Corny New Age Music

Post bad New Age music, I want to hear the Korg M1 pan flute drenched in reverb.

For real tho, its kinda interesting hearing layers of old 80's synths

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 )

Actually a pretty influential album. Check out the latter half of OPN's 'Magnetic Rose'.

Is this cultural appropriation?

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.

I used to listen to Shpongle when I was a teenager but it never clicked with me that it was straight up New Age

No. (I actually like the Sadeness.. a bit)

But I found it! Sacred Spirit!

This is the shit your mom listened to whilst reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull:

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.

totally agree, i love choral music in almost any form. the track my head originally went to was Return To Innocence, but then remembered Sadeness

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)
