ECHOES PLAYLIST

For the Week of February 7, 2000

The following playlist is for one (1) week of ECHOES programming (5 days, 2 hours per day). Your local station may run only certain segments or one day of programming from this week's list especially if you hear Echoes on a weekend. Your station may also reverse the hours of Echoes, so that half hours 3&4 become 1&2.

We are pleased to offer many of the recordings you hear on ECHOES through our ECHODISC catalog. Following the playlist you'll find pricing of recordings from the catalog. If an album is not listed with a price that means it is not available through ECHODISC. You'll find ordering information at the end of this playlist. If you'd like to receive our free ECHODISC catalog, you can call 800-321-ECHO or e-mail us at: echoes@echoes.org. If you want a catalog, be sure to give us your postal address. You can also find the catalog and Echoes information on this site.

DAVID HELPLING'S LUMINOUS WORLD

David Helpling plays guitar, but it usually doesn't sound like

one.  Instead, he sculpts the atmospheres and melodies that have

marked his two solo albums, "Between Green and Blue" and

"Sleeping on the Edge of the World" (Spotted Peccary).  We talk

to this self-taught composer about a music that charts the shades

in between.

             THE STRANGE WORLD OF RYUICHI SAKAMOTO

Ryuichi Sakamoto is a musical enigma.  He came to renown in the

1970s as part of the synthesizer band, Yellow Magic Orchestra,

and released a series of acclaimed solo albums in the 1980s.  His

movie scores include"The Last Emperor" and "High Heels."  In the

1990s, he's collaborated with Iggy Pop, Laurie Anderson and David

Byrne, scored dissonant electro-acoustic symphonies and totally

kitschy pop.  Now, Sakamoto has two new discs.  One is orchestral

renderings of his film scores. The other is BTTB, or Back to the

Basics.  It's a solo piano album, that includes a song that

started out as a commercial jingle and wound up number one in

Japan.  Ryuichi Sakamoto talks about his strange world.

 AN ECHOES LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE R. CARLOS NAKAI QUARTET

In a rare Echoes concert before an audience, we gathered the R.

Carlos Nakai Quartet for extensions of Native American music. 

With Nakai on Native flutes, Will Clipman on drums and

percussion, bassist/keyboardist Amochip Dabney and keyboardist/

singer Mary Redhouse, the quartet enthralled a packed house of 

listeners to Echoes affiliate station, WITF, in Harrisburg, PA.

We'll bring you the highlights in this special Echoes Living Room

Concert.

           ADIEMUS' GLOBAL CHOIRS OF THE IMAGINATION

Karl Jenkins has a perfect progressive music pedigree.  A

classically trained composer, he spent most of the 1970s as part

of the brainiest of jazz fusion bands, the Soft Machine.  After

he left them, however, he disappeared from contemporary music

until we noticed his name on the sleeve of "Songs of Sanctuary"

by Adiemus. It turns out that Adiemus is Karl Jenkins.  Along

with singer Miriam Stockley, Jenkins'  combination of world music

vocal techniques, Enya-like choral arrangements and classical

orchestrations has struck a chord around the world.  They've now

recorded three albums and Miriam Stockley has a solo CD.  They've

also just released a Best of collection (Omtown). We talked with

Adiemus back at the beginning when their sound was still fresh.
