Idyllic Music Podcast 52

Flattery

Sometimes dubbed The Bristol Sound because of its reputed place of birth, Trip Hop often features urban beats, sometimes drenched in echo and reverb to create a trippy, eerie, almost menacing sound. The term is often dismissed by the artists most closely associated with it.

This week we'll look at flattery in its more sincere form with five bands that readily show their influences while remaining unique and individual. They are Day One Symphony, Electric Salmon, The Chill Conspiracy, Tricky and DRT. I'm Jim Nye.

We'll start out with imaginative San Jose-based Day One Symphony featuring Vocalist David Knight. This is 'Isosceles'

Look to www.dayonesymphony.com for more. We were introduced to Electric Salmon on Episode 39. The melancholia is almost palpable with 'Disintegrate'

Taste more Electric Salmon at Soundclick Swiss Downtempo favorites The Chill Conspiracy are back again with 'Karma (so close)'

The whispers continue at www.myspace.com/thechillconspiracy From his 'Vulnerable' CD that was Tricky and 'Antimatter'.

we'll close with the hypnotic, subsonic dub of DRT and 'A Long Way Down' Hear more at www.soundclick.com/drt For more on this podcast including show notes, scripts and links to the artists, log on to www.idyllicmusic.com
