 INTRO: The history of human communication leans heavily on sound,
 like this Morse code — a now vanishing artifact of the telegraph
 era. Language depends on sound, of course, but there's one form
 of communication that's purely visual and lighter than air: smoke.
    In China and the Americas, smoke was used to send signals across
 the landscape for centuries. For most of human history, smoke was
 part of everyday life, but with environmental and health concerns,
 it looks like we won't be seeing as much of it in this century.
 Visually, it's too bad — a smoky autumn makes a romantic haze
 and really spectacular dawns and sunsets.
    Luckily, ambient music can make up for the atmosphere.
 On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a program of dark, hazy
 electronics and ethereal songs for Scorpio called SMOKE SIGNALS.
