Corny New Age Music


Recommended Posts

I like this thread

 

 

Here's something I made a while ago, a remix of Planet Boelex; thought it might be relevant to this thread:

 

 

I'd also planned to get deeper into using new age-y sounds in my music, but never got beyond this:

(sorry for the spam, I just thought it might be relevant :emotawesomepm9: )

I really love Kitaro's album Silk Road III: 敦煌. It's unbelievably beautiful. I found an original Japanese pressing of it (with the obi strip still on it) in a big used record warehouse, and it's a very special one to me. This is one of my favorite moments from it:

Plantasia is another essential.

That's odd. I thought he lives in Japan. I wonder why he moved to the United States.

Yeah, I was going to post Deep Forest. Just heard it recently coming from a hippie store. Fffuck.

 

There was also this group that mixed native American singing with some new age synths? I can't remember the name.

While the instruments in Sadeness are definetely corny: the Gregorian choir, pan flutes, etc, the subject matter is a little bit more edgier than the usual new age blandness. I mean it's about Marquis de Sade. So it isn't that typical new age track.

heard this in a taxi on the way to Sonar in Barcelona at the weekend... as if 90's euro-new age is still played on the radio over there or the guy just had a CD ready to stick on for tourists hah

 

proper suited the vibe tho.

 

da sample is actually a pretty beautiful traditional lullaby from that solomon islands (thx wiki)...

Beautiful. The UNESCO Collection is great. Their recordings of Swiss yodeling are very nice.

I have an embarrassing amount of these on cassettes. Goes hand in hand with my enjoyment of vaporwave and underground synth drone. Lot of Narada, Windham Hill, American Gramaphone, etc. Sampling with with my pitch shift capable cassette deck is something I never got around to (yet)
