INTRO: The grand and glorious tradition of sacred singing comes
front and center each year during the winter holiday season.
In churches and cathedrals, concert halls and street corners,

This year, we need it more than most.

and traditional sacred music for the holiday season called

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a seasonal acoustic celebration

FEED DATE : 12-12-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As the winter chill creeps into our souls, we return
to one of the oldest and most rewarding human traditions:
the singing of hymns.

With timeless melodies cherished over thousands of years,
songs of praise, prayer and adoration never lose their appeal —
especially during difficult times — and the end of the year
holiday season when, singing together, the human family
renews its commitment to generosity, peace and goodwill
to all.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a seasonal acoustic
celebration called WINTER HYMNS.

PGM 858 : "RESOLUTION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient electronica for problem-solving
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-05-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Winter 2008: the weather is freezing...while the economy
is melting. With all the talk of recession, war, terrorism, and
planetary crisis, it's no wonder everyone's a little depressed.
Admit it, spacefan, you're wistful for those carefree days of
escapist entertainment and unlimited resources to squander.

Well, we know we can't go back, but how about an hour of
shiny new electronic waveforms while we focus on fixing things?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an hour of ambient
electronica to energize and calm the mind for problem-solving
called RESOLUTION.
