FEATURES FOR THE WEEK Monday October 4, 1999 LISTENERS' 25 ARTISTS FOR 10 YEARS OF ECHOES Over the summer we polled our listeners for their 25 favorite Echoes artists and the results may be surprising. Topping the list was Lisa Gerrard & Dead Can Dance, followed quickly by Loreena McKennitt, Vangelis, Happy Rhodes and Steve Roach. The list includes world fusion pioneer Paul Winter and new comers Afro Celt Sound System and Vas. We'll play music from all 25 in this special listeners-choice edition of Echoes. Tuesday October 5, 1999 TEN TRENDS FOR TEN YEARS OF ECHOES: AMBIENT Ambient is that sub-genre of music spawned by Brian Eno in the mid 1970s and reborn in the late 1980s as the spacey, mellower side of techno. Ambient pioneer Brian Eno lays the groundwork and disciples, from Harold Budd to The Future Sound of London, pick up the thread as we weave a tale of ambience, one of Ten Trends for Ten Years of Echoes. Wednesday October 6, 1999 TEN ARTISTS FOR TEN YEARS OF ECHOES: LISA GERRARD & DEAD CAN DANCE Ecstatic vocals have been a major part of Echoes for the last 10 years, and no one has brought us more ecstasy than Lisa Gerrard and Dead Can Dance. Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry filtered sounds and spirits from antiquity and merged them into a ritualistic music. They sound like they could have emerged from the crossroads of the Crusades, but with the help of modern technology. Lisa Gerrard's immaculate voice intones words from a language of the imagination while Perry surrounds her with atmospheres and rhythms that propel the music forward. Dead Can Dance recently broke up, but Gerrard has already established a solo career that will take her into the next decade of Echoes. Thursday October 7, 1999 TEN TRENDS FOR TEN YEARS OF ECHOES: THE NEW CELTIC MUSIC New Celtic music was a rarity when Echoes began, but inspired by the likes of Clannad, Enya and Nightnoise, a new Celtic sound emerged and shows no signs of abating. Musicians from Ireland and Scotland as well as artists who have never set foot outside of America have been inspired to create a Celtic music that owes a debt to Celtic Bard Turlough O'Carolan, but this sound is far from shamrocks and leprechauns. We'll look behind the Celtic sound with most of its leading practitioners including Enya, Clannad, Nightnoise, and Joanie Madden. Friday October 8, 1999 TEN ARTISTS FOR TEN YEARS OF ECHOES: BRIAN ENO-ARCHITECT OF AMBIENCE Brian Eno is not the most poplar figure in modern music. He isn't even the most popular on Echoes. But his music and influence pervades virtually every artist you hear on the show. His codification of Ambient Music in the 1970s alone would probably get him on this list. He lit the flame of ambient music and the New Age at the same time. But he's done so much more, collaborating with artists as diverse as David Bowie, Phillip Glass and Geoffrey Oryema, creating new musical aesthetics with each album he makes, and launching the careers of artists like Harold Budd, John Adams, Michael Nyman and many more. It was Eno and David Byrne who instigated Techno Tribal with "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" and Eno who created the gritty sonic aesthetic that informs every production of Daniel Lanois, Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake. Just last year, Eno's Music for Airports was reborn when performed by Bang On A Can. There is hardly a creative, modern musician, (emphasis on modern) who doesn't publicly acknowledge a debt to Brian Eno. And so do we with a rare two hour Echoes dedicated solely to Brian Eno's music and life. ***************************************************************** *denotes compilation ID# 99-J07-00197 Monday, October 4, 1999 (Echoes Program 41A) The Listener Poll: 25 artists for Ten years of Echoes ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour Optical Image Day After Interference Patrick O'Hearn Patience My Metaphor Friend Liz Story Captain April 17 Seconds to Anywhere Vas The Promise Offerings Vangelis Dawn The City Happy Rhodes Feed the Fire Warpaint Second Half Hour Brian Eno An Ending (Ascent) Apollo Paul Winter Canyon Lullaby Canyon Lullaby Enya Ebudae Shepherd Moons Robert Rich Lifeblood Propagation Dead Can Dance Cantara Within the Realm of a Dying Sun Will Ackerman Unconditional Sound of Wind Driven Rain Mike Oldfield Weightless Tubular Bells 2 Third Half Hour Tangerine Dream Exit Exit Steve Roach World's Edge World's Edge Afro Celt Sound Release Volume 2: Release System Kitaro Wings Tenku Clannad Ri Na Cruine Anam Fourth Half Hour Loreena Full Circle The Mask & Mirror McKennitt Michael Hedges Dirge Oracle Nakai, Eaton & Sonoran Raga Feather, Stone & Light Clipman Adiemus Adiemus Songs of Sanctuary George Winston The Cradle Forest Sheila Chandra Ever So Lonely/ Moonsung Eyes/Ocean Spacecraft Earthtime Earthtime Tapestry Tapestry ****************************************** WANT TO ADD ANY OF THESE CDS TO YOUR COLLECTION?
