Anyone like 'New Age' music or similar?

Post Reply New Topic

I really enjoy Anugama, 7and5, Constance Demby, Deep Forest, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Enya etc etc.

I'm keen to get to know other artists in this genre. What can you recommend?

I am not overly concerned with the 'New Age' label per se. Its the music itself I like and the spiritual aspect is what each of us want to make of it.

I don't really listen to anything that I'd call new age...I do like ambient music though. Right now I like Sigur Ros and Dead Can Dance.

Have you listened to Rasputina, Loreena McKennitt, Hayley Westenra, Zoe Keating, or Black Tape for a Blue Girl?

I also don't mind the music written by Clint Mansell, of Requiem of a Dream fame.

Some of them may not have the spiritual lyrics, but they have an ethereal, classical, feel to them which I like.

It might also be helpful to do a wikipedia search of the bands you really like or a genre, you can usually find a list of similar bands that way. I've done that in the past.

I'm not a big fan of new age music, but I always liked this one:

And this music written around an American Indian chant was also pretty cool:

I forget enigma; I love Enigma.

Thanks for the responses thus far, now off to check out your ideas on the net

The piano version of that was on "Pure Moods III." I'm not sure if Ryuichi Sakamoto really counts, but I love his music.

I'm not really a new age fan, but some of the stuff can be pretty good. Here's one of my favorites. Her music is honestly really weird but not all bad.
