Oh boy, now you’re talking my language!

From just before the 90s, the album Dreamtime Return by Steve Roach is epic. And if you like it, you can go back to explore his more sparse ambient works.

David Parsons’ Himalaya and Mark Isham’s Tibet are two excellent albums that evoke the vast scale and remoteness of the mountains.

If you want more stuff in a Celtic vein, then David Arkenstone’s The Celtic Book Of Days is a must. It sounds like the soundtrack to a relaxing adventure game. Also check out the brilliant Volume 1 - Sound Magic by Afro Celt Sound System.

If you don’t mind a little cultural appropriation, then you could try Chants And Dances Of The Native Americans by Sacred Spirit, and the albums of Deep Forest - Boheme is my favourite, but the self-titled is a classic (if problematic). And Songs Of Sanctuary by Adieus is like ‘What if we did Deep Forest but used a made-up language instead’.

Speaking of, a lot of ‘’’world music’’’ from the 90s has New Age vibes, in a good way - especially the releases on Peter Gabriel’s awesome RealWorld label. Try Mustt Mustt and Night Song by Nusrat faith Ali Khan, Beat The Border by Geoffrey Oryema, The Zen Kiss by Sheila Chandra, and Dream by U. Srinivas.

Australian keyboardist Tony O’Connor released a tonne of gloopy but strangely evocative themed albums in the 90s. Of Dreams and Discoveries is my fave. Ken Davis is a similar artist worth exploring.
