Welcome to Echoes on RIU. I'm your host, John D cheechako. Kidding if you listened to Echoes, you would get that.
Some of you were thinking about side two of Meddle. Some of you don't think in album sides, but were still thinking about Pink Floyd. Not exactly. Echoes is a two hour music soundscape, broadcast on over one hundred stations. You can check echoes.org to find a radio station in your area or one you can stream.
From their web page: Echoes brings together a wide array of styles, from acoustic to electronic, jazz to space music, the avant-garde to rock. Echoes is a sound that is cross-cultural and trans-millennial, merging cultures and forms, technology and tradition, the ancient past and the possible future.
I'm having fun sharing music here. I have a wide range of tastes. I'm a big fan of the Ramones and posted them more than once, but you won't find them here. There's a lot you won't find in the Echoes soundscape. If you're not familiar with this soundscape, you're welcome to sit back and enjoy.
A few musical selections will explain this much better...
In 1987, three guitarists met at one of Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses. They toured with Fripp and The League of Crafty Guitarists. Afterwards, they moved to Los Angeles and formed the California Guitar Trio. The California Guitar Trio has opened for King Crimson, performed with the Montreal Guitar Trio, and released numerous albums including many original works.
However, we'll begin with a cover. Since some of you assumed we would get to Pink Floyd's Echoes here it is, as performed by the California Guitar Trio.
p.s. This thread is already a success (for me) just because I found this awesome live performance when putting it together.
