music The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet

[qlit]

This song was recorded from a German radio station called NDR between 1982 and 1984. Search (online) has been active since the early 2000s, when the song was made available online, and to this day no one has been able to give any accurate and correct information about the origin of the song. Facts like the band's nationality and exact year of recording are unknown, and to this day, we have not gotten any information about the whereabouts of the authors, or even the correct title of the song. Apparently there is no alternative online register/archive of this song, since the only source we have of this song is from the cassette tape that the person named Darius recorded from the radio. A Reddit user found that in the chorus of this song, a synth called Yamaha DX7 was used, there's a preset called Syn-Lead 5, and it's exactly the same sound they used in the song, the Yamaha DX7 was released in 1983, so we may have a basis that the song was probably recorded in 1984, or late 1983.

Pretty sure someone on youtube has actually identified this singer...

I was sure Klaus Nomi's version of The Cold Song taken from the Frost Scene in 17th century opera King Arthur by Henry Purcell, depicting Cupid awakening the Cold Genius or the spirit of Winter from his slumber was the most mysterious song anywhere.

I hope there is irony here, because it was discovered very recently.
