Monday, Apr 20, 2026 – Echoes Program 2616A
Electronic artist Craig Padilla and guitarist Marvin Allen have released a quartet of albums that traverse the world of ambient, progressive rock and psychedelic music. Their latest is Unfolding Skies. It is Echoes April CD of the Month. Its cosmic sounds were all recorded in Craig Padilla’s living room.
Craig Padilla: “We did the first song, and when it was done, Marvin goes, ‘Padilla, make another sequence.’ And so he and my wife would go into the kitchen and just talk and I’d be out here just working on some other song ideas and then he’d go, ‘Ooh, that sounds good.’”
Craig Padilla and Marvin Allen talk about their journey and reveal the story behind “Jammin’ with Buddha.”
Read John Diliberto’s review of Unfolding Skies and explore the Echoes CD of the Month Club.
