ECHOES FEBRUARY CD OF THE MONTH
ERIK SCOTT: OTHER PLANETS
A rocking bassist takes the ambient instrumental path
Bassist Erik Scott has played with Alt-rockers Sonia Dada and shock rocker Alice Cooper. But don't let that scare you away from his album, Other Planets. It's a beautiful instrumental recording with sensuous electric bass leads that show what a bass can sound like when a great melodicist leads the way. Erik Scott's Other Planets is our February CD of the Month.Join the CD Club!
