New Age Vibe

Dear Readers,
We are writing this letter personally to all of you. b5media has dropped some of its blogs from its network and unfortunately New Age Vibe is one among them. There is only a day left for us to write for you… This is a decision taken by b5media management and there is little that can be done about it. Since this came all of a sudden as a surprise to us, we are bit shocked (as you are) but nevertheless we want to keep in touch with you all.

We have started our own music blog site, Music Kafe (www.musickafe.com),

(overnight?? no… at all… this site was sleeping a year long, but now we have redesigned it and made it usable). At Music Kafe, we will continue discussing, reviewing and interviewing new age, world, ambient and instrumental music and musicians.

We expect your support to Music Kafe and keep up the healthy conversations via comments and email with us. Also, we intend to make Music Kafe much more than a blog. We want it to be a place where all artists can interact with their fans, give a promotional music track once in a while, share some interesting things in their life that as fans we want to know…

Currently, the site is in alpha stage… I wish everyone of you to put your comments on how Music Kafe feels like? The features that are supported are,

1. blog posts, (in the front page)
2. artists page (under construction)
3. band page (under construction)
4. Submit a music album for review form (under construction)
5. Suggest a music album for review(under construction)
6. album page with rating by users(under construction)
7. download section for promotional tracks(under construction)
8. Gallery for artists(under construction)
9. Fan club page (planned)

As you might notice, only the blog post is ready, but other features should be live in a week.

If you can drop us an email (newage.blogger@gmail.com) or comment here on any other features that you think cool for music kafe, we’d be very much thankful.

Thank you so much for your time,
We enjoyed writing for you,
see you @ musickafe.com

Take Care,

With Love,
Shankar & Mohanraj

Cinematic Piano – What’s it? If that name sounds uncommon, read on. Marc Enfroy is releasing his debut album Unbounded in the end of August 2008, in ‘Cinematic Piano’ style. I had the chance of listening to pre-release copy of the album and I’d say it’s a wonderful piece of art.
Marc is quite a new comer yet he takes you on for a pleasure ride like a maestro through his Unbounded. Composed of 12 tracks, the album feels like a fragrance of memories tuned to your memories. As Marc puts it on his video preview of his album, the …read more

Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars
Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Place a name upon the night
One …read more

 The music of Dimo Mitchev blends elements of Celtic, Renaissance and New Age styles using traditional classical instruments to create a sound at once soothing and evocative. His debut album “Bard’s Fly” is very well thought out in form, structure, character and an enchanting feature with each track that seemed to take you deeper and deeper into the world of the ancient celtic times – times of heroes and honour.

Primarily a composer, Dimo Mitchev developed a keen ear for the ethnical sounds of the world’s many musical styles, like mostly exposed to Medieval and Renaissance music.
These experiences, along with an …read more

Bethbetty was kind enough to update my post on Torben Thoger’s Akasha with his comments. The Present which was expected to be released in latter 2008 has been released and here you see a wonderful track, Primavera, from it accompanied by video.

Soft and soothing, this track speaks to my heart optimistically. Violin is melting with tunes and my heart.
This beautiful and catchy instrumental music is both relaxing and uplifting, with dynamic and meaningful undertones. Gentle guitars and violins accent this journey into a new universe of sound, an exciting expedition leading to a deeper experience of the senses. The Present …read more

Many weeks ago, I wrote my first post on Jillian Goldin’s Origins. To recall, RJ Lannan of New Age Reporter said “Where Enya Brennan left off, Jillian Goldin could make a good beginning.” and I, for one, wanted to listen to Goldin’s Origins and value its merit on my own. It’s time for it now.
Since when I got this album last week, I kept listening to it for I don’t want to take a quick sip and base my review on it. First, I like to thankful for the Goldin’s wonderful work of art. Having a taste for Wordsworth, …read more

“Music comes closest to meditation. Just beyond music is meditation: one step more and you are in meditation. And music is the most beautiful door. Listen to music so totally that the listener disappears in the listening, that there is only music and you are not, that you are an emptiness and the music fills you. There is no observer even, nobody to appreciate, to judge. Listen to music without judgement, without evaluation, and it will become your deepest meditation.”
Osho, Hallelujah! Chapter #31
If you ask me, if there is a choice between philosophy, religion, science, …read more

While I was hunting for new age music, I found this nice-to-share video from youtube that you may like for its slow paced soft music. I am sure you would love the humming of the female vocalist. Even after couple of minutes I happen to hear the eagle’s voice echoing my ears.
