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.

ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER: PAIRING OFF
On his latest album, COSMOPOLY (Sony Classical), Andreas
Vollenweider strips down to the basics, getting rid of elaborate
orchestrations and overdubs, and focusing in on interactions with
a cast of global musicians. He pairs off with Bobby McFerrin,
pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, singer Carly Simon and the Solis String
Quartet among other. Vollenweider talks about the Swiss
recordings sessions that resulted in this album and about getting
down to basic musician relationships.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MICHAEL MANDRELL
Michael Mandrell is a journeyman musician. He played with the
world fusion group, TAOS, and now has a solo CD called THE GREAT
SPIRAL DANCE (Ageless Music). Michael fuses gentle guitar
picking with world music touches and evocative compositions on
his debut. Michael sits down in the Echoes living room for a
solo performance.
