4 out of 5 stars More of the same if you like space music.......2007-07-11

Space music is never going to break any new ground; it is what it is and that's why people buy it. Serrie is one of the best at this genre. I don't know why you would need more than 2-3 space music albums but this one will do.

5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!.......2005-10-22

I never knew one could purchase such great music. I first bought this as a cassette and then the cd. It is the BEST cd I own. Whenever I listen to it I feel like I am in the ocean, not space. All the songs just fit perfectly with sea creatures swimming by and bubbles going up. Just great to go to sleep by.

5 out of 5 stars awesome cd.......2005-04-25

This music makes for great headphone listening...for falling asleep peacefully to meditation. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT CD.......2004-12-01

This CD is really amazing. If you like floating space music that is very relaxing, you'll love this CD. I bought this CD years ago and I never get tired of hearing it. I like to put it on and fall asleep listening to this incredible music. It's so peaceful and relaxing. It reminds me of my space music CD, "Scenes From a Nightmare" which I recorded back in 2002. Although, my music is a bit darker and a tad bit scary. But I like all types of spacey, floating music. "And The Stars Go With You" is one of the best I've heard.

5 out of 5 stars A classic.......2004-07-20

Jonn Serrie had already been composing music for planetarium shows for years, but the decision to begin recording albums changed his career. And The Stars Go With You was his first, originally released back in 1987, and it revolutionized the 'space music' trend and skyrocketed Serrie into ENA superstardom (that is, if he hadn't done so already). Now the album has only been made better with the addition of "And With You 2," a track that was obviously left off of the original printing, but is now, in my opinion, one of the best songs.

Serrie's is music you can just put on, lay back, and relax to. Let your mind go blank and get lost in the soundscapes. Play it all alone on a quiet night to get in the mood. Let moments like the gentle percussion on the second half of the titled track or the harmonies of songs like "And With You 2" and "Stratos" carry you away.

Some of the songs even sound like two or three-act musical dramas. Take "Fantasy Passages" for example. When this track begins, you can imagine yourself floating around lost helplessly in the darkest areas of space. When the music is occasionally broken up by deep, loud, rolling thunderous effects, after which the music slowly creeps back in, you can imagine falling into a black hole, then falling back out into the endless abyss (ok, I know it's not logical to fall out of a black hole, but you get the idea). Finally, as the song begins perhaps to lighten up a bit, with an echoing synth riff that repeats over and over again for the rest of the song, you can imagine your resolution - floating into the brighter areas of the universe, into places you know.

I guess I have nothing else to say except "just dream..." Put on this cd and let the stars go with you!

4 out of 5 stars Good for what it is - soothing.......2007-07-03

Serrie began his professional life scoring the music for planetarium shows. Even though there is no music in space (without an atmosphere, sound can't exist - it's like thinking that you can have waves without water), the premise here is that this music gives you a sense of the expanse of the universe and the movement of the spheres. This is new age music. I like it in small doses - the whooshing synthesizers as they crescendo and decrescendo - all of this can be very relaxing. It doesn't stand up to close examination though. Better to have this for when you want to nap or nod off.

5 out of 5 stars Very Soothing.......2007-01-10

This cd is definitely one of the best in the Space Music genre. I feel as though I am floating through space or admiring a view of the earth from the moon. I heartily recommend this cd for anyone who has trouble sleeping or who just wants to expand his/her mind.

1 out of 5 stars Celestial Heaven.......2007-01-10

I enjoy New Age music that can take my soul for a journey through the stars. This is one of my favorite CDs for relaxing.

5 out of 5 stars Elegant and Sublime.......2004-03-27

As a long time fan of Jonn Serrie, I am very happy that he has returned to his "roots" of cosmic space music after his brief sojourn into more "earthy" music that he did on Spirit Keeper, etc.

This premier artist of cosmic music that is used worldwide at Planetariums is reknown for his floating, ethereal music that allows one to dissolve into bliss as an instant fix for tension and stress particularly at the end of a teeth grinding day. On this CD, Jonn has created some of his most elegant and sublime music to date.

Favorites: #2 "Eye of the Beholder" is achingly gorgeous; #4 "Pan Galactic" is stunning and #5 "The Stars,like Dust" is like really being out there floating around the cosmos in an imaginary starship like Enterprise or Voyager. An amazing CD from an amazing artist who will always remain my #1 favorite of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Finally!! Jonn's back to his 'Space' music!!.......2004-02-19

In the tradition of Planetary Chronicles and 'And The Stars Go With You' this CD lets you imagine a journey through space, etc. Yeah - this CD sounds a lot like Planetary Chronicles - SO WHAT? Planetary Chronicles I & II are some of the best work. I was a little put off when Serrie branched off into the tribal sounds of Spirit Keepers and all the lovey crap in Midsummers Century and Ixlandia. However, even those 2 CD's were pretty good. Don't listen to the other review about this CD not breaking any new ground and that this CD sounds like his others. It's SPACE MUSIC - how much NEW ground can you really break in this genre?? The music either sounds all spacey and junk or it doesn't. Bottom line if you LIKE Jonn Serrie's previous "space" music then you will LOVE this CD.

There have been many attempts at fusing Native flutes with synthesizer arrangements, but most of them fail because the synth sounds are pedestrian and stiff, or the flute playing is rudimentary. That's not the case with these two virtuosos. Gary Stroutsos brings the chops of jazz and Afro-Cuban playing to bear on a performance that nevertheless eschews technique in deference to nuance. Jonn Serrie, on the other hand, since 1987 has been articulating a lush, space-music sound on several albums that are noted for their richly textured sound design. Together, they carve out a contemplative zone of slow-motion space largos, touched by hints of Middle Eastern percussion. Serrie has been here before with his 1998 Native-inspired album, Spirit Keepers, but Stroutsos is a more gifted collaborator. His melodies weave from the curvaceous themes of Indian snake charmers on the title track to the more classically inclined refrain of "Earth Sky." The relentlessly slow pace of Hidden World can wear thin over the course of the album. Even the drama of field drums and cymbals and clay pot percussion barely breaks the surface of the album's doggedly contemplative mode. --John Diliberto

4 out of 5 stars Quite peaceful.......2001-02-09

I am certainly not the most knowledgeable of New Age listeners. I do think this album is worth listening to and I personally think John Serrie did a fine job in his synth-to-flute blending. In fact, the balance of both is very good. "Tuptim's Garden" is probably my favorite.

There are two or three tracks differing from the rest, but the change is not necessarily bad. Not the most consistent of New Age albums I've heard, but definately worth it if you're looking for quiet Native type of music.

I don't think this makes good meditation music if that's what you're looking for. As a matter of fact, I don't think any music should be heard when meditating.

5 out of 5 stars Mystic echoes feed the soul.......2000-10-24

I love this CD! It has the earthy resonance of Native American melodies blended with other compositions that remind me of Enya's Celtic mysticism. I find it beautiful to listen to and spiritually satisfying, although it certainly can't be pigeon-holed as expressing strictly one style. Maybe that's why it appeals to me so much: an ethereal excursion touching several musical traditions, that relaxes the psyche and the body.

1 out of 5 stars Boring-Boring-Boring-Boring.......2000-10-16

John Serrie is typical new age that tries various venues (native american) and puts out more new age fluffey music. All his CDs basically sound the same...no matter what the theme appears to be. So, if you buy one of his CDs, you basically have them all. There are a lot of seriously talented musicans that do this style of music much much better. Dont waste your money.

3 out of 5 stars Hidden appeal.......2000-08-31

I am a die hard Serrie fan, but I am over his experimentation with the Native American theme. "Spirit Keepers" was enough for me, and although it was good (with time, since I don't listen to a great deal of Native American music), he didn't need to create a sister c.d., which is even weaker than "Spirit Keepers". All is not lost on this release, though. With Serrie, there will always be nice moments, such is on the first two and final two tracks. In between, it's mostly annoying, with Gary Stroutsos' flute playing coupled with Jonn Serrie's minimal soundscape backdrop. This c.d. could easily get lost without much notice in the world of Native American music, except that Jonn Serrie has gained a very good reputation for premium space music. For this reason, it will be exposed to a wider audience, some of whom will likely be less than impressed. Hopefully, Jonn Serrie has exited this trendy genre of music and has started projects in other directions.

5 out of 5 stars if I had this album .......2005-08-08

I like to go outside @ night on clear nights & watch the beautiful stars (yes Im a stargazer)& if I had this cd I would put it in a cd player & play it & it would make stargazing worthwhile ( if u use ur imagination of course) heck I can't wait till the next lunar eclipse when I can see many stars Mr. serrie all I can say to you is u have great talent & from what I hear on these samples I like it

5 out of 5 stars My Favourite Space Music Album Of All Time.......2002-06-21

Firstly, I must thank Jonn Serrie for his contributions over the years. This CD is quite simply at the peak of the genre - never surpassed as far as I am concerned. Created when it was, in 1985, using equipment no where near matching todays technology is even more remarkable. A true testament to a remarkable composer with immense vision. This is "Deep Space" music at it's very, very best !! Good luck Jonn with your new venture - I can't wait for Lumia Nights !

5 out of 5 stars Hypnotic and trance-like; Don't use when driving.......2002-03-27

Of the many CDs I own, this is by far the most powerful in terms of its ability to create a serene mood and change mental state. My wife has urged me never to play this CD while on the road because of its hypnotic affect. This CD takes its place at the very peak of ambient 'musica electronica.'

I never tire of this work; the music is always fresh. It often seems as though Serrie has slipped something new into the CD that wasn't there the last time I listened to it. Also, the music is so lush and full; I cannot imagine how anyone could ever put more sound onto a disk. This CD will live forever as the standard against which all other ambient space music is measured.

5 out of 5 stars My #1 Recommendation for Meditation Or Celestial Gazing.......2001-12-04

Whether you love star gazing or meditation, this will take you on a journey to the stars. I teach meditation and love playing this CD. I have more people asking who he is and the name of this CD. Some of the pieces are as much as 10 minutes or longer. Or if you love star gazing, set this CD in motion or "Flightpath", another one of his best CD's. Enjoy the journey!

Synthesist Jonn Serrie has always traversed a spectrum between deep space excursions and sentimental pop melodies. He charts a similar course on Lumia Nights, creating ambient lounge music full of breathy synthesizer pads and cocktail-bar-at-midnight moods. He even covers the jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves" to cloyingly bad effect. Just think Lawrence Welk plugged in. The lounge rhythms are offered up with none of the irony you might find in electronica artists such as Thievery Corporation or Loop Guru, whose grooves call up an iconography that's twisted on its head. It's not until "Deep Mystery" that Serrie floats off into the night sky with shimmering synthesizer textures that recall some of his Planetary Chronicles recordings, but even here, the synthesist goes for melodies that exhibit more saccharine than soul. --John Diliberto

5 out of 5 stars best of space music!!!.......2007-05-24

Can't get enough of it. I am planning to listen to it in this summer while gazing stars outside:-)

5 out of 5 stars Contemporary, Futuristic, Essential.......2007-01-20

One of the pleasures of an educated listener is to be able to follow the journey and growing of talented composers like John Serrie. Serrie, whose talents were graciously recognized and utilized by CNN and Steven Spielberg, shows his maturity and sophistication on "Lumia Nights," elegant in both title and melody. Surpassing even "Planetary Chronicles II" and "Ixlandia," Serrie truly takes the listener on a journey far away from the troubles of this world with the full range of his electronic and ambient talent, beginning with the title track that impacts the listener like a ship taking off for a celestial journey. "Lovers in Motion," "Tide Pools" and "Autumn Leaves" continue past earth, making the listener truly feel like he or she is in the 21st century, far from the petty cares of this world.

Serrie has definitely evolved into one of the premier space music artists of our time. Not like the twinkly-winkly 'new age' music of the 1980's that never really got off the ground, "Lumia Nights" is a shining jewel in a music lover's sophisticated collection. Filled with pleasant melodic echoes that instill the vastness of space against a starry backdrop, Serrie shows his qualities without "too many notes" or the lackluster effect of the novice who has no layering to his compositions. On the contrary, Serrie blends beautiful reverbial harmonies with smooth, even flowing tempos, ereatheral pings that almost make you feel you're on 10 Forward admiring the stars, nebulae and other celestial beauties--just a little closer to heaven. There's nothing corny or overrated here. Contemporary, Futuristic and Essential, it is worth repeating a thousand times. Serrie's work is sure never to grow old, ageless and timeless. Perfectly appropriate for listening while reading, relaxing, love making or as a cure for insomnia, "Lumia Nights" is a must have for the intelligent, mature listener.

5 out of 5 stars A Must For Space Fans Everywhere!.......2007-01-10

I very strongly recommend this cd for space music fans everywhere. I use it when I need to relax, for sleep, or meditation. It helps me get in touch with the inner self.

5 out of 5 stars Celestial Heaven.......2007-01-10

I enjoy New Age music that can take my soul for a journey through the stars. This is one of my favorite CDs for relaxing.

5 out of 5 stars Serrie's best since he put out "Spirit Keepers".......2006-07-06

Seldom have I run across a "mood" album which so completely captures the rhythms of the evening. A newcomer to the genre might mark this as typical 'easy listening', but it is not. This is Space Music Serrie at his best, cut loose on a sensual, somewhat titlating journey through the activities of night: rest, relaxation, romance, and sex.

Listening to this album is like going on an aural date with your one and only: a high-dress night on the town, superb dining, slow dancing, the eventual midnight drive home through gentle summer air while the stars illuminate your way, to be capped by scenes of slow, hungry passion in the jacuzzi, shower, or between the sheets.

My wife is not overly fond of space music, but on this album we're agreed, Serrie has truly captured the feeling of the complete couples' evening. Smooth, flowing, with a depth of bass that perfectly underscores the higher melodies. A remarkably undersold gem of an album which I very much recommend, whether you need some background ambience to set the tone, or a bona fide space trip of the mind.

Space music is a cosmological odyssey in sound that expands your imagination and leaves it floating in an extended state of weightless wonder, and rarely is it more satisfying than when Jonn Serrie is at the controls. Serrie, an Atlanta-area composer who learned his mind-stretching craft while creating soundscapes for planetarium exhibitions, is acknowledged as one of the brightest stars in the space-music constellation, and if you have yet to experience any of his sound probes into deepest space, it's hard to imagine a better introductory package than Century Seasons. The two-disc compilation showcases Serrie's pre-2000 work, sampling 10 recordings and shrewdly focusing on the keyboardist's core intergalactic sound, largely overlooking Serrie's occasional flirtations with pop-influenced romanticism. Instead, the package opens with a blissfully slow drift of sound, "Gentle the Night," from Serrie's seminal debut disc, And the Stars Go with You, and sustains a state of nearly undisturbed peace for more than two hours. Such recordings make a person glad headphones were created. Outstanding. --Terry Wood

What can I say? Everything that Jonn Serrie does is great stuff. Although my all time favorite of his is: "And the Stars Go With You." Jonn's music is very relaxing and very spacey. I love this stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Great for observing.......2007-02-17

I love to listen to this music while I'm observing through the telescope. It is the perfect mood music for astronomy.

5 out of 5 stars A superior Deep Space compilation.......2006-01-05

This cd is a compilation from previous
releases - releases which contained a mixture
of deep space music as well as some of Jonn's
more romanticly inclined music. Recognizing that
a large portion of his audience desired a purer
and more consistant release of his space music,
Serrie released Century Seasons.
If you don't have this double cd,it is truely worth
owning. Serrie is clearly among the very best
at what he does, and what he does rewards the ear
with every listening.

Other releases in this vein include:
Planetary Chronicles Vol. 1;
Planetary Chronicles Vol. 2;
And The Stars Go With You;
and his most recent: Stargazer's Journey

5 out of 5 stars musical interpretation of most essential curiosity that transcends fear.......2005-09-13

This music captures the feeling of cosmos curiosity overriding career angst. Great background for heavy math and physics. Must listen under stars!

I remember losing my first job in aerospace while my ex girlfriend called me a wimp. A small child warned me not to see Alien or I wouldn't sleep that night. I went to check whether I could sleep after. I found my curiosity exceeded my terror in this movie.

Finding this curiosity exceeding terror has always been a powerful experience for me as my life in science continued. I believe it is my very center.

John Williams music, I can't do heavy science to; to Jonn Serrie, I can.

5 out of 5 stars Great Space Music.......2005-07-08

John Serrie is my favorite space musician and I think this might be his best. Of course it is 2 cd's and a compilation but it does select excellent picks. I have all of his cd's and they are all the best. Some of his older music is difficult to find and might be why this cd came out. All of his music is hauntingly beautiful and spacey. If you only get one of his, this is a good choice. I can't get enough of him. Get them all and take a trip to outer and inner space. Peace and love to all hearts of space.

5 out of 5 stars Space/ambient dreams........2006-04-21

I love Serrie's work - have been a fan since highschool. There is simply no better space/ambient music out there. I've used his cds in my yoga and pilates classes as well as a mental nightcap. If you have trouble sleeping, mediating, and/or winding down at the end of the day, Serrie may be your answer.

His work is surreal without being airy-fairy new-agey. It's dark and definitely more ambient. All the men I've introduced to Serrie's music love it.

5 out of 5 stars Musings in Deep Space.......2006-01-05

There are already several reviews for
Jonn Serrie's various releases. The
Planetary Chronicles CDs offer Serrie's
sumptuous sense of deep space music and
is reckoned by many to be his strong
suite. Without being too 'dark' there
is a sense of adventure and just enough
of an edge to delight the ear upon repeated
listening. The fact that Jonn's work can be
listened to again and again is partly responsible
for the enduring fan base he has created for
himself.

    5 out of 5 stars One of Serrie's best!.......2006-04-21

    This was the first CD I bought of Serrie's. It's a little lighter than his deep space work (Planetary Chronicles) but still ambient rather than typical new-age. Think alien planet as opposed to cruising in deep space.

    5 out of 5 stars Evocative.......2005-02-03

    Before I purchased this CD I discovered it on an internet radio broadcast. There was a powerfully pastoral salience to Serrie's music that emerged above the other new age selections I was listening to that caused me to pause and go to my computer and see what was playing; each time I checked it was 'Midsummer Century.' I find 'Midsummer Century' more evocative of a deeper peacefulness than I found in recordings of similar genre.

    1 out of 5 stars This is not music, people.......2004-08-21

    If you are looking for music, I advise listening to someone else. If you like listening to calculated noise, then this is more in line for you. Sorry, but this album and others by Mr. Serrie are just "stuff".

    5 out of 5 stars Simply hypnotic.......2000-04-14

    The first four tracks are the exceptions to the remainer of the CD and are appealing to most anyone. Beginning with the fifth track, "Velvet" Jonn begins his spell casting as the music progressively becomes more free flowing, airy and subdued. (I personally think that there are some subliminal messages in these songs as it took me several attempts to stay awake to the end.) The surprise is that half way into the "Ancient of Days" a melody and percussion line emerges and after a moment drifts away. Each song smoothly flows into the next and lulls the listener into a deeper state of relaxation while not being totally space music, it is perhaps the musical representation of the last strands of our earth's atmosphere. Adding Jonn's "Tingri" makes this a nice set if you don't get anything else by him.

    5 out of 5 stars Full of Emotion.......1999-11-04

    This is one of my favorite Jonn Serrie albums. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is written with tremendous emotion and a seeming longing for something unfulfilled. Only Jonn can make this kind of feeling come through a keyboard.
