The Echoes Podcast: Bluetech Takes Us to the Spacehop

Bluetech’s album, Spacehop Chronicles 2 is the Echoes CD of the Month for October and in the Echoes Podcast, we have Bluetech himself, Evan Bartholomew, talking about this electronic journey into orbit that sits between space music and trip-hop, all meditating on the journey of Laika, the canine cosmonaut that died in space.

Bluetech: For me, creating hope and the possibility of beauty and talking about fantastic sci-fi worlds and giving people a moment to escape and to feel larger than their lives is my approach and the only thing that I know how to do in response to chaos and what’s kind of going on around us.

In our review, we called Spacehop Chronicles 2 “definitive head-trip music for the 21st century.”  Bluetech takes us on a trip when we talk to him tonight on Echoes from PRX.
