Eighty-One

This week, we'll explore the essentials. In fact, The Sun and water are the key ingredients for life, as we know it. I'd like to suppose cool music to that short list as well. We'll hear all three in the voice of Portal, Surbahar, Omihoshbin, Band of Mad Women, and The HellBus. I'm Jim Nye.

From the U.K., Scott Sinfield's signature gauzy sound heralds his project
Portal along with vocalist Rachel Hughes. From their Tristesse CD. This is 'Even The Sun'

There is much more at www.portal-music.com

Bulgarian multi-instrumentalist Pavel Stoychev's records as Surbahar. Bathe in the warmth of 'Radesha'

Find Pavel's many creative efforts at www.artmospheric.org


From Belgium, Omihoshbin takes up the CCMixter challenge and reworks Calender Girl's 'Underwater'

That was ' Water Song' by Band of Mad Women. Download the entire 'Rodopted' CD at www.ouim.net and look for 'Underwater at calendarsongs.com

Here is The Hellbus.

Sadly, Jon Cockner has put the brakes on this great project. Drop him a line at www.soundclick.com/hellbus if you'd like to put in a good word.

The same goes for this podcast look for show notes, scripts and links to the artists by stopping by www.idyllicmusic.com

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.
