PGM 771 : "FOREST PRIMEVAL"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : cool sounds from the tropical rainforest
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-30-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Bubbling up from the tropical night, a sultry, ethereal
soundscape beats slow time against the eternal rhythm of the
crickets. The rainforest is a complex sound that's inspired several
generations of ambient and spacemusic composers. We're
attracted by its wildness, beauty, and overwhelming richness --
an antidote, perhaps, to our safe, predictable urban routine.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we explore this
exotic soundscape on a program called FOREST PRIMEVAL.

PGM 770 : "THERMALS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : flying and floating spacemusic for summer
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-23-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Flying and floating: two weightless activities we associate
with the airy skies and watery delights of summer. Of course,
spacemusic allows you to fly and float all year 'round, but
somehow it's even more enjoyable in the warm weather months.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we ride the air
currents and float on blissful waves...on a program of ambient
electronics for summer called THERMALS.

PGM 459R : "SIX STRING RELIGION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : focus on the contemplative acoustic guitar
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-16-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The guitar, ladies and gentlemen: a small instrument with
a big history. If all you've heard lately is the electric version
screaming out of stacks of big speakers at a rock concert, you
might forget that the roots of the instrument lie in the lutes
of the Arabian nomads. Back then, portability was the thing,
not volume.
On this edition of HEARTS of SPACE called SIX STRING RELIGION,
we're gonna see what some of the leading six string preachers
of today have to tell us.

PGM 769 : "BALEARICA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey in the Mediterranean soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-09-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The Balearic Islands — Mallorca, Minorca, Ibiza, and
Formentera — occupy prime real estate in the Mediterranean Sea,
just off the eastern coast of Spain. In ancient times, it was a
tough neighborhood; the islands were invaded successively by the
Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs,
and finally, the Aragons.
These days things are lively, but a lot quieter — they're all
popular tourist destinations, home to a tapestry of musical
cultures that matches their multi-cultural past, and an up-to-date
vibe that runs from acoustic to electronic, sensual to chilled.

PGM 768 : "PAISLEY MUSIC"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an AL GROMER KHAN retrospective
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-02-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: With this languid blues, we begin a journey into the
exotic ambient music of German artist AL GROMER KHAN.
Every real artist has a story, and his begins with a concert
of Indian music by VILAYAT KHAN he attended as a young man in the
1960s. So powerful was the impression it made upon him that he
immediately decided to devote his life to the study of the sitar,
eventually changing his surname and becoming the first European
member of the khan-i-garana — a lineage of Indian musicians.
While Indian at heart, he retained his German work ethic and
comfort with technology — which served him well during a long
and productive career marked by over 20 solo albums and 16
collaborations on a dozen record labels. Inspired by the sublime
aesthetics of the Mughul culture of 17th century India (which
produced the Taj Mahal), his subtle, poetic style of contemplative
music is marked by an effortless originality. Whether using the
latest electronics or a three-thousand year old Indian instrument,
no one sounds quite like him.
