#2108: Program #2108

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
John Schaefer hears his share of new recordings on an daily basis – so many, that it can a little tricky separating the wheat from the chaff. Still, he's done just that for our monthly new releases program. Featured will be selections from film soundtrack to The Hours, which uses the glacial, cyclical music of Philip Glass to underscore stories of three legendary women active in different eras (Glass fans will note references to his opera Satyagraha.) We also feature a cut from Ry Cooder's soon-to-be released collaboration with Manuel Galban (pictured right), a selection from the Drikung Kagyu Monks CD, Path of Mantra, and Tangerine Dream's latest, Inferno.

There's still time to vote in the New Sounds Listener Poll.Cast your ballot.
