I believe everyone watched at least one episode of "Globe Trekker" (or "Lonely Planet" until a number of years ago) on Discovery Channel. Awesome show. Anyway, I also do believe many have noticed the show's soundtrack, a very interesting knitting of ethnic elements in electronic arrangements.
Composed by British musician Ian Ritchie in 1994-1995, that original soundtrack still runs in today's episodes of "Globe Trekker" (or is it called "Pilot Guides" now?). And to no wonder, it's bloody fantastic! That's not today's feature however, but we have something equally good in store: a jazz track from Ritchie's Paradiso project, entitled "Solaris". A smart blend of acoustic sound and electronic feeling (though it may be possible it was recorded with a live band, I really don't know; nevertheless, the feeling is electronic).
If you like this make sure to also check the soundtrack to "Globe Trekker" and visit www.ian-ritchie.com for a lot of free music from Mr. Ritchie.
