I like it too. In fact I just replayed it for the first time in ages to check my favourite track: number 7,
Pastorale, is really exquisite.
I`m glad that
Janszoon mentioned William Ackerman, whose style and record label are the twin signposts that ushered in New Age music, as far as I know,in the late '70's.
And while we were waiting for that to happen, what was there to listen to ? Well, John Fahey had a few kind of proto-New Age albums, like this one :
‪John Fahey - The Waltz That Carried Us Away And Then A Mosquito Came And Ate Up My Sweetheart (1971)‬‏ - YouTube
Other New Age pioneers included Vangelis, Eno and Tangerine Dream, though I`m sure I`m missing lots of others too. For instance, Steve Hillage, whose album
Rainbow Dome Musick was the first album I bought with an unmistakably New Age title.
