In March of 1986, I was a senior in high school, mostly listened to hard rock. One Sunday night I was flipping through radio stations, and I came across a program intro for "Music from the Hearts of Space". Had never heard of it, so I listened in, and this was one of the songs they played, and I was mesmerized. So began a lifetime of loving New Age style music. :)
This album is so incredibly beautiful and full of imagination. I was listening to this stuff as a kid because of my older brothers influence instilled in me way back then.
koji kondo must have been inspired by genesis. "zelda's lullaby" is shining right though here, and "the great fairy theme/save select screen" sounds exactly like the end of "watcher of the skies". i heard he was heavily influenced by ELP too
My mom caught valley fever years ago and now she's having tumors in her lungs and everywhere. She's tried radiation and chemo but they keep returning. Doctors haven't given her many options left. I'm very sad.......... but then, I go back and listen to some of Steve's stuff and what pops out is a notion to be positive and appreciate life, art and music! His music hits the soul! Thanks for your music Steve!! Healing in Arizona..............
My Wife passed away a little over a month ago and this music is so therapeutic for me - it weaves a magic spell that heals my soul and I know my wifes spirit can hear and feel it too - Peace/ shanti om
