Not sure if this is a common genre of music for folks or not, but since first hearing a Hearts of Space (The Absolute Sound) compilation in the mid 90's, I have had an affinity for it.

Artists include Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Steve Verity, etc.

Anyone else listen to this stuff?

I listening this genre since 1974 when see a Tangerine Dream album at the local disc shop.
It was Phaedra, I get into orbit w/this music.
The music of the Beatles is aged but the music of Tange is getting younger.
Thank you Edgar Froese RIP.

Dont know what tracks are in this TAS CD, but STM Steve Verity is New Age music and Steve Roach are Ambient Music.

Have not heard that TAS music, but my favorite space-type (drift) music is this one by Material, "Hallucination Engine", a Bill Laswell project:



Bootsy Collins is on here, and it even has a brief narrative by William Burroughs on one (the one non-spacey) track.

Holy crap! I just looked on Amazon and a used copy of this disc is going for $190!!. That is insane!!
mcgsxr - let me know if you'd like to hear this for WAY less than $190 ($190 less to be exact).

Yep.   Also visit BandCamp as they have a lot of "space" music.

Try Steven Halpern, Patrick O'Hearn, William Orbit, to name a couple others.

Very nice Jazz Rock, at YT there is some tracks from this album.
Good bass and drums.

National Public Radio used to have (might still have?) a program called Hearts of Space.  Ambient, space music, whatever you call it.  For awhile I listened eagerly, but eventually it was all a drone and I lost interest.

Check out the Space Station at Somafm.com

Not the best quality stream, but good for finding new music.

Double post

I am sure much of the music that I would consider similar may end up as New Age, Ambient etc, but the TAS cd was my intro, so Spacemusic stuck with me.

The track listing for the album in question from 1993 is here - http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-absolute-sound-mw0000057370

The Steve Verity cd I own is "Timestar" and it has some cool, odd, spatial effects to it.

Thanks for the other, related albums guys, I have some digging to do!

Wow SlushPuppy! Not sure how I ended up with the $190 search there: http://www.amazon.com/Hallucination-Engine-Bill-Laswell/dp/B000E1C9RM/ref=sr_1_52?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1433335777&sr=1-52&keywords=bernie+worrell

Crazy! 

Thanks for the more reasonable cost link
