You forgot Page_Of_Life and Short_Stories. Plus, I think Vangelis
help out on Andersons' Three_Ships. Anderson helps out on Vangelis's
Opera_Sauvage and is promenintly featured on Heaven_And_Hell.

Dosn't exist. The only CD version of _Legend_ was by Jerry Goldsmith.
As of right now, the TD version of _Legend_ will probably never see release
on CD due to licensing  problems due to the Brian Ferry track. FYI, TD and 
Anderson did not work together on Loved By The Sun, but it was
all put together in the studio. TD and Anderson have never met.
Plus the fact, the LP is out of print (surprised?). Your only hope for
obtaining the soundtrack is on cassette.

  The "companion disc" is called "Celebration of Life" and is excellent.
It is filled with Yanni's most happening pieces, all are upbeat and
fast-moving.  Definitely pick it up (if you don't already have his
previous albums, since it is a compilation).

     All of the above :-).  If you liked his last two, you may be disappointed
with the first one.  It is definitely slower and more moody.  You definitely
have to be in a different frame of mind to enjoy it.  The Sky of Mind was

Have I got an artist for you! Check out Harold Budd (The Spud)
on the now defunct Opal records.

Works like "The Serpent (In Quicksilver)" or any of his other
voluminous works are just the ticket. Beware if you're prone
to comas or somnabulism though! I hear there are some farmers from

Well, that explains a lot of things.  The local library has only *one*
recording by John Tesh.  It's this "Music From the Tour de
France--Vol. 1" cassette.  (It was donated by the local bicycle shop).
I've heard the "Early Years", and don't think it is NEARLY as good as
this "Vol. 1" cassette.  The only things I've heard from the "Tour de France"
1988 version have been on various Private Music samplers (Sampler #1
and "Polar Shift").  Both cuts were good.  IYHO, how does it rank w/
the "Vol. 1" casette?  Or, for that matter, his "Garden City" album?

You mentioned that the "Vol. 1" cassette was great to listen to while
bike racing.  While I don't race bikes, I do deliver pizza by bicycle,
and can agree *quite* heartily with your recommendation.  I always
listen to a collection of stuff by Tesh, Yanni, Vangelis, & Patrick
O'Hearn while delivering.  It can REALLY cut down my trip times!  I'm
surprised Nashbar and Perfomance Bike Shop hasn't gotten into
marketing new age tapes yet...:-)

BTW, what other tapes would you recommend listening to while riding?

Disclaimer:  I don't have this CD but I do have all his other solo CD's.

"In Celebration of Life" is a compilation album.  If you listen to "Keys
to Imagination" you'll find that it flows well from one piece to another.
This IMHO is probably his most uptempo album and several songs are included on
the compilation.  These are mixed with songs from other releases.  Sometimes
they don't flow right and the song is just faded out and not played to
completion.  It may not be how Yanni originally recorded it.  Compilation
albums in general suffer from this and that is usually why I am reluctant
to by them.

I find it pretty slow.  I've been told that there's a video of scenes from the

I have both _No Blue Thing_ and _Deep Breakfast_ and enjoyed them both so much
that I was thinking about getting _The Sky of the Mind_. You say it's quite
somber, but did you like it? I tend to like the faster songs more than the

Point well taken, Phil.  Thank you for the catch.  My extreme apologies if 
I sounded as though conservative Evangelicals were the only or only true 
Christians.  My posting obviously reflects my own limited background, and 
I should have said "unless _conservative Evangelical Christianity_ 
undergoes ...".   Perhaps the point I was really trying to get at wasn't 
brought out very well.  The point was that, from my LIMITED experience with 
very conservative Protestant Christianity (cPC), there's a real difference 
between the openness to new traditions and forms of experience that you find 
in "new age" music and thought, and the strong prejudice against and fear 
of the new and unknown that I find in cPC.  In particular, the influence 
of the East is generally feared and avoided in cPC.

YES!  "Satorini" WAS used in the Olympics.  I knew it sounded familiar...
no wonder I described it as sounding like "Olympic background music."

I splurged yesterday and bought some CDs:

Don Harriss - "Elevations"
Michael Jones - "Morning in Medonte"
Enya - "Shephard Moons"
Tangerine Dream - "Canyon Dreams"

(and a couple rock singles...)

My initial opinions after listening to them all twice:

Don Harriss - I bought the album because I heard the title
track played on Greg Stone's radio show Stonetrek on
98.5 KOME during the jazz fusion segment.  It was a nice
instrumental with a lead jazz piano melody over a repetitive
synth pattern.  Unfortunately, I found the rest of the album
very weak and unimaginative.  Even as background music,
the synth tones and melodies were boring.
I'd like to hear from other people whether his more
recent works are better, since I felt the first track was
very strong.

Michael Jones - always nice piano solos; nothing unexpected
from his newest album.  Four tracks, all nice, long expressive
pieces.  I listened to it a third time as I went to sleep.

Enya - I'm sorry, but even after all the hype of her
on this board, and after having given in and finally
getting one of her albums  -  bleah.  boring.  bleah.
I didn't know that much reverb on one album was legal.

Tangerine Dream - very nice; much better than "Lily..."
and "Melrose" although I just noticed it was written in 1987.
The much more relaxed pace allowed me to appreciate the
synth tones and overall atmospheres generated by the album.
At times, I was some how reminded of their earlier works
which I have - "Phaedra" and "Ricochet"


Unfortunately, none of the music I picked up was as riveting
as Vangelis's "Direct" or as moving as Peter Gabriel's "Passion."
Can anyone suggest some CDs which has some "big sounding"
new age music?  Somewhat like a movie soundtrack, but synth
