I'm afraid I can't agree with Mark regarding Mars Lasar.  The first time
I listened to the CD, I didn't like it but later decided to give it another
listen.  I liked it better the second time around and even better in
subsequent listenings.  However, there is "something that's just not quite
right" about this effort from Mars.  I like his composition style, I
like his arrangements but I think his technique needs some maturing.
Anyway, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this offering and I
think this artist has potential.

As to Patrick O'Hearn, I have all his works and with the exception of
Indigo, I could recommend any one of them.  However, if I had to choose
only one of them for a three month stint in Greenland, I'd choose
"Rivers Gonna Rise".  Happy listening.

I agree with the "doesn't sound like..." part, but to me that's a benefit, not

Here's what I think of Yanni's stuff:

Optimystique: Not worth it.  It doesn't sound like any of Yanni's
other stuff, and it doesn't have much of a 'personality' to it.

Keys to Imagination: A must-have!  It's a bit dreamier than Yanni's
other stuff, but it's different in a good way.  Here Yanni really puts
five-beats and seven-beats to good use.

Out of Silence: One of my two favorite Yanni albums.  It's upbeat and
has great melodies that you'll find yourself drumming your fingers to.

Chameleon Days: The other of Yanni's two really super albums, it's a
lot like Out of Silence.

Niki Nana: I never really liked this one as much as the previous
three.  In particular, I don't like the wailing on the title song.

Dare to Dream: This one's slightly different from his earlier stuff.
I like it as much as I like Keys to Imagination, I think; however,
'Desire' and 'Aria" are very classy.

I'd recommend getting all of the above except Optimystique.  Don't
bother with Reflections of Passion or In Celebration of Life (was that
the name?); they're just collections of stuff from the other albums.
The only new song is "Song for Antarctica" on Celebration, but you can
also find this song on "Polar Shift", a collection of songs by a bunch
of different Private Music new age artists, which I'd highly
recommend.

I have the following by Cusco ...

   2000 
   Mystic Isles (Islands?)
   Apirumac (however you spell that river)

I believe 2000 and MI might be compilations.
I've been kind of busy, so I just grab one of their CD's and play it
when I'm doing things ... haven't spent much time with the track listing
or notes.   Not even sure if I can link songs to which CD.

Anyways, Cusco is an ensemble from Germany.
Some of their stuff is available in the U.S. on the Silver Ware Records.

I've seen writeups in the Heartbeats catalog and in Silver Ware mailings.

Wonderfully varied, complex and yet accessible, IMHO.
Definitely synthesizer based, but the fact it is an ensemble could
account for it's richness and depth.  It's not just keyboard ... wonderful
percussion and I believe wind instruments.

These are just one listener's impressions ... any keyboard guru's out there
who can give a more informed review?

OK, I'll bite - I've listened to various things he was involved with since
about 1980 - The Love of Life Orchestra with him and Peter Gordon, and his
work with Laurie Anderson. I've bought one solo release by him, but I found
it very boring, but to be fair, it is a soundtrack to a dance thing (I think
I'm talking about Safety in Numbers, or maybe Strange Cargo) and I get a
feeling of it being incoplete, not whole - which is a feeling I sometimes
get from other soundtrack type works (Tuxedomoon's Desire comes to mind). 

Anyway, I'm curious. I haven't given up, but I haven't been too impressed
by his solo stuff yet. I'd be interesting in hearing more about what you
like in his works and why. I find the r.m.newage posting interesting, as
I thought he is primarliy a percussionist. 

I recently bought one of the Love of Life Orchestra lps used - I'd had it 
years ago and sold it. On hearing it again I can see why - it's very dance 
oriented funky stuff, but not quite funky enough or strange enough to sound
unique.

Roach
=====

The name of Steve Roach is mentioned here from time to time, and I
thought it would be worth a try to listen to him.

The only problem is I can't find any of his music here (on CD).
Strange indeed; he's not _that_ obscure, is he?

I'm going to be a few days in Washington DC and New York in about a
month, so I'd like to buy some cheaper CDs while there, including
something of Steve Roach.  I won't have time to listen, so suggestions
for "best choice" is greatly appreciated !  I know next to nothing
about his music, except that it's often mentioned here....

If it's relevant, I like TD, esp. 1974-83 (plus Underwater Sunlight,
which I'm listening to as I type...)

NYC
===

As I have many other things do do/see in NYC besides shopping for CDs,
I thought I'd just head straight for Tower Records and get it over
with.  :-)  Or is there perhaps some other place which is better for
newage music?


Thanx in advance,

My guess is that it was Hymn, from Opera Sauvage.  If you want to be
safe, just buy Themes.  It contains Hymn, and if it turns out to be the
wrong song, you'll still have all the other cool stuff he did (including
the only recorded Bladerunner tracks available).

Yeah, I have one song of hers on a "Best of" compilation a friend gave me
(all the songs she liked... I did the same for her too...), _Standing Stones_.
It's a great song, and she *does* have an excellent voice!  I had heard that
she was in the NYC area not all that long ago.  I was damned upset at missing
her.  I would have loved to have heard her sing live....

Niki Nana and Out of Silence are my faves, as well!  Chameleon Days has some 
good songs on it as well!  (The last new Yanni I saw in the stores was 
Reflections of Passion, which is another "BO" collection...(BO=Best of (to

I know the Audion label, run by Larry Fast of Synergy, is basically dead,
but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could get ahold of Garry
Hughes' album ...  damn, I can't recall the title.  I had it on cassette
at one time, but it was stolen out of my car.  Anyway, said album had 
the song 'rushcutters' on it.

I'm also interested in availability of anything else on the Audion label,
esp their first stuff; and Synergy stuff when they were going through 
Passport records.

I want this stuff on CD, needless to say.


thanks...

I would say to wait until Tuesday, when Patrick's "Best Of" album comes
out.  Then you can pick which of his styles you like and go from there. 
Personally, I like "Rivers Gonna Rise" better than "Eldorado," though
"Amazon Waltz" on Eldorado is one fun piece!

YES!!  This is what I was looking for (mind you, keep those cards and 
letters coming.  I'm still  looking).  

Actually, though, I alrady have JULY on disc.  Pity, eh?

I'll be visiting San Francisco soon and I'd like to find a few good
record stores.  Anything specializing in new age, hard-to-find imports,
Celtic/Irish music would be much appreciated!
Also, used CD places would also be fine...

Thanks in advance.
