The New Age Thread

Jordan de la Sierra - "Gymnosphere: Song of the Rose - Music for the Well-Tuned Piano" (1977)

The first of two releases from this Californian new age producer, this one being a 103-minute double-album comprised of four lengthy yet stunningly beautiful ambient piano pieces. I simply adore music that can put me into the most tranquil headspace imaginable & "Gymnosphere" achieves this consistently across it's run time, particularly through the two middle tracks which are really quite incredible. In fact, this may be my favourite new age release ever based on the evidence of this week's listening experiences.

For fans of Yutaka Hirose, G.S. Schray & Kevin Braheny Fortune.
