The label started as a lame imitation "new age" concern in the early '80s. It grew some to escape the beginning. I was so turned off by the beginnings I didn't follow. Sorry to see any label die.

Had no idea that you had a blog.

I've tried to get that "infinite scrolling"

script to work on my site to no avail.

It's a shame about New Albion, but

it would seem that the possibilities

still exist and they're unable or

unwilling to adapt. Some of those

releases are so old, that they could

conceivably be seen as introductions

for a new generation of listeners.

oh well...

They developed a very good catalogue and I'm sorry to hear this news.

Had no idea that you had a blog.

It started as a new home for old writing and I just keep adding stuff. I don't know how serious I am about it.

New Albion issued what is perhaps my favorite Anthony Braxton solo album, which I'm listening to now:

RIP. I found New Albion's catalog kind of uneven, but there are plenty of releases I enjoy and still own.
