I Am the Center: Private Issue New Age Music in America, 1950-1990

Recorded
1950-1990
Released

A new 21st century appreciation for what new age music could be rather than the stereotype that grabbed hold of it in the 1980s was further accelerated when Light in the Attic released this remarkable double-disc exploration of formative music in the field. Compiled by Yoga Records founder Douglas McGowan, it’s a carefully presented and annotated overview that returns such figures as William Burchette and Joanna Brouk to wider consideration about musical history from the era.
