Idyllic Music Podcast

Trip Hop - Electronica - Downtempo

Episode 115

Welcome to the Idyllic Music Podcast featuring the melodic and rhythmic, the charmingly simple and deceptively complex.

Idyllic Music can be Trip Hop or Ambient, Jazz, Dub or Downtempo. In short, headphone electronica. Music as cool as a gentle summer stream.

This week, we'll look at the tension created when fashion comes full circle. As Massive Attack's Tricky points out you have "A dread of the past and fear of the future. You're brand new, You're retro" Finding that singular point for us on the edition of Idyllic Music are Polished Chrome, Return To Mono, Letters In Numbers and Cassettes Won't Listen. I'm Jim Nye.

We'll start with German producer Marc Chrome reveling in 'First Experience'

We'll close with the decidedly analog Cassettes Won't Listen and 'Paper Float'

Visit the Cornershop where you can help support many of the artists you hear on Idyllic Music by buying a song or CD from them.

There is also a book corner with where you can browse through 20 great music books including Miles Davis's autobiography and the Trouser Press Guide to Music.

And look for all 4 Volumes of The Idyllic Music iMix.

Thanks for listening. I'm Jim Nye.
