Hi.
From time to time people ask for recommendations for new artists or groups to listen to in terms of beautiful spiritual uplifting music. And whilst many people have heard of the more mainstream artists such as Enya, Yanni, Kitaro, Secret Garden and Medwyn Goodall etc i thought i should start a new post whereby you can add your favourite "spiritual" or "new age" or "uplifting music" here so that others could check out some new artists and benefit from that.
Some of my favourites in no particular order are:
2002 : beautifully melodic new agey music
Aeoliah : music as if composed by the Angels
Scott Huckabay: this guy "channels" guitar and is often called the Trance Guitarist
Armik : flamenco guitar music with accompanying instruments - very happy, and upbeat and an amazing guitarist - guaranteed to make you feel good
Oliver Shanti and Friends - especially his Tai Chi Too album.
Medwyn Goodall - many albums but i like Way of the Dolphin and Way of the Ocean
Deva Premal - one of the most beautiful female vocalists singing mostly Mantras in Sanskrit - very powerful and meditative!
Amethystium - upbeat new age sounds
Libera - young boys choir - absolutely heavenly - highly recommend them, will give you goosebumps!
Cantamus - a female version of Libera sort of - see above.
Lesiem - if you like a modern, Western and up-tempo CD of Monks singing that actually is great to listen to then this is one of the best male monk choir groups around.
Raphael - beautiful, gentle music
Nicholas Gunn - great modern Native American Indian influenced music.
Keiko Matsui - a Japanese piano player whose music is a combo of piano, jazz, new age etc but her stuff is very upbeat and the perfect background sounds that re very interesting and yet that you know nearly everyone will enjoy. Recommended.
Asha - male singer, often with guitar and syth etc...etc....very beautiful lyrics and songs!
Well, there's just a handful of mine, please add your own and let's learn about some great new musical artists from one another!
Bright Blessings!

The Amorphous Androgynous are a fave of mine atm. And so is Scott Matthews! And always Moloko, any kind of trance music and house music from the late 80's up until the late 90's.

About people talking about me without my knowledge......or say it's thought, so I have my little black book out and I'm making notes of names, dates and what was said, revenge is a dish best served cold.
I was just joking with Soul in chains and am happy the joke was understood!
Still want to challenge me to that duel? We can test your razor sharp intellect & lightning responses. lol.
Mechanical time has already collapsed and is obsolete, even the atomic clocks are not accurate anymore and have to be constantly adjusted.............system failure or matrix implosion is imminent indeed.
I think they'll feel more than a little lost cos the economy is headed down the same route as time...collapsing.
I think a few bombs are in order to bring in the new age....."love" bombs that is! c'mon everyone enjoys a good bang now and then lol.
Florence and the machine, there's a lot of life in her music.
Also lots of soundtracks, they make my imagination run! My favorite composers are Clint Mansell, Yann Tiersen and Hans Zimmer.
