The 71 minute long album is simply a new age music Tour de Force, an album worthy of gods. Last year Clifford White gave us the massive The Gods of Olympus, which tells the story of the principal gods of the Greek pantheon. Only a talented and versatile artist is able to express something entirely different from one release to the next. I’m always amazed when an artist totally changes style from one album to the next. Visit Suzanne Doucet at & her New Age Circle Forum at. The newly remastered version of the Transmission album is available on CDBaby and all other major digital music outlets. Transmission is beautiful and significant. It makes me wonder too who ever said that new age music was one-dimensional and uninspired? They surely never got this transmission.

It is one of those few albums that I always return to – and it lifts my spirit up every time. Transmission is a true new age music classic. It is a gentle song, perfect for meditation and relaxation. It is a voyage in sound that is just not to be missed The sound effects, with dripping water and echo, is like walking into a mystical cave. The last track, the over 12 minute long Transmission, is a like an album in itself. The Jupiter strings are marvelous (at least to analogue synth fans). It has a romantic feel with just a touch of melancholy.

The song Moonlight continues where Good Friday left off.

Shiva’s is, by the way, also dancing on the wonderful cover artwork. It reminds me of Brian Eno’s In Dark Trees from his masterwork Another Green World (1975), but with a more meditative atmosphere. Track two, Shiva’s Dance, is a quite fast song. Transmission is a true masterpiece that sounds just as powerful today as it did back in the golden new age music era of the early 1980s. And wow, the guitars! Notice how the songs fades away gently – sounding truly divine. I have trouble describing it, you just have to experience it for yourself – but the magic seems to be in the combination of female and male vocals, the gently flowing rhythm, the ultra sharp Jupiter sounds and elements from other genres the vocals makes me think of the 1960s for some reason. What makes it stand above the crowd is the unique atmosphere. Good Friday is without a doubt one of the finest songs in new age music. Transmission was recorded at the Daylight Studio in Munich in 1983 – the 4 week production started on Good Friday, hence the name of the album’s first track. Transmission is one of two projects by the Doucet/Buehner duo (the first being the wonderful Transformation, which I will write another review about). The synth has an amazing analogue sound bank, and it is being used to perfection on Transmission. The Jupiter 8 synth, which we have heard used by artists such as Jan Hammer and Tangerine Dream (and many more), creates a quite spacey soundscape. Transmission has a minimalistic approach that is very soothing to the ears. When it comes to meditative music, more is usually less. It is a true masterpiece that sounds just as powerful today as it did back in the golden new age music era of the early 1980s. The album was recorded in 1983, and stands as a cornerstone in the new age music discography. A new age music album that is both beautiful and significant is Transmission by Suzanne Doucet and Christian Buehner. According to one definition art is “the creation of beautiful or significant things”.
