Home of Michael Thomas Berkely. New Age / World music, ambient but in a more tribal, organic sense. Or, to be more, precise...in the label's own words: "Numinous Records is an artist owned and operated label that produces dramatic and powerful music of the highest caliber and integrity. Due to the conventions of the music industry, Numinous music is often catagorized as New Age or Ambient because it is primarily instrumental and not strictly classical. We don't like these labels, but we have learned to live with them. Numinous Records is more concerned, however, with the meaning and power of music than with stylistic genres."
