heard 15+ yrs ago
[b] i dont like the sound based on in depth research after
ur recommendation
[c] i think its uncool
[d] i dont have time 2 listen 2 another kind of music
[e] i wanna listen but its 2 intimidating
[f] D*U*N*N*O

good but hard question cuz i dont know wat will make u think
of those ladys and at the same time theres so many styles of
new age (and some ppl might not agree w/my definition lol
so im just gonna say some from labels no 1 will say isnt new
age

warren bennett - a time to remember

this is a cool trak i got in2 lately by warren bennett, b4
he made new age music he wrote library music for bruton and
music house. i like that song cuz i like the chords and the
other instruments go thru alot of phases and melodys, like
the flute part and near the end theres a cool funky synth
which is weird in such a slow song

richard souther - nightseasons

thats 1 of my alltime fav new age songs, the arp and synths
are like something from tangerine dream but they sound
really nice n soft and friendly and it make u feel really
comforted. but its not all major chords it has a dark
shadowyness imo which is the best

tim story - to his grand sea

tim story imo is 1 of the most under rated artists ever imo
and its ALL cuz of his "new age" label. hes super similar 2
harold budd for example cuz they both used alot of piano and
electronic music but harold budd is COOL and tim story isnt
cuz he put out albums on windham hill.

david and steve gordon - still waters

this trak is a frikin REVELATION, if i just tell u its piano
and synth and forest sound effects u will not listen to it
cuz ppl have that pre concieved notion about what that music
+ nature sounds stuff is about. but when i heard this i was
like WOW i didnt expect it would be like that, like i said
before some new age music gave ppl the impression is all
major scale stuff with no TENSION but thats just false even
in the nature sound stuff. this is like taylor
deupree/chihei hatakeyama type ambient music but made way
back in the 80s

I'm not drawn to new age because it is too free. Free of a
stylized aesthetic. Style being an ego accessory that I am
conditioned to despite my criticisms of such things

such things related to tickling the ego, and the idea of how
I appear to others
