Karl Hyde's Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker presents eclectic ambient music by a new generation of composers, and Underworld鈥檚 Karl Hyde sits in the Listening Chair, choosing a record that transports him.

Elizabeth Alker surveys the landscape of contemporary ambient recordings, with songs that soothe, spiral, and soar.

In a repeat of a programme first broadcast in October, she invites Karl Hyde, one half of the seminal electronic duo Underworld, into the Listening Chair, for a transportive and surprising selection. Far from the ecstasy of late-night dance floors, Karl鈥檚 pick is a haunting piece of choral music made famous by 2001: A Space Odyssey. Elsewhere, Helado Negro鈥檚 new album is full of bright, jubilant pop songs that have been smudged around their edges, and the DJ known as Ross From Friends delivers a record of soaring and emotional house music.
