Echoes Podcast – Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen
Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen's Post-Rock Space Music for the 21st Century: The Echoes Podcast
In the Echoes Podcast electronic artist Craig Padilla and guitarist Marvin Allen. They have released a quartet of albums that traverse the world of ambient, progressive rock and psychedelic music. Their latest is Unfolding Skies. It is Echoes April CD of the Month. Its cosmic sounds were all recorded in Craig Padilla’s living room.
Craig Padilla: We did the first song, and when it was done, Marvin goes, “Padilla, make another sequence.” And so he and my wife would go into the kitchen and just talk and I’d be out here just working on some other song ideas and then he’d go, “Ooh, that sounds good.”
Craig Padilla and Marvin Allen. You can hear so many influences in their music: Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Steve Hackett, Robin Trower, and more. But they distill these influences into their own post-cosmic brew, a meeting of psychedelic moods with inventive synthesizer arrangements and tastefully pyrotechnic guitar. It’s post-rock space music for the 21st century.
They talk about their journey and reveal the story behind “Jammin’ with Buddha” in the Echoes podcast.
