R. Carlos Nakai is a Native American flute player.  One album I like 
especially well ic Cycles, which is flute and synthesizer.  The music from
this album is played as part of a museum exhibit somewhere in Arizona or
new Mexico.

He is excellent.

Obviously they save a huge amount of money by not publicizing their number
and not offering an 800 number. Magazines do the same thing - ever seen
a number on any letter or bill regarding a subscription? I agree it'd be
nice to have the option of calling them - but you already have that option, 
if you're willing to pay for a long distance call.

I've had it for a couple of years.  It is on a compilation disk called
"6 Tracks" (Warner 20P2-2725), and is a Japanese release.  This CD is
mostly from "Enya" and "Watermark".  See other posts about the new
release.

     I just recently started listening and collecting music from
     Yanni.  I really enjoy his instrumentals and piano and was
     wondering if there is any information about this guy such as
     where he is originally from, what is he doing now, any concert
     tours (I'd love to see him in concert!), and also if anyone has
     any recommendations on other artists that play this type of new
     age music.  Any and all information would be greatly appreciated!

     Thanks!

Funny you should ask: I have TWO copies.  If you would like one cheap  
(well, cheaper than new), email me and maybe we can work something out.

As for the review, I like enough to keep one of the two!  I didn't find  
the references to Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream on the back of the CD  
case all that relevant, but overall the album is creative, has good  
variety and is done by two talented musicians.

Hi,

	Some jazz that 'new agers' (Ugh! I hate that term as much as Harold

Chicago, Don Cherry and Sun Ra.  Cherrys 'Brown Rice' and Ras 'Blue Delight'

Not really - his recent releases on the Virgin Label (Miditerranean 
Pads, Beyond Recall, and Dresden Performance) can be purchased at just 
about any store (I mean "ordered, since they don't stock KS in general). 
These three albums, Timewind and I think Blackdance are officially 
released in the US.  Still, that's just a fraction of his entire work.  
I found some imports at ABCD, but got my best prices through Ranjit 
Padmanbhan who sells newage/electronic imports and hard-to-gets over the 
net. Example: Schulze's Mirage - a rare import - cost me $18.95, while 
ABCD wanted $24.  If you can find a better source than that - post it 
here

Why sure!  It's music from Enya's sister's new album.  Her name is Maire

I have a CD that has on the cover LCO5, where the 5 stands for the fifth
CD they produced.  It has the Tchaikovsly, Suk and Dvorak Serenades for
Strings.  The LCO stands for London Chamber Orchestra.  I really like
it, and it is perhaps the longest CD in terms of time (80:35).

The booklet inside has a lot of information about the recording (they
all play standing up for example), the orchestra (for more information
you can write to LCO Information Services, PO Box 251A, Surbiton,
Surrey, England), and the music.

Neither do I, as defined above.  When a description of jazz doesn't go
beyond the GRP catalog I wonder about the definition.  That isn't to say
there isn't anything in the GRP catalog that is worth having (Diane Schurr's
album with the Count Basie Orchestra and Daryl Stuermer's Stepping Out are
exceptions).

How about good albums which mix jazz and newage?  Roberto Perera's "Passion's,
Illusions, and Fantisies" is a notable one.  I think that Shadowfax and
Crystal Wind did it successfully as well.

You are probably correct, but someone earlier had implied that the
music came from Maire's solo album, which, in the case of this
particular ad, it does not.  Her album is a fine piece of work, however,
though it's closer to Clannad (in sound) than Enya.

Below are some recordings I have that feature B. Eno. I've * the ones that
I would recommend highly. As I read your message I was listening to Cobalt
Blue, which is really great stuff. I think there are some Eno fans out
there, but there so bored reading the messages about Enya, Vangelis, or JM
Jarre that they rarely speak up.

I could recommend other recordings that don't have Eno but are of a similar
vein.
