Comment:

My original title for this was "I Can't Believe It's Not New Age", which of course was far too cynical for a CD that's supposed to conjure up the ghost of actual New Age valor. None of these songs or pieces come from actual New Age CDs, but they either easily could have, or at least steal inventively from the whole New Age sound or philosophy. The title is a lyric from the Paul Simon song that sums up what I'd say is the ideal audience for New Age music. (Track 10 ended with about a minute of silence for some indescernible reason, being the last track on its CD, and needed to be edited to be put somewhere other than at the end.)
