New age is used to describe stuff like Enigma's Return to Innocence or Coldcut's Timber. To me, it makes sense to be able to differentiate between that and, say, Brian Eno's Music for Airports.  |
I cant find the article and the name of the editor that did the review I posted right at this minute, I will see if I can get his name & reason for suggesting new age later on today. The only reason I can think of why to use the label new age would be because of all of the other terms associated with ambient music.
disreet music
experimental music
background music
space music
mood music
& elevator music
subtypes of ambient music are:
dark ambient
ambient techno
& ambient trance.
