Head into Space on Sci-Fi Echoes.
Upon the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we go to the Sci-Fi side of Echoes with music evoking galaxies far-far away, creatures strange and beautiful, robots, astronauts, dystopian nightmares and utopian Dreams. Expect the soundscape to include some Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, Patrick Watsons’ Love Song for Robots and more. It will be the soundtrack you wish they’d used on Star Wars.

There was a song by the Smoke Fairies that began the show. What was the name and album?
Your station may have played the program from Monday, December 14 – it was our Sonic Seasonings program, and indeed had a Smoke Fairies song at the beginning. It was the song “Give and Receive” from the CD Wild Winter. You can see the whole playlist for that show here: https://echoes.org/2015/12/14/monday-december-14-2015-echoes-program-1550a/
