New Age Music similar to Ronan Hardiman.
-
Yo,
any of u know ronan hardiman (he's a music composer)...
anyway was at parkway just now and wanted to get something similar to his type of music, mainly piano/syth base with percussion and stuff.
nothing to "pure" piano, more like a piano with supporting elements?
damn i suck at describing music...
-
sorry dude.. i'm lost...
ask me about rock music.. i'll help
-
eerrr...
can try David Lanz..... -
U might wanna try do a search in Amazon.com. That is, search the Ronan Hardiman cds in amazon and click to see the section where they say "Customers who bought this title also bought:" or "What similar items do customers ultimately buy after viewing this item?".
That will probably give you some leads.
BTW, here's the search:

A Ronan Hardiman fan??!!! And just when I thought I was the only one in Singapore!
I'm a huge huge fan of his!
Bought his first CD when it was released a long while back. I think he's only released two CD's so far?
Can't think of anyone else who's similar to him right now. He's really in a category of his own. -
OK, one group suddenly came to mind - Hiroshima.
Their music isn't quite like Ronan's because well, Ronan's too unique. They incorporate Japanese / Asian instruments in their music and it does sound pretty exotic, yet, modern.
Are you turning up at MM's this Saturday? If so, I can initiate you to Hiroshima! -
yeah ronan's got two so far.. i got both. ahah
his music is FUCKING AWESOME.. knn i wanna buy more also dun have.. puiZ
FI and base, ok will try them out esp ur suggestion base.. ahhaha -
Dunno about you, but I enjoyed 'Solas', his 1st album, much more than his 2nd one, 'Anthem'.
-
oh yes.. those are the names.. ahaha i never quite see the names on the CD much.. just pop them in and play. actually long time no play liow have to dig it out again.Originally posted by Rhonda:Dunno about you, but I enjoyed 'Solas', his 1st album, much more than his 2nd one, 'Anthem'.
yeah i think u're right the first one is better. but both are happening still ehhehe. -
You might want to try the Compilation CD - 'Moods, An Inspirational Journey'.Originally posted by jOhO:oh yes.. those are the names.. ahaha i never quite see the names on the CD much.. just pop them in and play. actually long time no play liow have to dig it out again.
yeah i think u're right the first one is better. but both are happening still ehhehe. It was released slightly over a year back. A locally-compiled release.

Yup!Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:That CD, think it tilts towards the Oriental feel ya? I didn't know it's locally-compiled release... quite a gd one. And they've chosen quite a number of big names in the New Age / Ambient / Jazz Fusion scene too! Was mighty pleased to see that CD!
Gee, didn't know you liked such music too!
-
Y'know, Baseline, if you liked the jazzy, modern pieces with Oriental influences, you'd like the Buddha Bar series.

Seriously, I like any music that's honey to me ears. When it comes to music listening, it depends on my mood. If I feel like abit of jiggy, progressive hse will do nicely. In the mood for relaxation, can anything from nu jazz/lounge/downtempo.
That Moods cd you mentioned.. I heard some of the songs and I tell ya, I can almost smell the aroma of incense sticks. It really sets in the mood. -

I guess when it comes to music, I'm pretty much mood-driven too. Sometimes, it's Jazz, other times, it's R&B. The only genre I guess I've never ventured into would be Heavy Metal. -

The HR people in my former workplace liked my CD so much, they kept borrowing it for their functions & what-nots
jOhO: I like the music selection at That CD Shop (Tanglin mall & Great World City). Maybe u can ask the staff there to recommend a few titles? -

It used to be that way when my favourite sales assistant worked there, at the Great World City branch. She was amazing!! She enjoyed all types of music and knows a lot about every genre I'll throw her way!! We used to amaze each other with what we both knew! I'll go mention some waaaaaay out, relatively unknown artiste (well, unknown to most locals, anyways) like 'Silk' or 'Vince Gill', and she'd go, 'Oh wow!! You know them too?!'
She quit her job due to a leg injury.
No one else could fill the void she left behind - she was truly an amazing music-lover!
I went down to That CD Shop's branch in Pacific Plaza a few months back and told them that I'm looking for this famous New Age Artiste under the Narada label and they go, 'Na-what??'
I was
... you don't sell New Age without knowing about Narada!! That's like... sacrilegious!! -
