PGM 852 : "PARVAZ (Flight)"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the poetic world of Persian fusion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-26-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: Iran was in the news again this week, as its president
gave a theology lecture to members of the United Nations
General Assembly. Iran's nuclear program and involvement
with the conflict in Iraq could hardly be more controversial,
and all the political smoke effectively obscures the work of
Persian artists and musicians working to enrich an artistic
tradition that extends back before recorded history.
Parvaz is the Persian word for flight, and it's a rich metaphor
for a culture that has grown wings outside its homeland.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we fly into the
sublime world of Persian fusion music...on a program called
PARVAZ.
The rise of a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy in Iran in the
1980s had one unintended consequence: it helped to resurrect
Persian classical music, which had been devalued in the era of
Western cultural influences. The cross-cultural process continues
today, underground in Iran, and in Europe and the U.S., where
Persian artists are combining elements from their traditions
with contemporary sounds and instruments from other cultures.

PGM 851 : "AFTERBURN"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an end-of-summer acoustic guitar excursion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-19-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: Summer might actually seem endless in these globally
warmed days, but eventually even the sun submits to the laws
of orbital geometry, and our northern hemisphere begins to cool
as it tilts away from the sun.
In music, the change of seasons is marked by a slower pace,
a darker mood, and a tinge of melancholy in the harmonies.
With its naturally bittersweet tonality, it's a good time to revisit
the ambient acoustic guitar.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an end-of-summer,
mostly acoustic guitar journey called AFTERBURN.

PGM 850 : "TIKITRONICA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a retro-future-ambient-lounge journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-12-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
INTRO: You're listening to PAUL HASLINGER's tribute to late
1950s space-age exotica, a genre popularized by creative, eclectic
arrangers like MARTIN DENNY and JUAN-GARCIA ESQUIVEL.
Lovingly revived in the early 1990s under the banner "Space Age
Bachelor Pad Music" or just "Space Age Pop," its influences are
still with us in the quietly expanding genres of Chill, Downtempo,
Ambient Lounge and other variants of laid-back electronic exotica.
The appeal is clear: a nice cold cocktail, some cool beats and
ambient electronics makes a perfectly relaxing space for social-
izing. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a retro-future-
ambient-lounge journey called TIKITRONICA. Turn it up and call
your friends...
