Music from the Hearts of Space
It's
utterly without tension, reliably tonal and melodic, and wouldn't hurt a
fly. Yet New Age music has been the subject of decades of casual
ridicule. Originally a grassroots phenomenon with a do-it-yourself creative
ethic made possible by the home studio movement, after a period of
mainstream success in the 1980s it retreated to serving its core
audience. Despite the criticism, New Age remained a popular niche,
showing that a therapeutic music for relaxation, meditation, virtual
travel and alternative forms of spirituality had become something of a
psychological necessity in high-intensity modern life.

Yes, I always enjoy an occasional blast of Sieges Even/ Subsignal..
still find their music hard to satisfactorily classify in terms of PA's categories, though...

they are under neo-prog, strangely, progressive metal fits them better if you ask me.

Soft Machine - Softs. I've not listened to much Soft Machine before, but this was an enjoyable mix of funkiness, amazing John Etheridge guitar work, and some very nice melodies.
