Please do not confuse Narada Michael Waldon with Narada Music. Narada Michael Waldon is a music artist; an individual. \nNarada…World Class, World View, World Vision\nNarada is world renowned as one of the leaders in defining and establishing new instrumental and world music. Distinguished by superb craftsmanship, high production values and, most importantly, creative integrity, its roster of artists and catalog of music are evolving to accommodate both a changing market and the cutting edge of new music.\nFounded in 1983 as a quality alternative to traditional musical options, Narada has become a tastemaker in world, Celtic, new flamenco, jazz, new age, acoustic guitar and piano genres. Narada’s diverse artist roster offers a broad range of individual musical outlooks including jazz keyboardists Ramsey Lewis, and Jeff Lorber; jazz guitarists Joyce Cooling, Nick Colionne and Jeff Golub, saxmen Euge Groove, Eric Darius, and Steve Cole; vocalists Bird York and Deval Premal; urban jazz bands Incognito, Down to the Bone, and Urban Knights; blues singer John Hammond; bassist Tony Levin; world music artists Lila Downs and Juan-Carlos Formell.\nNarada and its affiliated companies were purchased by EMI/Virgin Records America in 1997. Since then, Narada has continued to expand its musical offerings, becoming the principal US licensee for Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records. We have also developed our affiliated label, Back Porch (roots rock, alt country, Americana, singer-songwriters). In 2004, the esteemed new age label Higher Octave joined our family. In all, the combined catalog of recordings exceeds 850 titles. In 2005, we are proud to have Narada’s labels become affiliated with EMI’s prestigious Blue Note Label Group (Blue Note, Manhattan, Angel, Metro Blue). \nA Narada Standard of Excellence\nIn our ongoing commitment to audio excellence, Narada uses a high definition digital audio mastering process where background noise and distortion are virtually eliminated. The result is recordings with maximum detail and clarity — a truly natural sound. \nBackground\nFounded in 1983, the independent record label released its first two albums that year, a pair of solo piano recording by Michael Jones (PIANOSCAPES) and David Lanz (HEARTSOUNDS).\nNarada’s commercial success and artistic stature both have grown dramatically since that modest beginning. Twice Billboard magazine has recognized Narada as the No. 1 adult alternative-new age record company in the North American music industry.\nNarada has earned this distinction by successfully accomplishing two goals: 1) Providing listeners with a quality alternative to traditional musical options and 2) Demonstrating that the arts, and music in particular, can contribute positively and meaningful to humanity’s goal of achieving a brighter, healthier, and more peaceful future.\nToday Narada works with an artist roster that includes more than two-dozen talented musicians from around the world. The Narada label itself has a fine catalog of recordings exceeding 500 titles. Narada’s music is distinguished by its craftsmanship, its high production values, and, most importantly, its ability to touch hearts and stir imaginations.\nApproach\nNarada is a company that values both continuity and diversity in its creative endeavors. The common thread running though all of Narada’s activities is commitment to quality – in presenting the cutting edge of new music, in studio production values, in album artwork, in material components, and most of all, in the heartfelt nature of its music.\nNarada’s instrumental music occupies a distinctive position on the contemporary musical landscape. While it is influenced by many idioms – jazz, world, folk, rock, pop and classical music – the music of Narada’s artists articulates a new, refined musical voice, one that appeals to individuals who possess sophisticated tastes and an interest in fresh musical ideas. Narada’s music exudes a quality of craftsmanship that touches the hearts and minds of listeners in a lasting fashion. Beyond helping people feel good, Narada also hopes its music can do good things. While music alone cannot change the world, Narada hopes that its unique musical perspective can add an artistic sensibility to the important issues that will influence the quality of our lives. We focus our efforts not only on music, but also ideas. The label feels that the arts, and music in particular, can contribute as significantly to our social dialogue as the scientific, economic, or political communities.\nThe music industry is sometimes criticized by those who feel that record companies offer material that is socially detrimental. Narada though is dedicated to pursing a positive, constructive approach to the art of music. Narada will continue to affiliate its music with organizations that are committed to creating a better quality of life and a brighter world tomorrow.\nFor its part, Narada remains committed to nurturing the finest in contemporary music – music created by some of the most imaginative, sensitive, and expressive artists in the world. Sophisticated. Innovative. Heartfelt. Progressive.\nWhat Lies Ahead For Narada\nNarada celebrates nearly 25 years of contributions to adult music entertainment. Together with the EMI’s Blue Note Label Group , there is vision of a bright future ahead. Blue Note is an outstanding organization for Narada, sharing the commitment to creativity and artistic integrity. EMI, Blue Note, and Narada are working together to ensure continued success and growth for the label and its artists worldwide.\nNarada is well positioned to serve the needs of adult music listeners who will continue to demand quality, innovation and imagination in their music choices. Narada has developed a reputation for creating music that touches listeners’ hearts and stirs their own creative instincts. In a world of increasingly refined technology, few products have the capacity to evoke the fullest potential from this technology as Narada recordings.

基本内容：Narada唱片公司 New Age名厂Narada成立于1983年，创始人John Morey原本并非音乐圈专业人士，而是一位书籍出版商，他喜欢与人共享音乐，于是把自己收集的一些New Age音乐作品制成卡带在书店中销售。 1983年John Morey巧遇一位加拿大钢琴家Michael Jones，并喜欢上了Michael的钢琴作品。他进而向Michael Jones询问是否可以将其作品在美国发行，Michael Jones欣然应允。就这样，John Morey正式成立了Narada唱片公司，并开始经营以New Age为主要风格的音像制品。 其出品的第一张作品就是由Michael Jones创作的编号ND-61001的《Pianoscapes》,编号ND-61002、ND-61003的作品分别是由Gabriel lee创作的吉他独奏专辑《Seasons》、由David Lanz创作的钢琴独奏专辑《Heartsounds》,后者和Michael Jones都成为了Narada唱片的当家乐手。之所以取名「Narada」，是因为此词系梵文中执掌音乐的印度神袛的名字，以东方乐神为名，也许可以保佑音乐绝对收欢迎；想象的空间也较大些。 Narada成立伊始，主要出版三个系列的音乐作品：以传统原声乐器独奏为特征的Narada Lotus系列（这是Narada的特色之一，国内除直译“莲花”之外，还有一个美丽的音译名“乐陶氏”，想象一下，能让陶渊明老先生乐融融的音乐是个什么味道^-^）；结合了古典、爵士、流行的曲风的融合器乐Narada Equinox系列(国内译作“星象”)；还有以电子合成乐为主轴的Narada Mysyique。 Narada唱片发展伊始，为保持音乐风格的一致性，其发行的唱片均由制作人Eric Lindert掌握所有Narada专辑的基调，所以在整体形象上十分整齐。但鉴于近年来全球NewAge市场成长渐缓，为强化产品的竞争力与提高市场占有率，Narada开始寻求与大企业的合作。 1997年，Narada唱片及其子厂牌被EMI-Virgin Records America收购。此后，Narada唱片负责并代理RealWorld美国部和Luaka Bop两大世界音乐厂牌。同时它主攻roots, Americana, singer-songwriters和rock的子厂牌“Back Porch”和专注于electronic, world和ambient music的子厂牌“Shakti”也得以长足发展，后者更是收下了"Robert Miles"和"Sheila Chandra "等名家。 目前，原来的Narada Mysyique系列已并入其子厂牌“Shakti”，九十年代Narada又开发了一个服务于影视配乐的Narada Cinema系列，2000左右开发了Narada World和Narada Jazz两个系列，呈现一种多元化趋势。 虽然Narada在国内未被盗版商照顾，知名度不高，但在欧美市场，她是和Windham Hill和Real Music齐名的New Age名厂，两度被“告示牌”认证为北美New Age唱片第一厂牌。今年，其旗下的New Age二人组Tingstad & Rumbel赢取了格莱美2002年度“最佳New Age专辑”。
