Released in 1995 by Good Will Music, The Best of New Age with John Kerr – Bonus CD is a magnificent 3-CD compilation that brings together some of the most evocative voices in the New Age and instrumental music scene. With over three hours of soothing, cinematic, and atmospheric compositions, this collection is a spiritual retreat for the senses.

CD1 presents a well-balanced blend of artists such as Janus, Nova, Mike Rowland, and Deuter. The mood is serene yet explorative, with highlights like John Kerr’s “As Ships in the Night” and Blonker’s “The Tree of Life” inviting listeners into expansive inner landscapes. The inclusion of ambient sax, forest echoes, and cosmic synth textures provides a rich auditory palette.

CD2 continues the journey with iconic names like Cusco, Rick Wakeman, Aeoliah, and Peru. “The Conquest of Paradise” by Star Inc sets a majestic tone, while “Chrystal Illumination” by Aeoliah and “Montezuma” by Cusco offer world-music influences layered with mysticism. The variety of instrumentation and stylistic fusion—from soft orchestral moods to electronic rhythms—makes this disc especially dynamic and cinematic.

CD3 is exclusively dedicated to the works of John Kerr, serving as both a tribute and a deep dive into his signature style. Tracks like “Spring of Eternal Youth,” “The Wizard of Santvliet,” and “Life Eternal” reflect Kerr’s talent for blending romantic piano melodies with ambient landscapes. Each piece flows with emotion, introspection, and an almost storytelling quality that distinguishes his compositions in the genre.

Altogether, this collection is a perfect entry point for New Age newcomers and a treasured gem for seasoned listeners. It is meditative, uplifting, and timeless—music for dreaming, healing, and inner peace.
