PGM 684R : "GLACIER BAY"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an electronic journey to the heart of winter
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-24-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Cold, clear and quiet, we drift through frozen
lakes and glacial terrain on a journey to the heart of winter.
It's a sound of tiny movements locked within great static
masses, deep drones and crystalline accents, punctuated by
the reverberation of great natural events.

PGM 757 "ELECTROSPHERE"

PGM 757 : "ELECTROSPHERE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient/electronic/melodic/chordal spacemusic
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-17-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Electronic music has been evolving for the better part
of a century now. The novelty has come and gone, and in recent
years, electronics have found their way into dozens of genres.
But there's one place where it really feels like home: electronic
spacemusic.
Whether cruising across distant starfields, drifting through
clouds of interstellar dust, or just floating peacefully in the
good ole cosmic soup, spacemusic takes us to a galaxy far,
far away. That may be escapism, but hey, we like it. We might
even need it. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we harvest
a nice crop of melodic/chordal spacemusic on a program called
ELECTROSPHERE.

PGM 756 "PIANOSCAPES 3"

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM 756 : "PIANOSCAPES 3"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : piano, personal and contemplative
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-10-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In its three hundred year history, the piano has grown
both larger and smaller, gone electric and then electronic, and
been the anchor and reference point for a sizeable fraction of
Western music. Through it all, the range, versatility, rhythmic
clarity and melodic appeal of the instrument has kept it at the
forefront of music from pop, to jazz, to classical.
For a few rare artists, the piano can be magically transformed
into a personal voice -- a heart to heart communication channel
direct to the listener. On this transmission of Hearts of Space,
we listen for that personal touch, on a contemplative journey
called PIANOSCAPES 3.

PGM 755 : "NORDIC FLIGHT"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : crystalline, passionate Arctic spacejazz
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-03-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The yearning, glacial sound of Norwegian musician
JAN GARBAREK's tenor saxophone. It's traveled far and wide
from his home base at the Arctic edge of Europe. He was the
very first artist on the indispensable ECM label. In fact,
it's hard to imagine ECM without Norway; many of the musicians
are based there, and Oslo is ground zero for Rainbow Studios,
home of the crystalline, passionate ECM sound.
