1	A Day Without Rain (2000) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Enya's first full-length album of new material in five years (and her fourth in 12 years) will have a familiar sound to the millions who have followed her career so far. As usual, the slow songs sound like "Silent Night" being performed in a cathedral, and the less slow songs are paced by rhythm patterns that would be called pizzicato passages if ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.79!
2	Watermark (1988) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Thanks to its distinct, downright catchy single "Orinoco Flow," which amusingly referenced both her record-company boss Rob Dickins and co-producer Ross Cullum in the lyrics, Enya's second album Watermark established her as the unexpected queen of gentle, Celtic-tinged new age music. To be sure, her success was as much due to marketing a niche ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.90!
3	Shepherd Moons (1991) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Calling Shepherd Moons a near carbon copy of Watermark puts it quite mildly. Like Watermark, Shepherd Moons opens with the title track, a calm instrumental, has another brief instrumental titled after a Dora Saint book smack in the middle ("No Holly for Miss Quinn"), and concludes with a number incorporating a striking uilleann pipes solo, ... see all copies from £1.24! new only from £7.40!
4	The Memory of Trees (1995) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist No surprises here, of course -- Enya didn't achieve new age superstardom by challenging anyone's expectations. This album is every bit as hushed, lovely, and soulless as everything else she's ever done; like a perfect angel food cake, it's sweet, soft, and utterly lacking in nutritive substance. There's nothing the matter with angel food cake, of ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.85!
5	Autumn (1980) more music like this by George Winston add to wishlist Winston's impressions of the fall season are full of slow chording and sudden melodic runs on his acoustic piano. He captures the mixed feelings of the season, both its final flaring of life and its gradual retreat. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.09!
6	The Celts (1987) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Initially released simply as Enya, The Celts shows that the style she became famous for on Watermark was already well under way. With production and lyrical help fully in place thanks to her husband-and-wife gurus Nicky and Roma Ryan, Enya's combination of Celtic traditionalism and distinctly modern approach finds lush flower here. All the ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £9.22!
7	In My Time (1993) more music like this by Yanni add to wishlist Yanni's latest is another extension of his creative spirit and stirring passion for life. Focusing on piano as his primary instrument, Yanni infuses his "signature" style with timeless, eloquent themes and plenty of romantic energy. No longer are rhythm and dynamic currents as vital to his sound, since he seems to have stopped fueling his music ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.50!
8	Deep Breakfast (1986) more music like this by Ray Lynch add to wishlist Ray Lynch's synthesizer playing sometimes approximates keyboard instruments and sometimes sounds like individually plucked strings on electrified string instruments, but always has a deeply textured melodic structure and a buoyant rhythmic underpinning. Isolated notes in series and patterns make a pointillistic mosaic of sound that alternately ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £7.45!
9	Pure Moods (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Originally advertised on television and then released to stores, Pure Moods could be subtitled "New Age's Greatest Hits." Certainly, it has everything that the mainstream pop audience could construe as new age -- atmospheric synthesizers, chants and haunting sonic textures. More importantly, it has all of the songs, from Enigma ("Return to ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £8.70!
10	Chakra Suite (2001) more music like this by Steven Halpern add to wishlist Chakra Suite is a reworking of Steven Halpern's debut CD, Spectrum Suite. He has added an ethereal texture to the original set to create an absolutely chilling effect. Halpern has a lot of people fooled; they try to write him off as new age fluff and a Muzak maker. Indeed, some of his more lightweight stuff deserves the brush-off. But when he's on ... see all copies from £8.80! new only from £8.80!
11	Destiny (1999) more music like this by Jim Brickman add to wishlist Anyone soul-stirred by the Cleveland native's 1997 breakthrough Picture This will find the simple, mood-enhancing pleasures of Destiny -- a rich, accomplished work with not one throwaway cut -- a similarly perfect soundtrack to the big romantic interlude in the midst of life's day to day chaos. While Brickman delves a bit more into up-tempo smooth ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £4.75!
12	Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya (1997) more music like this by Enya add to wishlist Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya is an excellent 16-song overview of Enya's career, containing 14 selections from The Celts, Watermark, Shepherd Moon, and The Memory of Trees -- including "Caribbean Blue," "Anywhere Is," "Marble Halls," "Book of Days," and, of course, "Orinoco Flow" -- as well as two previously unreleased songs ("Only If ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £9.87!
13	Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Featuring the languid, tropical sounds of the slack key guitar, Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 picks up where the best-selling first volume left off. This collection includes songs by artists like Keola Beamer, Sonny Chillingworth, Led Kaapana, Ray Kane, and Dennis Kamakahi. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.07! new only from £4.07!
14	Live at the Acropolis (1993) more music like this by Yanni add to wishlist It's no surprise that Yanni is most identified with this amazingly powerful experience (also presented as one of PBS' most popular concerts ever), because it seems like the musical project he was most destined to make. After making millions stateside, he returns to the historic ancient Acropolis of his Greek homeland to share his sweeping music ... see all copies from £2.48! new only from £5.50!
15	Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi (1996) more music like this by George Winston add to wishlist Combining the whimsical yet elegant compositions of Vince Guaraldi and the mellow, restrained playing of George Winston, Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi is a mostly happy marriage of the composer's and performer's styles. On much of the album, Winston tends to tone down the breeziness of Guaraldi's performances, opting for a gentler, ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £4.18!
16	By Heart: Piano Solos (1995) more music like this by Jim Brickman add to wishlist ...Brickman delivers an album filled with peaceful melodies that evoke romantic images and intimate feelings. He considers himself a pop songwriter, using piano-based instrumentals as a canvas, allowing him to connect with mainstream listeners on his sonic paintings of romantic longings. The song "On the Edge" features a duet with cellist Martin ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £3.09!
17	Forest (1994) more music like this by George Winston add to wishlist see all copies from £4.27! new only from £6.56!
18	Aerial Boundaries (1985) more music like this by Michael Hedges add to wishlist This is the finest album from Michael Hedges, the man who is responsible for the greatest revolution in solo acoustic guitar playing since Leo Kottke. There are moments on Aerial Boundaries where it seems literally impossible that so much music is coming from one man and his guitar. Attacking his instrument, snapping strings, banging on the ... see all copies from £4.64! new only from £6.09!
19	Reiki: Hands of Light (1999) more music like this by Deuter add to wishlist Of all the CDs designed to accompany the healing energy of Reiki, Reiki: Hands of Light, by Deuter, is one of the best, if not the best. That is no surprise, because Deuter always ascends to the top in whatever style he chooses. His releases are always diverse, with many different applications. This CD is perfect for use in the healing arts. It ... see all copies from £8.62! new only from £8.62!
20	Instrumental Moods (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Unlike its predecessors, Pure Moods and Celtic Moods, Instrumental Moods doesn't follow any specific style. Instead, it strings together a number of instrumentals from different genres, from new age (Enigma), reggae (Afro Celt Sound System) and worldbeat (Cusco) to rock (Eric Johnson, Santana), film scores (Ennio Morricone), pop (Vaness-Mae) and ... see all copies from £1.24! new only from £10.89!
21	Earth Spirit (1987) more music like this by R. Carlos Nakai add to wishlist R. Carlos Nakai has been at the forefront of Native American artists since the mid- to late '80s (around the time of release of this CD). On Earth Spirit, his acoustic reveries are direct and true. Each of the 15 compositions comes from Nakai's heart and goes to listeners' hearts. Two of the compositions are for the "eagle's bone whistle," the ... see all copies from £6.05! new only from £10.04!
22	Songs from a Secret Garden (1996) more music like this by Secret Garden add to wishlist Secret Garden is Norwegian composer Rolf Loveland (piano, keyboards) and Irish violinist Fionnula Sherry. The album, however, offers much more than this duo; it is awash in orchestral strings (real ones), a choir (real one), and as many percussionists, harps, fiddles, keyboards, and whistles as are needed. Songs from a Secret Garden, a chart ... see all copies from £3.76! new only from £10.42!
23	Plains (1999) more music like this by George Winston add to wishlist Like 1994's Forest, George Winston's 2000 album Plains is inspired by the subtle beauty of America's landscapes. Pieces like "Dubuque" and "Muliwai" evoke regions as diverse as Montana's fields and Hawaiian shores, but Winston's distinctive piano stylings unite the songs into a cohesive vision. Though his interpretation of Sammy Cahn's "Teach Me ... see all copies from £3.69! new only from £4.05!
24	Montréal (2004) more music like this by Jesse Cook add to wishlist Although this bold and dynamic acoustic guitar giant's stock in trade is the hybrid of rhumba flamenco, he's electrified smooth jazz audiences everywhere with one of the best live shows in any instrumental based genre. What could be more exciting than a whole hour of his trademark hits and other exotic classics performed in front of an audience in ... see all copies from £6.79! new only from £8.71!
25	The Very Best of James Galway (2002) more music like this by James Galway add to wishlist RCA Victor's 2002 The Very Best of James Galway is a comprehensive overview of James Galway's prolific career, touching not only on his easy listening pop crossover tunes, but his classical pieces. In fact, it does something very clever: it devotes a disc, a full half of the collection, to his classical works, with the second disc to his smooth, ... see all copies from £7.40! new only from £7.72!
