FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

BRIAN ENO: AMBIENT VOCALS Although Brian Eno is esteemed as the Godfather of ambient
music, he began by crafting witty, knotty and idiosyncratic songs,
first with Roxy Music and then on solo albums like HERE COME THE
WARM JETS and TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN BY STRATEGY. Those CDs have
been recently re-issued, but Eno also has a brand new recording
of songs, his first in over 15 year. It's called ANOTHER DAY
ON EARTH (Rykodisc) and it's an excursion into profound melancholy,
tinged with Eno's whimsy. We talk with Eno about his return to
singing.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH CHRISTOPHER O'RILEY Christopher O'Riley is a noted classical concert pianist as
well as the host of Public Radio International's From the Top
radio program. You'll usually hear him playing Scriabin and Mozart,
but two years ago he put out an album called TRUE LOVE WAITS (Sony
Classical), which consisted of songs by the English art rock group
Radiohead. O'Riley transcribed their music for piano and in the
process recast them as classical pieces. O'Riley has returned
with a new CD of Radiohead tunes, HOLD ME TO THIS (World Village).
O'Riley returns to the Echoes Living Room to play music from
his album as well as an unreleased version of a tune by the late
Elliott Smith.
Friday 06/17/05
JON JENKINS: DREAM ORCHESTRAS Jon Jenkins is an electronic composer who grew up listening
to the progressive rock of Genesis and Pink Floyd. You can still
hear that influence in his latest album, BEYOND CITY LIGHT (Spotted
Peccary Records), but he's gotten more expansive in his approach,
creating elongated melodies and slowly evolving orchestrations.
In the studios of Spotted Peccary Records, Jon Jenkins takes
us inside his dream orchestra.
