We all know of course that Jon Anderson is the lead singer with Yes, 
and the spin-off ABWH group.  He's had 4 collaboration albums with
Vangelis: Short Stories, The Friends of Mr Cairo, Private Collection and
The Page of Life.  He's also appeared on some tracks of other Vangelis
albums such as Heaven & Hell.  Jon has also worked quite a bit with Mike
Oldfield, on albums such as Crises and singles like Shine.  He's
released numerous solo albums, on which Vangelis has featued from time
to time like 3 Ships.  He's a pretty talented guy who started out in a
band with his brother singing Everly Brothers tracks in pubs, but he's
also possible the worlds MOST pretentious person re: lyrics and
inspiration, notwithstanding the religious content of most of his stuff
these days.

	I dunno if she's done any solo albums, but she's been on Sisters of
Mercy "Vision thing" (not very newagey...), doing some nice backing vocals.
	I know this isn't much of a help, but I thought it might be interesting

I haven't thought of checking out CD's from the library.
It's been awhile since I spent much time in a library (8+ years undergraduate

What's available?  (I've got a DAT deck and many times I don't want to

You should have listened to Mark Shreeves' _LEGION_ release while reading
"The Stand" as Kings' novel had a direct influence on this release (alas,
it's not available on CD and is probably out of print otherwise)! New age,
it ain't, though!

ORIGINALLY RELEASED??? Those library diss, while good stuff, ain't the same!)

>have happened because the two works actually are somewhat similar in tone--they really do go well together.  In addition, "The City" demands vivid imagery, morethan any other Vangelis album I know of, so that could easily contribute.  I suspect the imagery Vangelis had in mind probably wasn't the decimation of the human race by germ warfare though...

Most, no all of you, seem to have neglected to mention my personal

It has a great sound for both lying still - as in relaxing  AND
is also upbeat enough that you can do things to it. My one friend
uses this album to figure skate to. Another to ride their motorcycle
around. "It's intense cruzin' muzik!!" so he says.

Tangram, get a little bored during Phaedra and think that Lily on the

I didn't get "Celebration" for the same reason, but I did buy the "Reflections

Anyone know the real deal?

It's also an illegal way to build a collection, Duane.

Taping library albums is just like photocopying entire books.

Taping your own LP's is perfectly legal, N.B.  Checking out CD's from a 
library and taping them is a clear violation of U.S. Copyright law.

I also higly recommend Strata.  It was by Steve Roach (which I am surpised

another guy with the last name of Rich... (I forget at the moment).  THis

John Bozeman's assumption that New Age music is connected with New Age
religion/mysticism is not at all naive.  In fact, many people do believe
they are connected.  Many people have asked me, knowing that I like
New Age music, whether  I'm into "crystals" and that kind of stuff.

Maybe that does make a case for changing the name of New Age music.  But
I don't think anyone's hurt by the name "New Age" even if it doesn't
apply to every album and every artist.  Composers such as Yanni, Andreas
Vollenweider and William Ackerman insist that their music is not New
Age, but the fact is that their music comes closer to being representative
of that genre than any other genre we have in the English language.

I vote all of those as a "no".  A record store trying to sell albums will
probably catagorize most of them as "yes" with the exception of Enigma
and Cocteau Twins.  They'll end up in the Rock bins.

My first Ray Lynch exposure was No Blue Thing, and I was really blown away.
I really like the mix of "synthy" and "acoustic" sounds, and each piece has
a different kind of excitement.  When I got around to Deep Breakfast, I have to
admit that it was a bit of a letdown; I can't quite put my finger on it, but
it just didn't excite like NBT and seemed to be more of a "one man band" synth
style.  It's still not bad though; Lynch certainly has a different sound, and
maybe I'd like DB better if I heard it first.

Incidentally, Mountain Woods by Larry Knechtel is another newage album worth
a listen.

Assuming Music West has indeed gone out of business, I urge people to
go get these albums before they become unavailable:

--Jim Chappell, "Living the Northern Summer."  Much better than the more
recent "Saturday's Rhapsody," it is on this album that Jim does the best
job of putting together well-structured, melodic, evokative compositions.
Though Jim's obsession with downward scales in the left hand becomes a bit
predictable, the pieces vary nicely in tone and style.  From the euphoria
of "June Dance" to the drama of "Storm Rider," Jim does a great job of
"describing" his summers up in Michigan.

--Mark Sloniker, "Perfectly Human."  I know I already raved about him once
but this is an album that will live forever in my collection.  Mark has
come closest, in my opinion, to constructing the perfect New Age album.
His pieces combine the best elements of the New Age character (including
synthesizer, dissonance, etc.) yet are well-structured and professional.
You just can't say enough about a piece like "Dance for Eight Fingers and
Two Thumbs," which features an exciting and euphoric yet delicate piano
based ensemble.  "Getting There IS the Fun" shows that repeated synthesizer
in New Age music does not have to be boring; Mark accomplishes this by
cleverly varying his speed and rhythm within the nine minute piece.  I
remember one person responded to my last post saying he or she tried to
make a tape of this 62 minute album for the car, but could not decide which
piece to omit!  That's the beauty of this album--every piece has its
own character, its own professionality, and its own feeling.
Describing an album in computer text is tricky at best, but if anyone
disagrees with me, or has more questions about this album feel free to
ask.
By the way, Weather Channel viewers have definitely heard material from
this album before; "Dance for Eight Fingers and Two Thumbs" was used
on the :27 and :57 segment between August 1991 and February 1992;
"Harpo's Theme" still is used (and has been since 8/91) occasionally
at :06 after the hour.  Beginning in March The Weather Channel added
"Bright Wish" and "Getting There IS the Fun;" those appear at :06 and :36,
I think.  Just listen for the great pieces!

Anybody heard of this new band, and their new CD called
HyroGlyphs on the 4D music label.  The artists are
Frank Loch and Lenna Reid.  They claim to be influenced
by Phillip Glass and other post-minimalist artists.

  Thanks,
