Psychedelic, Progressive space music from Craig Padilla and Marvin Allen's Unfolding Skies - Echoes CD of the Month
Weekend listeners take progressive rock, space music trip with Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen’s Unfolding Skies, Echoes April CD of the Month. We’ve been following Craig Padilla since the turn of the millennium. He’s put out well north of 60 albums since then spanning sequencer space music, drone zone and more impressionistic electronic painting, especially through collaborations with the late flute player, Zero Ohms, Richard Roberts. Marvin Allen is less known and not prolific at all. His four recordings to date are all his collaborations with Craig Padilla: Toward the Horizon in 2019, Strange Gravity in 2021 Weathering the Storm in 2023 and now, Unfolding Skies. They’ve gotten together on a sound that is part ambient, part sequencer space music, part Pink Floyd, and part progressive rock with a layer of psychedelia. Take the trip tonight on Echoes from PRX.
