It may not available in USA yet but it will be soon!

Jon has worked with Vangelis quite a bit.  A few:

	Jon and Vangelis : The Friends of Mr. Cairo
	Jon and Vangelis : The Private Colletion (?)


That's funny....when I started this post, I had a few more in
mind and now I can't remember.  Anyway, those two are available
on CD.  Friends of Mr. Cairo is really good.

BTW, if anyone can tell me  where to get the Legend soundtrack
on CD, I would be most appreciative.


As far as Vangelis goes, I prefer Albedo 0.39 the most.  (Except
for the Bladerunner ST, which is unavailable in any format.)

After reading a follow netter's review I rushed out to get this album
(1988 version).  After listening to it I didn't think it was that great.
The music is less upbeat and inspirational than Yanni's stuff.

Is the 1990 version (The Early Years) smilar to his 1988 release, in
terms of "inspirationalability"?  Comments please.  Thanks.

It is *much* better than their recent stuff (but it was recorded in '87), with slightly
longer, less 'uptempo preset commercial' tracks. Some of the synth sounds are familiar,
but the actual compositions are far superior which is what counts. It's better than any
of their recent soundtracks too, with the possible exception of 'Dead Solid Perfect'

Released on CD in '91 (apparently with a Jerome Froese crappy extra track), recorded
'87...

Although I don't really care about the label (as long as I know where
to find it in Tower Records!  :) ), it strikes me as appropriate as a
label for a kind of music that:

  1.  is influenced by Eastern music and other cultural ways.
  2.  is, at times and for some artists, characterized by a return
        to "acoustic" instruments.
  3.  is, at times, influenced by new music technologies (e.g.,
        electric instruments, synthesizers,...).

Yes, these last two are mutually exclusive, and at times I feel less
inclined to include acoustic groups in "new age".  However, one way
that people often visualize the future is as a (partial) return to the
simplicity and peace of some imagined "golden days", and the acoustic
revival (and the generally peaceful, almost "rustic" character of the
music) seems like one expression of this.  As far as dumping both
acoustic and electronic in the same category, I guess it's symbolic of
how we grope and feel our way into whatever is next, and really don't
know where we're going until we get there.


Some people embrace the new immediately, while some cling to the
present and still others to the past.  One aspect of this is a
widespread search for spiritual meaning (in the _broadest_ sense of
the term).

I wonder, for example, if the relatively large percentage of purely
instrumental music (or voices used as instruments -- Brian Eno, Music
for Airports, for example) in the "new age" bins is a symptom of a
music that speaks to this search and the integrating effect that
finding a larger context for one's life typically has on the
individual.  In this sense, heavy metal/industrial/etc music focuses
on the negative side, the loss, meaninglessness, anger, hurt, and
chaos; the new age music, including acoustic and electronic, focuses
on the more positive, hopeful side.

In these terms, it's interesting that Christian music and new age
music have remained largely separate.  The Christian camp is, of
course, typically ultra-conservative and separatist.  And the
eclectic and harmonizing elements in "new age" thought have, in
my limited experience, been shunned as "falling away from the true
faith" by any remotely conservative Christian elements.

This may be overstated a bit, but I really think that unless
Christianity undergoes a major theological revolution, "new age" and
Christian will remain largely separate camps, including the music.

The history of one's present time, including literature and music and
all the other arts, must inevitably seem astonishingly more fragmented
than those "simpler" "golden days" of yore.  It's a function of
distance, and the fact that only a small percentage of any aspect of
any given culture will survive in the historians' accounts.  History
is a finicky eater; only a few choice morsels will appeal!

But seriously, there are some cases of overplay and overuse that one can
not help but picture that meaning --- like certain songs = Christmas.
One should not think of a song like meeting a person so that the first
impression is everything.

Actually, I don't typically  "like" a song the first time I hear it.
It usually grows on me or (oppositely) grates on my nerves as I hear it
a few more times. I've noticed that how much I like a group or a 
group's album depends on whether I have the album to some extent. The
idea being that I have read the credits, the words, who plays what,
etc. and thereby feel a closeness with the band that I wouldn't have
felt otherwise. This way I not only understand what the "artist"
wanted us to see and feel but also what I imagine the song to mean
with respect to who I was with, what I was doing, etc. It is also
my right to keep my meaning even if it conficts with the artists.
Both interpretations can exist and when you listen to the song you 
may think of your's, their's or a mixture of both.

This was meant only to voice an opinion, not a flame or even an answer,

.. Generally, you're right on with Eno.  If you're looking to fall
.. asleep to soothing new age synth stuff, try Eno's "The Pearl",
.. or better yet "Thursady Afternoon".  Thursday Afternoon is 1
.. hour of uninterrupted backgound music.  It evokes a "floating"
.. feeling for me.  It also reminds me of staring non-stop into
.. an aquarium and watching fish lazily swim. (How's that for
.. personal imagery?)

Any of Brian Eno's ambient albums would be great.  They include "Music
for Airports", "Plateaux of Mirrors" (w/ Harold Budd), and "On Land."
I also like some of the tracks on the "Music for Films III" CD.
Harold Budd's (not Pinter?)work is some of my favorite music ever.
Try "The "Pearl (I always thought of this as a H. Budd album, not Eno),
"The White Arcades", "Lovely Thunder", "Serpent (in quicksilver)", etc.
They are all excellent.

Some of the early Tangerine Dream albums such as Phaedra, Rubicon,
Zeit, and Alpha Centauri are also very atmospheric.

Steve Roach has a lot of great stuff including: "Dreamtime Return",
"Quiet Music", "Doset Solitaire", "The World's Edge", "Structures from
Silence", "Strata", and others. Again all are very atmospheric and
relaxing.

I also remember Andy Summers first two albums on the Private Music
label to be very good and atmospheric. I think they were titles
"Mysterious Barricades", and "The Golden Wire."

Hope this helps,

I am also one of the people very disappointed with the current Tangerine Dream
musical trends.  Apparently the newest album (though I have not listened to
it yet) has been recorded by Edgar and Jerome Froese.  Have they "kicked"
Haslinger out of the "family" band?

After Peter Baumann left in 1977, Tangerine Dream changed their style and
released "Cyclone" as a foursome after their North American Tour "Encore".
As far as I can remember, Steve Jollife and Klaus Krieger were the two 
new band members.  

Johannes Schmoelling's influence on the band was great and I think their
BEST recordings were in the Froese, Franke, Schmoelling era - "Force Majeure"
(1979), "Tangram" (1980), "Pergamon" (1980 - released in the West in 1986),
"Exit" (1981),  and "Logos" (1982) are among the most interresting.
"White Eagle" (1982), "Thief" (1981) can also perhaps be included in the
above category. 

My all time favourite Tangerine Dream record has to be "Tangram" (1980).
Every time I listen to it, I am placed in a certain mood.  The music fluctuates
between powerful synthesiser rhythms and subtle guitar-like sounds interwoven
in between the everchanging tempo.

Since "Livemiles" (1988), I have not heard anything "moving" by them, which
is very sad and disappointing.  "Lily on the Beach" and "Destination Berlin", 
both released in 1989 were shocking.  I was actually convinced for a short
moment, that perhaps this is not Tangerine Dream that's playing, but some
TV commercial music...   "Melrose" (1990) was perhaps a tiny bit better - but
just a tiny bit!

If Edgar continues this trend, perhaps the days of Tangerine Dream, as we have
known it for over 20 years are really gone forever.

I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.  I enjoy Yanni's music.  
It moves me and has meaning for me.  I don't know what you want from it.
Your expectations/characterization of Yanni's music seem snobbish
to me.  If you like it, great.  If you don't, don't listen to it
or write your own to suit your tastes.

Oh, and also try "Strata" (Peter Buffett ?).  This combines
space music with what I call "Earth Music," or sounds of  
nature.  In this case, it's sounds of a cavern. Truly unique.

"Lost Frontier" (Peter Buffett) is also one of my favorites....
