Sometimes I wonder how the people who are making their music feel about being lumped in under the cover of "New-Age artist" if what they do is just music that can't be exactly categorized. Makes them sound like they're orphans of the musical world or something. I got a kick seeing Phil Coulter, the Irish pop composer, on a New-Age list. He might have no problem with this, maybe he doesn't even care but I have to believe some artists don't like the Billboard appellation of New-age. Some of the music is ok but some of it is really off the planet too. Rich [I've read many an interview where new age artists expressed either regret or dismay at the catagorization, primarily because they feel it limits their audience. It should be noted tha many contemporary classical composers feel the same with respect to various labels on their music. -Dave]
