INTRO: When the definitive history of 20th century music is
written, there will be a short but intense chapter on the
phenomenon called GOTHIC.

It is in this darkly ethereal environment that atmospheric
electronics, medieval dirges, and high-style romantic pop genres
like Gothic Rock, Dreampop, Darkwave, Goth-Industrial and
Goth-Metal intersect, cross-pollinate, and breed new shades
of crimson roses.

On this edition of Hearts of Space, we explore some of the
sounds and metaphors of this area of ethereal space music
on a program called GOTHICA.
