Well, lots of people giving attention to the "new age" happen to like that
kind of music.  Perhaps an alternative would be to call it "music for
the new age," or for the "new-agers."

I'm "New Age" though, and I'm NOT into "crystals...."

Whenever the term "New Age" arose is irrelevant.  The "Age of Aquarius,"
which is the name of the "New Age," was being touted back in the mid 1960's.
That's almost 30 years ago.  

The New Age is not like turning on a light bulb.  It's more like day
fading into night through an evening that matches the length of a 
2000 year long "day."  The transition has been taking place for at least
60 years or so (perhaps even a hundred), and will continue perhaps for
another hundred.

Or compare it to a sunrise.  At first only a little light suffuses the
darkness, and it grows slowly until there is more light than dark.
Then soon after, the sun breaks the horizon and there is direct sunlight.
As the sun continues to rise, it gets brighter and brighter.

The first hints of the light of the New Age came years ago.  This light
influenced musicians, artists, and people of all kinds.  Some have not
yet noticed that it is getting brighter, and some fight to keep the
darkness, but the sun _will_ rise.  Perhaps these artists do not claim
to be New Age, but it is obvious that their works are influenced by
the energy of the New Age.  Consequently, people attuned to the New Age
will be attracted to it.

We ain't seen nothin' yet!

Jon Anderson really gets around!! I was just reading the text from
Vangelis' Direct and it seems that Jon has worked with him also.
(I wish I brought it in so I could tell you all verbatim.)

For those that don't recall Jon has helped score a few soundtracks.
My fav is Legend with Tangerine Dream and Jon.

Anyone else have Jon spotting they wish to share. ( old or new )

P.S. I really miss the band Cold Sweat before they had to change
	 their lineup. I saw them in Oswego and they frequently played

After seeing Vangelis' name on this newsgroup so often, I finally
checked out a copy of "Direct" from the library (one of the apparently
less popular new age CD's there, since it is rarely checked out).
IMHO, its pretty good!  I especially liked the driving, somewhat
upbeat tone of some of the tracks on it (e.g., "Ave").  I've also
heard some of his stuff on "Polar Shift" and liked that, too.

So, what else would you recommend in the way of upbeat, "driven" music
by him?  "Chariots of Fire"?  "Themes"?  Or what?

not liking the music. I hope I see some responses on the net.

But would you care to describe her music a bit. I read about her

I do not know how widely her music is available at stores. I think
I saw her albums on Wayside Catalog..

I'm somewhat new to the "scene" but I can at least give you an answer.
HOS or Hearts of Space is a radio show on our public radio stations.
Public radio being listener supported via fund raisers and telethons.
They are also government subsidized and accept donations from companies.
Anyway, HOS is an hour long show that features new age and similar style
music and are very good at telling you the titles, albums and artists.

Their playlist is available for each week's show on The Well (which I
wish I had access to...anybody willing to do a weekly HOS_Mailing_List?
myself and others would appreciate it muchly) OR send them $2.00 for 
postage and handling. (Sorry no address today - I will post it tomorrow
if no one beats me to it)

That's the short version if anyone else can eloborate on this feel free.

P.S. GIVE generously to public radio or at least give something.
     They will give (more) back in great programming.

P.P.S. Also I listen to "Music from the 21st Century" which follows
	   HOS on my local station (WXXI 91.5 Rochester,NY Sun @ 10pm
	   for HOS and 11pm for 21st Century) and I enjoy this also.

Keywords: Narada
Date: 6 Apr 92 13:52:20 GMT
Organization: Schlumberger CAD/CAM; Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA)

I just purchased the brand new Narada release, "Columbus and the
Age of Discovery".  It was a CD with no long box, just wrapped in
plastic.  Hmmm.  I wonder if Narada has started the transition
away from the long cardboard boxes.  Anyways, it came with a
mini catalog of sorts, featuring selected releases.  A few of
them have just come out, one is forthcoming, and others have
been out since last year.  They are:

 1. The Narada Wilderness Collection - Music by 17 Narada Artists
    This one has been out for some time now.

 2. The Spirit of Olympia - Music by David Arkenstone, Kostia,
      David Lanz
    The catalog mentions that it comes with a 72-page booklet,
    and that Narada is donating a portion of the proceeds from
    the recording to the United States Olympic Committee.  I
    suppose Narada is the only new age label to be an official
    licensee of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Team?  I haven't seen
    this in the stores yet.

 3. Columbus and the Age of Discovery - Music by Sheldon
      Mirowitz
    This music comes from a seven-part television series which
    I guess hasn't been aired yet.  The catalog says that
    Mirowitz has composed a lot of music for PBS's "Nova" series.

 4. Millenium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World - Music
    by Hans Zimmer
    This is music for a 10-part television series.  The CD shows
    that this is a Narada Cinema (tm) release.  The catalog says
    that Zimmer scored the films "Driving Miss Daisy", "Rain Man",
    "Thelma & Louise" and others.  I heard a little bit of this
    one and it is very full, exciting music, with some brief
    vocals (tribal singing), at least in the part I heard.

 5. In the Garden - Music by Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel
    This one's been out for a while too.  (Is it pronounced
    "rumble" or "rum-BELL"?)

 6. A Childhood Remembered - Music by 12 Narada Artists
    Another out since last Fall.

 7. Alma Del Sur - Music by 8 Artists
    To be released in May, the catalog says.  The artists include
    Bernardo Rubaja (Argentina), Roberto Perera (Uruguay),
    Carlos Guedes (Venezuela) and Brazil's Junior Homrich.

 8. Wisdom of the Wood - Music by Nine Narada Artists
    Also available for a while now.

I don't intend this to be an ad for Narada.  I just like to know
when new stuff is coming out.  I figure that fellow Arkenstone fans
will be especially interested.

Lots, Judy.  I never would have heard Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, most
of Windham Hill's stuff, etc. w/o it.  I recommend heading down to

Hi there !

I have a few questions about an album by Tangerine Dream
that was discussed in this newsgroup lately.
It's called CANYON DREAMS.

1) What is it like ?
   (In other words is it as worse as all their other
    new stuff or does it belong to an older 'period' ?)

2) Does anybody know if it is available in Germany or
   anywhere else in Europe?
   (I think I've never seen a TD record of this name
    in any German record shop!)

3) When was it released (when was it recorded?) ?


Thanks in advance !
