New age releases, week 37

This week's new releases in the new age genre highlight both archival rediscoveries and enduring influences. Titles include the first-ever vinyl release of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Quiet Forest, a reissue of The Durutti Column’s Renascent, and reflections on the legacy of artists like Dead Can Dance and Matt Johnson. The week also features a reimagined version of SLUG COMPARISON’s Cold in Cold out, alongside retrospectives on iconic works from Nirvana and David Bowie. These releases collectively underscore the genre’s deep connections to ambient textures, introspective soundscapes, and musical lineage.
