New Agers and ambient connoisseurs rarely see eye to eye. Though both audiences seek a similar sensorial ideal, most albums are either too unsettled and dissonant for the one or too dilute and cloying for the other. Tangerine Dream splits the difference between the opposing factions. The visionary German project essentially sired both sets. TD's earliest incarnations were first into the ambient pool; their seminal albums dense with hair-raisingly abstract electronic atmospheres. Later TD, wooed by Hollywood and subdued by constant personnel changes, won the hearts of the upwardly mobile with its sprawling amalgamation of jazz, world-beat, post-'70s psychedelic rock throb, and airy synthetic drift.

Both phases of Tangerine Dream have group anchor Edgar Froese in common, and Froese's parallel solo career has satisfied adherents on either side of the fence. AQUA, his first solo album, predates Tangerine Dream's breakthrough album, 1974's PHAEDRA. Recorded using revolutionary binaural sound techniques, AQUA sweetens Froese's uncompromising experimentation with the crowd-pleasing sleight of "head music." Over four extended passages, electronics burble, shimmer, surge, swoop and speaker-pan in hazily melodic and nebulous shapes. AQUA is the consummate headphone album, a crafty, cosmic stereophonic delight guaranteed to captivate all open minds.

4 stars Edgar Froese fans
If your an Edgar Froese or Tangerine Dream fan, then you will no doubt enjoy various aspects of this album. Sitting back with headphones on and eyes closed, one could escape the realities of every day life for a moment. Personally not my favorite album by Edgar (Stuntman is my favorite), but I will still listen to it many more times.

5 stars Off to a great start
Musically, 1974 was quite a year for early Tangerine Dream fans. Along with TD's release of Phaedra, Edgar Froese (TD's one constant member) released his first solo album. A fantastic debut. Four tracks ranging from 6 1/2 to about 17 minutes in length, this music ranges from dreamy to downright eerie with plenty of unique sounds for your stereo or surround system to chew on. The sound-effects, like rippling water and jets only add to the moods. This is one of those CD's that you can put on and just let the music pass through you. I liked the two longer tracks best, but all four tracks are interesting and imaginitive.

Very Best Of Enya CD  (2009)

Aqua album
CD $14.24  SALE Top 100
Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. Luckily, the trio seems enamored by most of the same songs that the general public is, resulting in one of those rare "greatest-hits" collections that goes deep without depriving the listener of the essentials. With tunes like "Orinoco Flow," "Caribbean Blue," and "Book of Days" in the pot and out of the way, it's easier to appreciate hidden gems like "Cursum Perficio," "Boadicea," "Trains and Winter ...

Enya And Winter Came CD  (2008)

Aqua CD music
CD $11.85  3.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Unlike Enya's 2006 EP, CHRISTMAS SECRETS, with which it shares no tracks, AND WINTER CAME is not a traditional Christmas album. It's more impressionistic than most, placing a handful of Christmas songs such as "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" in the midst of a shimmering soundscape of keyboards, strings, and Enya's trademark overdubbed vocal chorales. The mostly original material does an exceptional job of evoking a comforting ...

Enya Celts CD  (1987)

CD $11.95  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
THE CELTS is the 1992 re-release of a 1987 album simply titled ENYA, containing 15 selections originally composed for a BBC series of the same name. Although a number of the tracks sound dated, several others, including "To Go Beyond (II)" are notable for how they locate the origins of the classic Enya sound, far removed from earlier Celtic efforts. A tidy, dreamlike piece, "Epona," is about the Horse Goddess, closely connected to Rhiannon, whose birds are said to awaken ...

Kevin Kern Embracing The Wind CD  (2001)

Aqua CD music
CD $13.09  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
As far as new age pianists go, Kevin Kern is far less known than either Jim Brickman or David Lanz, but his lush, melodic meditations fall somewhere in between the music of those two. It's far less direct and poppy than Brickman, and slightly less dramatic and conceptual than Lanz. The concept here was for label owner Terence Yallop to offer images to Kern in the studio, which Kern would then develop into full-fledged impressionistic pieces. Kern calls it an interchange of ideas featuring external and internal stimuli. Whatever their source, these are simply beautiful pieces perfect for dreaming, meditating, or stress relief. "Blossom on the Wind" opens the disc on a brooding, haunting note, with gentle orchestration sweeping the listener into a dreamscape. "Through Your Eyes" has more of a pop/classical flavor, catchy and bright from the middle register. "Childhood Remembered" is (like the opening track) more sparse and features a chamber music flavor. Many of these tunes sound like soft and caressing film score pieces in search of the images Kern no doubt dares the listener to create. One nearest and dearest to his heart is the sweet solo ballad "From This Day Forward," a piece enhanced by soft strings which is dedicated to his fiancé Pam. "A Secret Grove" has a similar feeling, enhanced by the balmy breeze of the acoustic guitar. The genre of new age music ...

K C & The Sunshine Band 25th Anniversary Edition CDs  (1999)

Aqua songs
CD $16.19  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In 1999, Rhino celebrated the 25th anniversary of KC & the Sunshine Band's formation with this two-CD anthology. But technically, 1999 was their 26th anniversary -- the soul/funk/disco band was formed in 1973, not 1974. For the casual listener and the budget-minded, a better and more concise choice would be Rhino's 1990 CD The Best of KC & the Sunshine Band, which summarizes their contributions with 16 tracks. But if your interest in KC goes beyond casual, 25th Anniversary Collection isn't a bad release to have. The set contains all of the essential '70s hits offered on The Best of KC & the Sunshine Band, including "Get Down Tonight," "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty," "That's The Way (I Like It)," "I'm Your Boogie Man," and "Keep It Comin' Love," as well as "Wrap Your Arms Around Me," "I Like To Do It," and the ballad "Please Don't Go." But 25th Anniversary Collection also has its share of material that is enjoyable though less than essential -- you need to be a seasoned, diehard KC fanatic to fully appreciate the Spanish-language version of "Please Don't Go" (titled "Por Favor, No Te Vayas"), Tom Moulton's 1994 remix of "Get Down Tonight," or KC and Teri DeSario's 1980 cover of Martha & the Vandellas' "Dancin' in the Streets." And if you're that much of a collector, you'll appreciate Brian Chin's comprehensive, informative liner notes -- the writer has no problem articulating why KC's music was so popular in the '70s and why his classic grooves excited many hip-hop, dance-pop and house enthusiasts in the '90s. Rock critics might have dismissed KC in the '70s, but time has made it clear that KC's admirers -- not the critics who gave him scathing reviews -- were the smart ones. ~ Alex Henderson KC & The Sunshine Band includes: Harry Wayne Casey (vocals, keyboards); Anthony Battaglia (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Gary King (vocals, bass); Jerome Smith, Tommy Johnson, ...
