"EMUSIC," an electronic, ambient, and space music show, airs each Thursday
at 11:04 pm on WDIY 88.1 FM, Allentown and Bethlehem, PA and 93.9 FM in
Easton, PA and Phillipsburg, NJ.
Show #248 December 20, 2001.
RECAP:
On this show, I continued the month-long focus on Orbital Decay, a band from
near-by Quakertown. Influenced by the likes of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shulze,
and Pink Floyd, Orbital Decay makes electronic space music with the
improvisational qualities and the energy of fusion styles from the 70s. As a
special holiday treat, Orbital Decay will perform a live, in-studio, on-air
concert during the December 27th program. The Featured CD at Midnight was the
band's self released CDR "Orbital Decay."
The vinyl show starter, a new feature of the show leftover from WDIY's Salute
to Records, was by Mark Isham.
