New Age Music Quotes

I'd say that my musical influences are anywhere from pop-rock electronica, new age and classical. But I think that specifically, bands - I love Jem, I love Sigur Ross, I love David Gray, I love Elliot Smith... a lot of different people. But I don't find lyrical inspiration from anybody.

My parents used to play me this album when I couldn't go to sleep. It was called 'Deep Forest.' I think it was a self-titled record. It's actually still one of my favorite albums of all time.

Not only was it Def Leppard I was into when I was 15, but 'Watermark' by Enya. I loved it.

The new age disc jockeys and program directors have accepted me as a new age artist, along with Shadowfax and the rest, and they're playing my songs.

New Age music does something wonderful to the nervous system.

I love everything from Enya to Pantera.

I think as I get older, I'm just going to start making smooth, new age music - no joke.

Who doesn't love Enya? Whenever I'm in a trying time, she is the calm in the middle of the storm. If I put her on, I'll be in this crazy peaceful state. I love her style. And her harmonies are freaking genius.

George Winston piano albums have been my go-to since junior high.

I love British folk music, but I'm not obsessed with it. I love the Celtic stuff, and Enya is a favorite, but that's more electronic.

Enya was a huge deal for me. That kind of woman vocals and how wide those productions were.

For anyone who doesn't know his work, Andreas Vollenweider is a harpist who creates very atmospheric, new agey music that's totally beautiful.

I used to throw on soundtracks, and orchestral stuff would be the only thing I could write to, maybe 'Dead Can Dance' or 'Cocteau Twins' or something. Mostly, it was movies scores that would kind of inspire me.

When you hear 'Truth of Touch,' I believe you recognize that it is me; however it's not the typical Yanni album.

The trouble with New Age music is that there's no evil in it.
