I have liked all of the Manheim Steamroller except "Saving the
Wildlife", which was not at all like the Fresh Aire series.  Even
(read especially) the Christmas CDs are terrific.

"The story of my heart" of Suzanne Ciani is simply boring except the first
track. Background music, too much beatiful, too sweet harmony. Try another
album.

If you want everything you have to get the US CD EP (11 mixes + Roil) plus

Ranjit is back from vacation, and confirmed that it would be ok to post his
name and address here. So, here are the vitals.

If you're looking for an imported or other hard-to-find CD, Ranjit
Padmanabhan maintains a catalog of same for sale. His address is
ranjit@synopsis.com; send him mail asking him for his catalog if you're
interested. He tends to carry primarily progressive rock and new age sorts
of things, and typically doesn't bother with easily available domestic
releases.

I have no connection with Ranjit other than as a customer-to-be (as soon as
I get around to placing an order). If you're looking for something rare or
imported, drop him a line and check out his catalog.

    Hmmm...  Well, the last time I checked Tower was still selling _Blood_
    for $23.99 ( about $10 over the going price for CDs at Tower ).

If you like this electronic, dark and sacral style then you'll also like the
music of SKINNER BOX, at least a few songs. I've got one recording,
but only on tape, and the album doesn't seem to have any name. In order to

There has been a lot of cross-over of light jazz into New Age (see Keyboard
mags article on New Age 2 years ago). Basically mellowed-out jazz.
It is relaxing. The local FM station's 'New Age program' plays lots of
this. Almost anything on the GRP label (Chick Corea, Dave/Don Gruisin, etc.).
I have a Sade album (I forget the title - it has a song called Paradise
which I think was released as a single) which is way funky yet mellow.
Very nice to relax to.

Also check out William Orbit's Strange Cargo CD on IRS records. This guy
is an amazing multi-instrumentalist. The music is instrumental and
encompasses a wide variety of styles. The second song Fire and Ice is
as funky as they come !

The Orb is ambient (a la Eno) yet they break into a dance groove every
once in while. Just heard about them and got one CD (so far) and just
getting into them.

If ou find any other new age funk , please let me know !


cheers,

Well, in England perhaps. It's not a Bank Holiday up here in Scotland, so
it's quite possible that not only will we get the live performance of it,
we'll also get the album itself a day earlier than the rest of the UK :-)

D50P6247-1  Himekami
D50P6247-2  Legend
D50P6248-1  Mahoroba (Utopia)  (with Yas-Kaz)

D32R0023    Oku no Hosomichi (lit., narrow hiking paths of
            northern part of Japan) (it's the title of
            Matsuo Bashou's collection of poetry, haiku, etc.)
D32R0024    Far plains
D32R0045    Hokutou Gensou (lit., Northern Sky Illusion)

Two compilations of Himekami's music have been released by
the U.S. label Higher Octave:

HOMCD 7023  Moonwater

This is a new EP cd5 with a couple of remixes of this song, which is 
actually from the "Nerve Net" release due early next month. Some guy
online named Ranjit runs a mailorder service taht I think has this, 
and stores near you might too. If you want Ranjit's mail address 
email me - malcolm@wrs.com. 

This release is sort of dance oriented Eno, the rest of the new release may be
different. I'll leave the suggestions to other folks too, but you might
try Byrne/Eno "My Life in The Bush of Ghosts" if you like the upbeat stuff.

Cusco is released in the U.S. on the Higher Octave label, which is a
rather small label.  I've noticed that the big record chains take their
time in propagating throughout their stores releases from small labels.
Now, if it had been Michael Jackson releasing something on CBS/Sony on
August 11th, it would be in the stores (if not sold out) on August 11th.
It might be two or three weeks before you see "Cusco 2000".

There is a newage-only music store where I live and the owner there
tends to get new releases before they show up in the bigger stores.
But she doesn't have "Cusco 2000" yet; her distributor, Music Design,
should be getting it for her soon.

The August 11th date is perhaps most meaningful to those who use
Higher Octave's mail order service - they should have had it on the
release date.  But the price is $15 plus $1 for postage if I recall,
so getting it in a store might be cheaper.

Maybe someone will post when they see "Cusco 2000" in a store -
you know I will.  :-)

I don't agree.  I love the Orb and also love TD but they are in a
different class.  TD put MUCH more effort into the sound texturing.
Dr Alex on the other hand depends entirely on samples a digital delay
and tons of reverb.  There's no variation on this.  The Blue Room is so
bloody ambient it gets annoying after a while.  I don't believe that the
Orb demonstrate the creativity of the early TD stuff (I don't associate
anything after and including Optical Race with TD) which pushed the
boundaries at every moment.  Certainly the bands have a lot in common,
but the Orb is a only an echo of TD.

   Many people think the very best solo album by an ex-TDer (if you consider
   him to be in that category) is Michael Hoenig's "Departure From the Northern
   Wasteland". Terrific late-70s German analog stuff. If I had to compare it to 
   any TD album I guess it would be Stratosfear. 

I second the recommendation for "Departure"; it's possibly my favorite albumn.
I picked up a copy at Tower Records in Phliadelphia over Memorial Day weekend
for 16 or 17 dollars.

It has been.. I think sometime last last year..

I noticed that there is a more active discussion going on in r.m.m
about them. Many people have different viewpoints about what is "newage"
music and like to discuss their stuff under alternative music groups
or in r.m.m ..many of us do not like our favourite artists being
labelled nuage of all things..;-) "Alternative" is a much less wishy

> I thought that Cauty simply co-wrote one or two of the tracks... 

Cauty was as much a part of the band as Paterson was; they cut the "Pulsating
Brain" single in his apartment for chrissakes.

I've just seen the artwork for the new Oldfield release. It's
NOT called Tubular Bells 3, it's called Tubular Bells II. The
artwork is the same as the original, except the tubes are a sort
of flourescent copper/yellow colour against a dark purple 
background.

At the bottom you see:     TUBULAR BELLS||MIKE OLDFIELD
                                        ||

Obviously, the "||" lines represent the number 2.

Release date is Aug. 31st in the UK, Sept 6th in North America.

I'll be getting a chunk of TB2 on monday or tuesday and will
relay any details.
