Introduction

I have compiled a file with the complete discographies of over 600 new age and electronic music artists. For each artist the discography lists all of her/his recordings (under her/his name) with the date of release and a personal rating from * to ***** (***** meaning excellent).
It might also be useful for people who want suggestions on where to start.

This discography was originally compiled for the new edition of my book on new age, electronic, ambient and panethnic music, which came out in Italy in 1996. Each entry had a bio and critical analysis plus a discography. What you find here is only the discography (the rating in the discography summarizes the analysis).

Ambient music is covered only to some extent.

Special Lists:

• Five-star albums
• Recommended albums (all 4-and 5-star albums, comprising a basic collection)
• Music magazines
• Addresses of record company labels
• Relevant web sites (stores, archives, artists, etc)

• Please let me know if you find mistakes or omissions
• Please let me know if you think I should include other artists
• Opinions on ratings are also welcome
• Feel free to distribute, circulate, store in a server, whatever
• I'll be glad to be solicited by artists or labels whom I have overlooked
• I'd like to know about magazines that cover newage and/or electronic music

Thanks to all the people who provided information.
