Starting up another thread! If you've probably seen my other posts, you're probably familiar with the fact that I like to primarily listen to instrumental music. The topic of this thread will be New Age music!
I feel that New Age is a very underrated genre. I think the reason for this is all the stigma it gets as being associated with hippies, chakras, healing crystals, butchered science and mythology, and whatnot. But a lot of New Age artists don't subscribe to that nonsense, and there are many songs that are not ambience from weather, electronics, crystal bowls, or Tibetan monks chanting from their throats.
Here are some of my favorite New Age tracks to start up the tread:

Hey @Eclipse_31,
Great thread!
I've been a new age music fan since a teenager and indeed my first thought was of Enya's A Day Without Rain (2000). This is the album that introduced new age music to me back in the days.
I agree that prejudice about the new age genre should be omitted, since the genre offers a wide variety of aesthetical and expressional techniques and each artist is so to say unique and can't be duplicated in their style.
Here are some favorite tracks of mine:

Hello.
I have noticed Your topic. Unfortunately, there are many categorisations of New age music. Some artists are classified to this musical genres, althought they don't create true New age music.
One big example of true New age music is for example this:
https://open.spotify.com/album/0gPGjfVfXNDKheRSMJajyq?si=e2feTleMTFa40jeEu8gH6g
Or maybe this composition is true New age music:

I understand what you're saying.
It is true that it is very difficult to categorize the term New Age.
As an example, Pat Metheny's album "One Quiet Night" won a Grammy Award for Best Work of New Age Music in 2004.
It is an acoustic guitar album without African drums or synthesizer atmospheres or ancestral choirs.
I'm just trying to open my mind a bit with this category and make the playlist entertaining with different textures and artists.
Greetings.
