Love Me, Love My Angel

... Or at least you might say after listening to this 1985 release.

The music of Aeoliah has a charming characteristic being tranquil but not boring. This is a big plus in my opinion.


There are two selections, originally corresponding to two cassette sides.
01. Devotion (23:40)
02. Celestial Sanctity (21:36)

THIS LINK GOOD FOR SEVEN DAYS


PERMANENT LINK

See you on Monday for the commencement of 2024's JULY SPOCKEBRATION!

I'll Whisper 'Till You Fall Asleep

Here's another interesting offering from the Madacy recording bunch. Perhaps only interesting briefly, but let's take what we can get.


THIS LINK GOOD FOR SEVEN DAYS!

PERMANENT LINK

You may find this a sleepfest, or it might calm you to the peaceful level you need.  See you Thursday, if you wake up by then!

Wave Now, Astro!

One day early because tomorrow is the prep day for Soonercon 32!

Yup, a world of sensual sound!

It's one semi-glorious track.  I was bemused to see the CD text (image included in file) which appeared when trying to rip this generic disc of background-music-type tripe.  Don’t ask me what the album title refers to -- probably NOT cement mix!

You Are Now Getting Very Peaceful ...

It's a 1987 cassette.
01. Riverroad (5:00)
02. Soaring (1:08)
03. Eve (5:00)
04. Avalon (3:35)
05. Winter Suite (9:51)
06. Himalayan Hiway (7:14)
07. Sailing Free (5:46)
08. Childsplay (0:47)
09. Speak with Angels (6:12)
10. Healing Touch (1:35)
11. Thanksgiving Passage (3:59)


It wants to be dreamy and/or perky, but it lives up to its album title by ultimately making you feel sleepy.


See you Thursday!

A Stirring Voyage

This 1986 LP is a winner all the way, IMO.

1   Wunjo (Joy)  4:40  
2   Sowelu (Wholeness)  19:16  
3   Uruz (Strength)  5:29  
4   Eihwaz (Defense) / Kano (Opening)  8:43  
5   Odin (The Unknowable)  19:01


I really like this one, even if saying the title out loud makes me think it's a game played at a bachelor party.

See ya Monday with something more from the New Age!

Echoes of Yawn



For a bit we'll be encountering some New Age music, some fine, some not so much.


01. Celestial Echoes (20:50) 
02. Celestial Echoes 2 (20:30)


Sorry to disappoint you, but these Celestial Echoes might resonate you into slumber.

When you awaken, let me know what you think, or dreamt!  See you Thursday.
