New Age

The soundtrack to the Marin County, CA hot-tub scene circa 1980, and beyond…

  • Steve Halpern - Christening for Listening Steve Halpern - Christening for Listening

    Kind of a confusing record ’cause there are two nearly identical versions, but one is missing the best track “Something For Every-Body Suite”. For the most part though, both versions are almost identical to Halpern’s classic “Spectrum Suite”, which can surely be found in a dollar bin near you.

  • Craig Kupka - Crystals Craig Kupka - Crystals

    Follow up to his “Clouds” lp. Same deal here - music intended to be played in old folks homes & drug rehab clinics. This one is all echoed out trombones, or at least one whole side is. I like Clouds a bit better, but this one is still very, very cool.

  • Seastones - s/t Seastones - s/t

    Electronic ambient album featuring Phil Lesh, Jerry Garcia, David Crosby and Grace Slick. This album is so mellow I usually drift off and fall asleep half way through. And I mean that in a good way. This record is a trip.

  • Craig Kupka - Clouds Craig Kupka - Clouds

    First of all, I’d just like to say that I celebrate this dude’s entire catalog. But, this may very well be my favorite. I believe I onced described this to a friend as Brian Eno meets spiritual jazz.
