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

Customer Reviews:

Space Music.......2007-05-13

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
