Greatest New Age Hits Vol. I-II is a two-volume collection released between 1997 and 1998, presenting a rich panorama of New Age music through a carefully curated selection of renowned artists and evocative compositions. Together, the two volumes offer over two hours of meditative, cinematic, and emotionally stirring soundscapes that represent the essence of the genre during its peak in the late 20th century.

Volume I features iconic works from pioneers such as Mike Oldfield’s legendary “Tubular Bells (Opening Theme),” Vangelis’ triumphant “Chariots of Fire,” and Kitaro’s mystical “Reincarnation.” The inclusion of Enigma’s “Callas Went Away” and Enya’s dreamlike “Caribbean Blue” adds a layer of ethereal beauty, while Clannad and Sinead O’Connor bring a Celtic and vocal sensitivity to the otherwise instrumental-heavy tracklist. Gregor Theelen and Deuter offer deeply introspective pieces that gently transport listeners into ambient and nature-inspired realms.

Volume II continues the journey with equally compelling selections, beginning with Secret Garden’s serene “Nocturne” and the hauntingly beautiful “The Voice” by Eimear Quinn. Highlights include the melancholic “Theme from Twin Peaks” by Angelo Badalamenti, the rhythmic energy of Jean Michel Jarre’s “Oxygene 2,” and the mythic atmosphere of Loreena McKennitt’s “The Bonny Swans.” Tracks by Yanni, Medwyn Goodall, and Cusco further explore spiritual and global themes through rich instrumentation and layered textures.

This compilation is more than a collection of hits—it’s a timeless sonic tapestry that bridges East and West, tradition and modernity. Perfect for relaxation, introspection, or simply as a showcase of New Age excellence, Greatest New Age Hits Vol. I-II remains a beloved anthology for both longtime fans and newcomers to the genre.
