Beyond Echoes are music streams that travel the Echoes soundwaves, and sometimes venture further afield. You won't have John's mellifluous hosting, but we hope you'll enjoy these musical journeys.


Diaspar
 

The legendary progressive rock show that aired on WXPN in Philadelphia from about 1974 until 1989. Diaspar pushed musical boundaries with its willful eclecticism and radical, often aggressive mixes of prog-rock, avant-garde jazz, new wave and space music.

Another Land

Take a trip into a world of the imagination, where cultures and technologies merge in a seamless flow of chilled, down-tempo grooves and pastoral washes of electro-ambience.  It's Another Land, a 3 hour voyage that includes music from the 1970s by Ashra, archetypal space music reborn with Banco De Gaia and echoes from the edge of the new millennium by Ulrich Schnauss, Sounds from the Ground and Michael Brook.  Three hours, 29 songs and total bliss are found in Another Land.

Diaspar: East of Endless

A more vintage variation of the Diaspar sound with early progressive rock from Traffic, East of Eden, Hatfield and the North, Egg and Van Der Graaf Generator. We also hear a later edition of Gong with Alan Holdsworth on guitar. Bringing us closer to the present is a strain of post-psychedelic trance from Ozric Tentacles and their Finnish cousins, Hidria Spacefolk. There's also more from the English Bartok-rock band, Guapo and a musician who records classic prog keyboard orchestrations, Fonya. Time stands still East of Endless.
