The World of Private Music Volume II is a compilation that offers a bird's-eye view of the world of Private Music, a label that led the way in new age and contemporary instrumental music in the late 1980s. The label's aesthetic is centered around crystalline sound, gentle rhythms, and melody-oriented synth/acoustic works, clearly demonstrating its emphasis on listening. Rather than relying on flashy spiritual expression, its approach of depicting scenes through tone and timing clearly demonstrates the refined side of new age music at the time. This highly valuable album serves as both an introduction to the Private Music catalog and a resource for understanding the atmosphere of the era.
