Some of the music I most enjoy comes from Echoes. To borrow directly from Echoes' "Intro" page :
"Echoes is a daily two-hour music soundscape, distributed by Public Radio International and broadcast on over 150 radio stations from Maine to California. With host John Diliberto, a writer for Billboard, Pulse and other magazines, Echoes brings together a wide array of styles, from acoustic to electronic, jazz to space music, the avant-garde to rock. Echoes is a sound that is cross-cultural and trans-millennial, merging cultures and forms, technology and tradition, the ancient past and the possible future."
While it is available as a radio broadcast from remotely located PRI radio stations, none are in my little corner of the world, the greater Los Angeles area. So I pony-up for the on-line subscription. Have a listen sometime, and see if you think it's worth it. (Hint: Several of the radio stations also broadcast on the Internet, e.g. via iTunes and/or their own web sites.)
