We head into space on the next Echoes when we hear music by Paul Ellis & Pabellón Sintético. It’s a trip through sequencer melodies and synchronized rhythms from Veiled Portraits.
On the next Echoes, we swing into music by Hammock. On their album, The Second Coming Was a Moonrise, they harken back to their earlier sound with a little more energy and drums.
We’ll hear a track from the second EP in a trilogy by sitarist Anoushka Shankar: Chapter II – How Dark It Is Before Dawn. We’ll also hear a classic long track by Sally Oldfield.
Music by Robert Schroeder. He was one of the last musicians to release recordings in the classic sequencer 1970s. He has a recent album that expands on that sound, called Observer.
Remember Modern English? Mara Katria does and she has a new collaboration with the band called Modern M. The music is moody and anthemic, a modern extrapolation of a New Wave classic sound.
Music by Dean and Britta. Since leaving the band Luna, they’ve been making their own dream-pop music. They have a release called A Peace of Us. We’ll also hear Slowdive remixed.
It’s an Ancient Echoes when we look back on Michael Garrison. He was among the first American artists to pick up on the sound of German electronic music in the 1970s and 80s.
March brings us a CD of the Month from Falling You, the project of John Michael Zorko who has been crafting deep, moody dream pop tracks with a bevy of different singers for 3 decades.
