INTRO: The Cosmic Journey school of electronic spacemusic
includes soundtracks for imaginary sci-fi movies, deep-drifting
stellar soundscapes, and spiritual innerspace explorations.

With its tonal flights across the galaxies and vast cosmic dramas,
the genre appeared to be an artifact of the 1980s. Like progressive
rock, it seemed to implode at its peak — a victim, perhaps, of its
own considerable success...and the fact that it takes real
inspiration and talent to do it well.

Artists like CONSTANCE DEMBY, IASOS and MICHAEL STEARNS
in California, JONN SERRIE in Atlanta, VANGELIS and KLAUS
SCHULZE in Europe, TOMITA, STOMU YAMASHTA and KITARO
in Japan, created an ethereal, expansive, cosmic sound that
found kindred spirits in symphonic composers like GUSTAV
HOLST, RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, ALAN HOVHANESS,
and the monumental sound cathedrals of BACH.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space called STELLAR
VISIONS, we're pleased to report that the genre's still alive,
with new artists and fine new work — at least in California.
