The electronic pop of Ladytron. We talk to this band from England who have been creating electrified pop sounds for all of the 21^st Century. They released their latest album, the introspective Time’s Arrow, early in 2023. Their 2005 song, “Seventeen” became a TikTok sensation in 2021. Ladytron’s Helen Marnie and Daniel Hunt tell us their story and about their latest album, Time’s Arrow. Whatever you do, don’t call it a post-pandemic album.

Then we celebrate Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells at 50. Released on May 25th, 1973 everyone now recognizes those opening notes.  It still feels like the sound of tomorrow.  Mike Oldfield is the 11th of 30 Icons of Echoes for the incredible music he has made over the last 50 years and some 25 albums. Tubular Bells remains his signature work.  As we celebrate Tubular Bells  we go  back to a documentary we put together for the 40th anniversary. It’s still the same album, so not much has changed in the intervening years. Hear the story of Mike Oldfield and Tubular Bells in the Echoes Podcast.
