You betcha! I listen to genres in patches over time...have been in a strong jazz phase for past two years, but have recently added a lot of early Tangerine Dream vinyl to my rotation/collection. I have a LOT of Windham Hill artists on CD and vinyl. Favorites include Liz Story, Phillip Aaberg, Philip Ackerman, Michael Hedges and George Winston. Got to meet George at a small concert a few years ago, what a positive human being he is. Right now, I'm deepening my appreciation of Electronica. I find all of these genres related, I find things across all of them that color and inform my appreciation as a whole.
Back in the early 80s, when I was in high school, I had an English teacher, every Thursday, pulled the curtains close, turned down the lights and played New Age music. He encouraged us to put our heads down on our desks, close our eyes, and free our minds. After about 30 minutes, he would stop the music, open the curtains, and have us write a paragraph or so on whatever is on our minds. I remember the two guys sitting in the next row over, always in their black Dio T-shirts, had quite a reaction when this was started. I think the music did win them over by the end of the quarter though.
Some of the best New Age music were released on Windham Hill (George Winston, Liz Story, Michael Hedges, etc.) and Private Music (Yanni, Patrick O'Hearn, etc.), before these labels were swallowed up by the big music companies.
Some pop/rock artists also create music in this genre. Dan Hartman, of "I Can Dream About You" and "Instant Replay" fame, released a New Age album on Private Music called "New Green Clear Blue" and it was excellent.
There's also an artist who used the name "The Fireman" for his output in this genre; otherwise he goes by the name of Paul McCartney. He used to have a band called the Beatles (some of you may have heard of them).
