- I completely disagree with you. Back before the 'new age' label
- existed, I discovered Tangerine Dream, Jarre, Vangelis and Tomita
- because Sam Goody's had this tiny little section called
- 'electronic music'. I often buy CDs based on the section the're in,
- the types of instruments used, the producer, label etc. I discovered
- Patrick O'Hearn, Yanni, Giles Reaves and some others this way. Of
- course I also ended up with quite a few dogs. If anything, I'd
- like to see more categories like: Rythmic Electronic, Rock Without
- Vocals, Electronic Ambient, Electronic Symphonic, Harmonic Vocals
- Without Words, etc.
