About new age
Enya, Vangelis, Kitaro and Jean-Michel Jarre gave new age its shape in the 1980s, and it now overlaps with ambient, meditation and sleep music. Ambient radio, calming radio and radio to fall asleep to go further.
A little history
New age became a genre in the 1980s, when labels such as Windham Hill made gentle acoustic and piano records a category of their own, and the Grammys added a New Age award later in the decade. Its best-known radio home is Hearts of Space, which began on Berkeley's KPFA in 1973 and went national on American public radio in 1983.
