    The Order Of Orpheus

    The Order Of Orpheus

    A 1977 record channeling ‘A trip through the planes from the throne of god’, this is not your typical blissed-out private press new age trip. Instead it’s a far more interesting mix of acoustic 1970′s new age music with improvisational group playing that reminds me of AMM or Harry Partch at times, with the end [...]

  • William Eaton – music by

    The only info on this one is that it was released in 1978. No liner notes, no record label, just a beautiful handmade looking sleeve, the design on the cover appears to have been done with a magic marker. If I was asked what the record sounds like I’d have to say it sounds somewhat [...]

  • Pauline Anna Strom – Trans-Millenia Consort

    Wow, here’s a new discovery for me. Pauline released this album in 1982. Every track on here is nice and mellow and spacy. Despite being blind, Pauline manages to channel Eno in every track making this one of my favorite new age albums. My favorite track on here is “gossamer silk”, sublime stuff. [Audio clip: [...]

  • Master Wilburn Burchette’s – psychic meditation music

    This record consists of two 18 minute cosmic new age tracks entitled “yin” and “yang”. From the liner notes: Observe and become aware of the music as a flow of pure feeling. Allow the music to touch you so that you may feel and become aware. Let it penetrate to your psychic self. DO NOT [...]

  • 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

    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

    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

    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 once described this to a friend as Brian Eno meets spiritual jazz. Released on Folkways in 1981 or so, this along with it’s sister album “Crystals” was intended as [...]
