RE: An A-Z of New Age artists - Ruby - 01-12-2024
Well here’s someone who marches to the beat of his very own drum, or should I say his multiple synthesizers. Tim Blake was involved with Gong, way back in the day, as well as Hawkwind. He’s also collaborated with Patrice Warrener who is a light show specialist. Space rock, in a word (or two!) – kind of - reminds me of someone else and I can't quite pin it down - there’s something very appealing about his work, I find. Maybe because I quite like people who are a little bit extraordinary, to be polite. LOL! Oh, and the other thing – we share a birthdate – a fellow airy fairy Aquarian weirdo.
The music might be somewhat off the beaten track, but I think he knows what he’s doing. He believes in it, for one thing, which goes a long way! Interesting stuff. I’m somewhat put in mind of Pete Bardens’ solo work although this is more sophisticated, I’d say. He’s on my radar now. I liked his Tide of the Century album cover (the concept, at least), so I listened to that, as well as meandering through some of his other work. The two examples I am picking are “Tonight” from Magick …
and the title track from Tide of the Century ...

Time to pick up this poor neglected thread again or it will never be completed! Next up on the list is Moya Brennan - also known as Máire Brennan. She was the vocalist for the well known Celtic/Irish band Clannad which was comprised of her siblings and a couple of their uncles, primarily. Moya is the oldest of nine and Enya is her sister. She has released a slew of solo albums and collaborated with a host of other artists and seems to be a lady with a philanthropic bent and a feeling for nature conservation - who can argue with that? Rather an overwhelming catalogue to pick a listen from! I chose Perfect Time. There's only so much of this type of music I can listen to, in measured doses, but I did like the title track very much ...
Alans Parsons isn't exactly 'New Age' but I'm including this for the helluvit anyway because she's the vocalist here ...

^^
your first linked track was nice, the second is apparently "unavailable in your (my) country"
i also checked Wiki, had no idea Clannad had released so many albums after Enya departed.
Ms Brennan has a lovely voice, thanks
