Echoes Extended – The Best of Echoes 2024, So Far

The best of Echoes 2024 so far - top 30

At the mid-point of the year, we look back at some of the best music from the Echoes soundscape, spanning electronic, ambient, dreampop, ambient classical, world fusion and more.

The on-air format for Echoes is a little restrictive at times: everything needs to fit into regular time slots, and the whole program can’t be more the two hours.  As a result, we were not able to squeeze all 30 tracks that we’d put into our Best-of 2024: So Far… list into the radio program, and had to trim a few tracks that were too long for their assigned segments.   On the radio show, we only heard 20 of the top albums, but here on-line, we have more flexibility, so here’s all 30 tracks, in their entirety.  And on top of that, this stream is uninterrupted by any narration. So check the playlist below to verify what you’re hearing, presented in countdown form, staring with number 30 and ending-up with our pick for the number one album of the first half of 2024.

The full ranked list is here>>
