Idyllic Music Podcast

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 need to move beyond our troubled pasts and embrace hope for the future. Each of these tracks evokes a specific moment particular to American history over the past 25 years. We'll hear from Downliners Sekt, Naoned, Sans Edge, Tryad and Silence. I'm Jim Nye.

We,ll begin with Downliners Sekt with vocalist Emma Louise Yohanan from their 'Statement of Purpose' CD this is 'Weather Underground'
