Word on FB from mutual friends that Geoffrey Chandler has passed. Only one album in his discography but that one helped define the entire genre. We need a cleaned up remaster of it very very badly.

idk about the first track but otherwise SEARCH: Remote Dreaming by The Ghostwriters, from 1986. absolute bliss. basically sounds like the album title + the cover illustration

i lived long enough to see this dollar bin record get a fancy new vinyl reissue that will probably cost you about 25 bucks with shipping:

also came here to say that this album is awesome and should cost you about five bucks now so don't wait for the 30 dollar reissue in ten years:

It’s totally not worth a search but just want to mention that in my city every adult seemed to have only 3 new age artists in their collection and they were always the same: Enya, Spyrogyra and Secret Garden. Era was also huge but that was in the new age revival attempt in the late 90’s. Were “Ameno” and “Misere Mani” as huge in the US or Europe? I know they were also huge in France. Here in Mexico they would play in the hits radio every single day. And both Era 1 and Era 2 were selling like hot bread and would be featured in the top 10 of every fucking music store you entered.

“Misere Mani” is actually a guilty pleasure of mine... I feel it would be an awesome song with better production it makes pop with gregorian chants work better than they should.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:29 (six years ago) link
spyro gyra are a jazz group, yo!
― brimstead, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:45 (six years ago) link
or like, when jazz-funk started to stink. some of their early stuff is nice, though
― brimstead, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:46 (six years ago) link
Oh you’re right! Tbh I’ve never listened to them I just related them to new age because they were popular around the same time and the same audience as new age consumers.

Re: Ghostwriters, I've been wondering what you can say about Charles Cohen these days. He made some really fantastic synthesiser music. One of those tracks is on the A Retrospective compilation.
― Noel Emits, Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:08 (six years ago) link
new age fans might be into the other spirogyra though. especially first wave new age fans who went from art/prog rock to new age.

i'm ticked that peter davison's "glide" (which is a good record) has all sorts of hipster newage cred (though the rest of his extensive discography is completely unknown) while douglas adams' "light rain" languishes in unheard obscurity

I’d be surprised if that one had hip cred because it’s really ummmm 80s Folgers commercial-ish? Idk how exactly to describe it, just a really warm unpretentious un-cosmic vibe.

I've listened through a couple of times, too. Fantastic. Looks like Wiese was in Popol Vuh for a bit. Well, a year. Playing tambura, the massive hippie.

I guess David Hykes fits in here? I can't stop listening to Hearing Solar Winds and, especially, Harmonic Meetings - both so enveloping and expansive. This year has been a cunt in so many respects but I'll remember it for being the year I re-learned how to sit still and listen.

This album is very quiet and subdued, but it is absolutely not New Age music:
https://wejazzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/superposition
And yet, it's nominated for a New Age Grammy. Bizarre.

Morning Trip & Yoga Records are proud to finally reveal one of the ultimate lost masterworks of new age music: Alice Damon’s Windsong!
Gently propelled by Damon's haunting breath-of-life vocal winds reminiscent of Joan La Barbara underscored by field recordings and Damon's fretless bass sound calling to mind mid-70 Joni Mitchell, Windsong is traveling music, for the roads or for the skies. Instantly moving, it conjures vistas both romantically familiar and cosmically mysterious — waterfalls and wind, the voice of the earth, as heard through heavenly prisms.
