World and New Age Music Reviews

By Kathryn Sargent

Simirillion, by Chip Wilson, is an upbeat musical soundscape that would be the perfect background music for any office environment. It has an energy that would bolster both a peaceful atmosphere, productivity and creativity. Trained in classical guitar, and self-taught on piano, Wilson has played jazz and pop in various New York ensembles. Simirillion is a combination of electronic and acoustic, with a liquid flow to it. It's cheerful and calming, a refreshing soundworld to compliment your own.

For the best buy of the month category, I've selected Pure Moods IV, which is a collection of some of the most popular New Age artists. On this CD, you can hear Enigma, Yanni, George Winston, Sarah McLachlan, B-Tribe, Paul Schwartz, Jim Brickman, Govi, Secret Garden, Mythos, Delerium, Yann Tierson, Craig Armstrong, Moby, and the Afro Celt Soundsystem in cuts from each's albums. All sorts of moods and colors, voices and instrumentation  for you to choose. Use this CD to zero in on your favorites, then go out and buy THEIR CDs. Or, use this as a party sound mix. Either way, you can't lose.
