5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best works I have ever heard., August 6, 1998

Deeply relaxing and richly harmonic, Planetary Chronicles is one of the best examples of New Age music.

Jonn Serrie is a composer with a vision, and that vision is SPACE: the awesome majesty and mystery of the cosmos. This album has not only defined what deep space music is, and what it must be, but it has set the standard very high indeed. All of the tracks on this album are memorable, but the best is surely the last one, On a Frontier of Fables. This piece is an extended excerpt from "Aniara", a production of the Bishop Planetarium in Bradenton, FL. Majestic, dark, and sweeping are just some of the words that describe this cosmic music from the depths of space and time. Be sure to turn off the lights when you listen to this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising and impressive, May 23, 2000

Well I have to say, this album was all I hoped it to be - dark, deep space music plus some nice sweet harmonies for balance. Jonn Serrie had let his imagination really flow on and on for this album. Considering the time of composition and recording, the production is surprisingly good and doesn't sound cheesy, like a lot of other mid-80's "New Age" recordings. If only this were scored in the later 90's, the production would be dazzling! Very enjoyable, and definitely recommended if what you want is to hear some flowing space music.
