        I ultimately ended up calling IRS Records and complaining about the 
limited distribution of the NO-SPEAK Label. They promptly sent me a catalog 
with all the NO-SPEAK Discs/Tapes and I promptly BOUGHT them all.

On Watercourse Way they had a progressive-jazz-rock orientation. With 
Windham Hill they got more into newage and world music. (Natural, considering
the label.) Also, I'd guess that at W.H. there's more emphasis on careful,
"perfect" production.

So, I borrow some Dead Can Dance from a friend, and I'm blown away by
some of it. I'm amazed at how I thought I had followed and
conclusively written off 4AD records after my days sorting stock for
the world's largest record store, but then along comes stuff like
"Mother Tongue" on "The Serpent's Egg", "Spirit", "Fortune distributes ..."
and so on to show me how wrong I was.

Amidst all this excitement (boy ! 2 sets of CD's to collect now: DCD
and my other current rave, Shankar [ in indian classical/ecm mode ]),
I'm wondering about lyrics, of all things.

Who *is* John Francis Dooley ? What century do the lyrics to "Fortune
distributes (...)" come from ("because in a village a poor lad has
stolen one hen", etc) ? What, in general, is the inspiration for DCD's
lyrics ? 

-- paul (yeah, dead *can* dance !)

ps: to all those TD-ex fans out there, followers of rubycon, phaedra
and similar - move on up ! DCD is not at all the same, but you might
hear a few echoes of bits of TD amidst the psycho-madrigals they do ...

Does anyone know what the song about the "Hummmm" is all about?
Some of us have had some fun speculating.

By the way, I noticed that "Atmospheres", a CBS sampler (which contains a
couple of songs from this CD) is on the used CD server (not my post).
CBS isn't a notable newage label, but I really enjoy the sampler.

I have listened to Philip Glass - "Glassworks"  "Solo Piano" 
"Koyanisquattsi"  and a film soundtrack to a Japanese movie
(all on CDs in the music library on campus) each once.
I have seen "Powaquattsi" as well.

While I can appreciate the severe differences in his style;
I was never hooked to his music.  I continued to listen to
his different albums in the library out of curiosity
(and because of availability to listen to them for free).

I'm still curious as to which artists produce music
of more "epic" proportions - I keep thinking about
Vangelis and his pieces "Message" "Chariots of Fire"
"Alpha" "Heaven and Hell part 3"... and then I
think of more of a movie soundtrack type theme,
but produced on synth equipment rather than traditional
instruments.

Michael Stearns on "Encounter" certainly had that "big sound"
in his music, but lacked the energy I seek.  Tangerine
Dream stuff, specifically their recent works, has the energy
but not the emotional flare of some artists.

Anyone familiar with the instrumental by Genesis on their
Invisible Touch album - "The Brazilian" ???   Like that.

Thanks to past and future responses.

No Blue Thing is merely Deep Breakfast in disguise.  I enjoyed DB when
it first came out in '86 (?) and I was interested in hearing his
follow-up effort.  When I listened to NBT and discovered that it was DB
all over again, I got a little turned off to Mr. Lynch.  I think that he

Probably my favorite space music album is John Serrie's "And The Stars Go
With You."  Nice relaxing, and I just think every piece is so well done.
Here is a list of other albums good for relaxing, meditating, or falling
asleep to:

Steve Roach, Kevin Braheny, Michael Stearns - Desert Solitaire
Steve Roach - Quiet Music, Structures From Silence
Brian Eno - Ambient 4/On Land, Appollo, Discreet Music
David Parsons - Yatra (I haven't heard his other discs yet, unfortunately)
Michael Stearns - Encounter

Others which you might like are Michael Stearns' "Chronos" and Constance
Demby's "Novus Magnificat".  "Chronos" is just a phenomenal album, and should
be in EVERYONE'S collection.  Though there are two sections that if you are
trying to fall asleep, they may wake you up.  It gets pretty powerful at time.
Very dynamic.  "Novus Magnificat" is a pretty good space music album.  Nice
choir sound.  Though real classical enthusiasts may be turned off by the
artifical sounds and articulations of her sampled sounds.

Hope this helps!

Check out the album Spiral which is probably his most upbeat album.  I
would also get hold of Themes which has the original Vangelis version of
the Bladerunner End titles which are great.  Chariots of fire isn't very
driven however, but an album like Heaven & Hell Contains some of
Vangelis' best work, lots of fast pacy stuff but lots of slower
orchestrated material which works a treat...

I'm glad they did ... I didn't like Watercourse Way.
I'm not an accomplished musician, but the performance didn't seem as musical
or "tight" as compared to their subsequent Windham Hill releases.

Did they get a lot better, or did their style change?  (I know it changed
with Folksongs for a Nuclear Village ... that's when I lost interest.  I
do enjoy Chuck Greenburg's solo CD "Out of a Blue Planet" (or something like
that) though it didn't get great ratings.

Yes. Both. Stephen Hill runs the record label and also hosts the radio show.
As the name implies, most (but not all) of the music on the label is "spacey".
Some of the artists on the label are Michael Stearns, Kevin Braheny, Constance
Demby, Nik Tyndall, Raphael, Bill Douglas, Tim Clark, Robert Rich, David Lange,
Al Gromer Khan, Mychael Danna, Coyote Oldman, and Steve McDonald (his 
"Spinfield" is one of the fewreally vigorous rhythmic works on the label).

Ah, a JLP fan.  A man after my own heart.  I went through a Ponty phase
just a few months ago.  "Storytelling" and "Open Mind" have been my
favorites so far.  "Gift of Time" isn't bad either.  Some folks may
object to discussion of the guy here, since I think he's more jazz than
new age.  But, like most other new age artists, he's classified under
both in the record stores.

Indeed.  Who can resist "Beatbox" or their version of "Peter Gunn"?
Another hazy case of "new age", "industrial", or "synth rock"?

You and the rest of Planet Earth, it seems.  Don't get me wrong, I liked
her first album when I heard it (actually, her _second_, "Watermark") in
1989.  I just haven't flipped out like everyone else seems to have.

Yes.  I'm a big Glass fan too.  Apparently most people either love his

On the opening ttrack "Santorini":

If you listened to the whole album "Keys to Imagination" where this
composition came from, you'll find that the track is a follow up of the
1st track "The North Shore of Matsushima".

I'm not QUITE sure, but I believe CBS used "Santorini" in the 1988 Winter
Olympics.  Can anyone verify that?  I am sure that NBC (?) used Santorini
in U.S. Open (tennis) highlight films, and I believe they still do.
