Penguin Cafe Orchestra

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Release Date July 06, 1987
I have loved this album since it was released. It is sounds strange the first time it is heard. If you like it will become part of your life and part of your soul.

I saw the Penguin Cafe Orchestra play at Islington Union Chapel in 2007 when they played three concerts. It was one of the most astounding concerts I have seen. The atmosphere was electric with excitement that was shared by both the audience and the players alike.

The music was, apparently, created by Penguin Cafe's founding member so that he and his friends could meet and share a common interest. Not many works are created for nine musicians from very different disciplines; two violins, a cello, a saxophone, an oboe, pianist and trash percussion. ... Read More:

Smooth Jazz - The Essential Album

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 20, 2001
Of the 27 tracks on offer here a minimum of 11 are covers and some of the originals are from way back ie Grover Washington and Earl Klugh before the term Smooth Jazz had been dreamt up.

Dont get me wrong you get great musicians here and side one showcases some of the very best including Boney James, Rick Braun, Pieces of a Dream, Fourplay and the Rippingtons, where the CD falls down is side two where 10 0f the 13 tracks are from 1980 and before and would have probably fallen into the Jazz Funk category.

If you are looking to try a smooth jazz album I would recommend hunting down old Jazz FM compliations which are going very cheap on this site eg 101 Eastbound a penny, a bargain with more upto date artists.

Hyperborea

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Tangerine Dream

Release Date August 07, 1995
'Hyperborea' was the last album that Tangerine Dream made on the Virgin label, after a near ten year association and to be fair, lots of success.
The decision not to renew the contract must have given messrs Froese, Franke and Schmoelling a real boot up the jacksey musically, and creatively, because 'Hyperborea' is, in my opinion, the best record that this line up made for Virgin.
Opening track 'No Mans Land' is an unusual number with an Eastern flavour and a decent rhythm, it just gets a touch repetitive towards the end but kicks things off rather well.
The title track, 'Hyperborea' is next, and is by far the best track on the album. Slow burning, yet powerful, it creates an atmosphere so thick, you would need excalibur to slice ... Read More:

Journey to the Angels

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Llewellyn

Release Date October 05, 2006
I discovered the work of Llewellyn last year after picking up a CD at a local spirit & mind event being held at my council's recreation centre. Having listened to the Journey to the Angels I have to say it is his best work. The CD has been especially designed to allow you to connect with your personal guardian angel. The music is subtle yet wondefully relaxing and it creates the perfect ambience to allow you consciously reach out to your angel. Calming, delightful and magical.

Handful of Earth

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Dick Gaughan

Release Date May 16, 1995
It's about time this brilliant collection was up there in the best albums of all time lists. Utterly universal music, politically charged, each song a gem and the most brilliant singing and guitar playing. No pretension and affected star-posing. I'm at a loss to understand why this superb work isn't as oft cited as What's Going On and Blood on the Tracks. The gut-wrenching use of Burns' lyrics in Come Westlin' Winds, the righteous lament of The World Turned Upside Down, the delicate sentiments of Erin-Go-Bragh and Both Sides the Tweed and the strident Workers Song. What more do you want?
