Forget everything you think you know about New Age, a genre that has been the musical-archeological explorations of the last decade. "I Am The Center: Private Issue New Age In America, 1950-1990" is the first wide-ranging anthology to explore the golden age of the New Age and reveal the incredible truth about the genre. Would you have known that a track from the first self-pressed modern New Age album appeared on the "Blade Runner" soundtrack? The track is called "Pompeii, 76 AD" and of course it shows up here"I Am The Center is a knowledgeable and never cynical overview that ultimately leads the listener to the source of light for a misunderstood genre. Many of the biggest names are included - Lasos, the interdimensional facilitator of" paradise music "; Laraaji, discovered by Brian Eno as a street musician in Washington Square Park; and the recently risen to fame JD Emmanuel, the icon of the new generation of drone, ambient and noise musicians.With book including liner notes by Douglas McGowan with interviews of the artists and archive images. Artwork by Gilbert Williams and Janaia Donaldson. Two previously unreleased tracks plus seven tracks previously only released on cassette. The vinyl was cut by John Golden and pressed at RTO. "Sound created the universe. It wasn't the word. Sound created atoms; sound and light are the origin manifestations of the world. A musician links to that original, eternal sound; sound reveals itself as music." - Constance Demby
