the best songs ever: the lost years

[Eric the Green]

As I've said, the best music of the recent 3T came from the fringes, not mainstream American pop. Windham Hill was an acoustic, instrumental "new age music" label in the 1980s and 90s. Some of their music was too innocuous, but some was brilliant. This is one of the brilliant ones, from 1985. I used to play it on my radio show. I haven't heard it in a long while. I was reminded of it when it was used as the theme/credits for a documentary about a young environmentalist I saw yesterday. It has the real qualities of the life of nature, and our love for it. It is called Dolphins, by Mike Marshall and Darol Anger. Of course, it's not the only piece with that title that I love. The other one is from 1966, and I'll be posting it soon, you know where.
