ECHOES FEBRUARY CD OF THE MONTH
RASA: TEMPLE OF LOVE
Sacred hymns in global ambiences sung in a voice from heaven
Rasa have been longtime favorites of Echoes. Singer Kim Waters takes Vedic chants and turns them into euphoric hymns with the lush backing of Hans Christian who arranges an ambient global orchestra around her with cello, sarangi, percussion and electronics. Their latest CD is a perfect choice for the month of Valentine's Day as TEMPLE OF LOVE offers a serene set of love songs.

Erik Ian Walker & Marit Brook-Kothlow
Music of orchestral ambience for imaginary plays
In the heart of San Francisco, Erik Ian Walker makes music that mixes chamber music, ambient sounds and visualizations from plays that he often scores. On his latest album, I HAVE NEVER TOLD YOU, he's joined by singer-dancer-actress Marit Brook-Kothlow for a personal set of often quirky ambient instrumentals and art songs. In Walker's garage studio they talk about pre-operative trans-sexual rock bands, Music for Squares and more.
ECHOES OF THE HEART
A Valentine’s soundscape for the romantic and the erotic
Echoes celebrates St. Valentine's Day with a sensual soundscape of atmospheric moods and poetic murmurs. We'll walk into Rasa's TEMPLE OF LOVE and hear evocations of the heart from around the world and out into space.
