Ninety-Six

This week, we'll look beyond the Lost Horizon for the mythical places, hidden and elusive. They are known by names like El Dorado, Shangri-La, Avalon, Atlantis or Utopia. Guiding our way on this episode of Idyllic music are AguaFlames, Neko Neko, Alu, Neil Smith, Indidginus and Orange Crush. I'm Jim Nye.

We'll begin in the Russian Federation with a quartet of hugely talented Muscovites called AguaFlames. Their mix of ancient rhythms and electronics start us on the journey down the 'Lost Highway'
