ESSENTIAL ECHOES
We pick our 25 favorites from 2006

We kick off the new year taking one last look at the old, as we survey our 25 favorite Echoes CDs for 2006. The listeners had their choice, now the Echoes staff makes theirs as we survey a tumultuous year that included electronica breakthroughs, global fusions, new acoustic combinations and minimalist birthdays. We sort it out before we move forward into 2007.

AN INTERVIEW WITH LOREENA MCKENNITT: A JOURNEY CONTINUED
Loreena McKennitt picks up where she left off a decade ago

It's been nearly 10 years since Loreena McKennitt released her last CD. Her new CD, An Ancient Muse takes the bookmark out of The Book of Secrets and picks up the story where she left off on her mystical journey through Middle Eastern and northern Saharan cultures. We travel along with McKennitt, who tells her tale of an earlier day.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MYSTICAL SUN: AMBIENT LIGHT
A laptop composer breathes mountain ambiences
Mystical Sun is the recording moniker of a San Francisco Bay area laptop composer and musician who has been quietly articulating a deeply chilled brand of ambient music, much of which he says is inspired by the low mountains surrounding his home. It's been years since his last CD, but he's been leaking out ambient gems on collections like Ambienism Volume One (Spiralight) and 13th Moon (Interchill). Now he finally has a new CD called Deeperworlds. We return to our 2004 interview with Mystical Sun where we head up to Mt. Diablo to find the meaning in his ambience.

AL DI MEOLA INTERVIEW: GUITAR SCHISMS
A guitarist torn between electric and acoustic

Al Di Meola earned his reputation for death defying speed runs with Chick Corea's Return to Forever and on a string of solo CDs in the 1970s and 80s. But for nearly two decades, he's spent even more time with the acoustic guitar, recording in a trio with John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia, his own World Symphonia and many other projects. On a new CD called Consequence of Chaos, he returns to electric. Al Di Meola talks about his return to electric guitar and the acoustic album around the corner.
