FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 12/29/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH CODE INDIGO
In the East Suffolk studio of David Wright, the English group called Code Indigo unfolds the designs of their latest album, TIME CODE (AD MUSIC). Perched behind keyboards and computers and with singer Louis Eggerton, Code Indigo create an almost orchestral electronic expanse with Eggerton's vocalise cast out on a sea of synthesizers.

Tuesday 12/30/03
ADRIAN LEGG: RIPPED, RIGGED & ROOTS
Adrian Legg is truly a one of a kind guitarist. Possessed of a formidable finger picking style, his music has roots deep in English and American folk tradition, especially American banjo picking. But Legg is no traditionalist. His roots are ripped from the ground, played on a custom designed electric guitar, channeled through electronic enhancements and spun through some of the most gorgeously twisted melodies this side of a swamp vine. Legg talks about his techniques, which includes his pitch-bending tuning pegs and his idiosyncratic approach to the guitar.

Wednesday 12/31/03
AN ECHOES TECHNO-TRIBAL NEW YEARS STOMP
Each New Year, ECHOES revs up the Beats-Per-Minute and kicks out the jams for a New Year's Eve Techno-Tribal celebration. Drawing from the same well-springs of the usual ECHOES soundscape, ECHOES forms a seamless path into the new year, with music that dances in your head. John Diliberto matches beats and mixes atmospheres, riding the pulse of some of the newest ambient and techno-tribal music, creating the ultimate New Years Eve chill-out room. If your listeners are accustomed to ECHOES on Wednesday nights, this will be a special treat for them as we depart the year 2003 and welcome 2004.

Thursday 1/01/04
ESSENTIAL ECHOES FOR 2003
The listeners had their say, now we have ours when the Echoes staff picks their 25 Essential Echoes CDs for 2003. These are the discs that made us want to get up and produce a radio show everyday, music that pushed our envelope and reach a certain pinnacle of perfection. You'll hear our choices, on ESSENTIAL ECHOES FOR 2003.

Friday 1/02/04
NIGEL SHAW'S TRIBAL AMBIENCES
Nigel Shaw is an English composer who has spent most of his career probing the ancient spirit of England, especially Dartmoor where he lives on an 800 year old farm. For his new album called ANCESTORS (Seventh Wave Records), Nigel took recordings of Northern tribes including the Sami from Finland, and wove them into his own tapestry along with his wife, singer Carolyn Hillyer. In their loft barn studio, Nigel and Carolyn talk about touching an ancient spirit with modern hands.
