Echoes Remembers. We lost many artists from the world of Echoes this year. We remember some whom we’ve lost, including David Darling, Chick Corea, Malcom Cecil and Jon Hassell.
We talk to Marconi Union, a true 21st century band. The British electronic trio has a new album out that finds them tapping a more rhythmic, drum driven sound, even though there are no drums.
Echoes doesn’t have 12 days of Christmas but we do have 12 months of Echoes CD of the Month Picks. We’ll go through all of them, first forward from January and then backwards.
Get your wish list out for Christmas. It’s the Best of Echoes 2021. In a tumultuous year, John Diliberto finds the 30 albums that will bring you peace, joy and adventure.
Winter Tales brings together artists from Ambient Chamber and Neo-Classical music plus Brian & Roger Eno to take traditional Christmas songs and send them into serene space.
The Holidays are coming and we have your soundtrack with a new collection called Winter Tales, the Echoes December CD of the Month. Enjoy new works for the season from artists you already love.
We visit the Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project, EMEAPP. It’s a museum of electronic instruments from the earliest devices through Keith Emerson’s keyboard rig and beyond.
It’s a Whole Lotta Love for Led Zeppelin when we talk with Bob Spitz, author of Led Zeppelin: The Biography. He takes us from poverty to Kashmir, drugs to death and heavy metal to heaven.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, we go Into The Majestic with Steve Roach, which taps his more celestial electronic side. We’ll also hear music from Grandbrothers and their album of enhanced piano.
Two generations of German electronic musicians team up when Lambert Ringlage works with a former member of Tangerine Dream, Johannes Schmoelling. We’ll also hear some instrumental Peter Frampton.
