ROBERT BEARNS & RON DEXTER: Golden
Voyage Vol. 1
Before New Age existed
as a genre, Robert Bearns and Ron Dexter began creating their Golden Voyage series of albums in the 1970s to help
listeners cross over “the rainbow bridge” and awaken “an all new fourth dimensional horizon.”
The fathers of the New Age, Bearns and Dexter blended New Age spirituality, space
music themes, primitive synthesizers, “beautiful music” melodies, environmental sounds, wind chimes, and traditional
instruments into what they called a “galactic exploration through celestial harmonics.” Books and magazines on
energy medicine, guided imagery, stress reduction, and music therapy promoted the therapeutic and meditative value of the
Golden Voyage albums. The combination of Bearns’ otherworldly poetry, cosmic philosophies, and psychedelic
album art and Dexter’s floating, trance-inducing melodies was said to stimulate the listener to “a higher creative
potential” and induce a state of total awareness—or total relaxation.
The six volumes in the Golden Voyage series, originally released between 1977 and 1987, have been
out of print for over 25 years. Equally prized among meditators and collectors of private-label New Age recordings, the Golden
Voyage albums are among the most sought-after of all the pioneering New Age releases.
Now, Road.runner1968a is pleased to present this offering of instrumental recordings from Bearns and Dexter’s
pioneering series. This eccentric and visionary duo helped shape California’s New Age subculture in the 1970s and helped
set the course of New Age music.
Whether you enjoy these recordings
for meditation or for their earnest attempts to induce total awareness and embody “love in cosmic action,” they
are certain to transport you to an “isotonic, altered state of ecstasy!”
