PGM 452R : "OCEANIC"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : oceanic sonics and the romance of the sea
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-03-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As deep as the ocean...as wide as the sea...goes the
popular phrase. At over 70% of our planet, the ocean is not only
the largest, but the most important natural feature on earth;
the source of all life, the engine of the weather — not to
mention an endless supply of metaphors. Musicians have long
been inspired by its vast expanse, its awesome power, its
mysterious depths.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a program of romantic spacemusic inspired by the ocean, called
OCEANIC.

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 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...

synthesizers — on a program called A BOWL OF LIGHT.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey into the quiet heart of Africa
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-29-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The lilting songs of the Baka pygmies of Cameroon have
achieved international fame through the efforts of sympathetic
Western musicians. Just as DNA research has shown that Africa is
the origin point of the human species, in the last 200 years, the
infectious rhythms and harmonies of African music have bred new
styles of western music — originally laying the foundation for
blues, jazz and other forms of popular music, and more recently,
spawning a host of brilliant variations of what we now call
World Music.

While the majority of African music is for dance and celebration,
there's also a more contemplative sound. On this transmission
of Hearts of Space, we journey through the rhythms into the quiet
heart of African music...on a program called AFRICAN GENESIS.

FEED DATE : 8-22-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Here in the days of "water cubes" and Olympic size
indoor pools, summer is the time we renew our relationship
with water. In ocean, lake, river and pool, we immerse ourselves
in earth's most precious fluid. And when we do, one of the most
agreeable sensations is one of the simplest: just...floating.

Floating is the goal-less, relaxed, "here and now" side of
swimming. And it's also something we enjoy in space and
ambient music, as we float in oceans and rivers...of sound.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey called
THE FLOAT ZONE.

PGM 848 : "READING THE BONES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a techno-triba-delic journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-15-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: It's all so clear in retrospect. The electronic music
revolution of the 1970s empowered artists to explore a new
palette of ethereal sounds and unnatural atmospheres.
In less than 10 years, a new musical language emerged in
Europe, the U.S., and Japan, and spread around the world.
By the 1980s, they looked around...and it was good.

But it didn't take long before a few of these artists realized
that something was missing: the vital, rhythmic foundation
of ethnic and primitive music, famously built into rock from
the African roots of Rhythm & Blues. So just as early 20th
century painters looked to Africa, Polynesia, and other ancient
cultures for vitality and connection to the archaic human
experience — electronic musicians "went tribal."

The moment was marked by STEVE ROACH's famous trip to
the Australian outback and his 1988 album "Dreamtime Return,"
a title that wraps up the idea in two well-chosen words.
But other artists were already moving in this direction, first
crossing cultural barriers and then heading back in time,
to the roots of music and sound itself.

The genre that emerged was called "techno-tribal" —
a psycho-acoustic, trance-ambient music that combined
electronics, atmospherics, ethnic percussion (rainsticks,
rattles, drums), and didgeridoos. The combination possessed
some of the psychedelic powers of its shamanic forbears,
and it lives on today.

PGM NOTE : the edge of world/space, with a focus on India

FEED DATE : 8-08-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Wandering the streets of New Delhi, Cairo, Teheran or
Tangiers these days, you'd probably hear everything from Elvis
to the Ayatollah, but one thing's for sure: the age of exotic
mixtures of music from all over the world is a fact of life.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective series edition of a
1996 Hearts of Space program called EXOTICA, we continue our
exploration of world spacemusic, with a focus on India.

INTRO: When the sun is high and the sky is the deepest blue,
a space fan's thoughts turn to that matchless vehicle for flight,
the infinite, expanded, atmospheric guitar.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, it's time for another
installment of our longest running series — SPACE GUITARS.
This time we venture out to the edge of the stratosphere and
into the rarefied spaces beyond the sky, on a program called
SPACE GUITARS 8.

PGM 846 : "ECHOES OF SPAIN"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the Andalusian roots of the Spanish guitar
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-25-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The evolution of the Spanish guitar, beginning with the
nomadic Arabic lute, through North Africa and into Moorish-era
Spain — is easy to forget. Today the guitar has found its way
into a hundred other genres and musical contexts, from African
to Country to Heavy Metal. Yet there's something that just
sounds natural in the Andalusian roots of the Spanish guitar
and the Mediterranean music that developed from it.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we focus on the
Spanish guitar...on a program called ECHOES OF SPAIN.

worry about these days, good old sunshine and heat still inspire
our bodies to move, explore, and expand, while our minds open up
to new sounds.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we mix up a refreshing
cocktail of summer electronica, world rhythms, cool horns and
trancey vocals, on a program called SUMMERTRONICA 3.

PGM 347R : "ELECTRONIC DREAMS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : electronic spacemusic in the grand tradition
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-11-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Now there's a sound that got a lot of people excited
back in 1978: the rich, mysterious, romantic, oh-so-French
electronic music of JEAN MICHEL JARRE, from EQUINOXE.

One of only a handful of electronic musicians to achieve
popular stardom, Jarre continues to perform all over the world.
His free outdoor sound and light concerts in Houston, Paris,
Moscow, China, and a 12-hour spectacular at the Great
Pyramids in Egypt for the Millennium celebration, have set
records as the largest public music events in history,
with audiences of up to 3.5 million.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts
of Space, a program of spacemusic in the grand tradition —
intensely emotional music that takes off from the orchestral
tone poem and navigates into uncharted electronic space.

PGM 844 : "AMERICAN CROSSROADS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : music for a time of change
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-04-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Every July 4th, we celebrate America's independence with
food, fun, and fireworks. For as long as most of us can remember,
everything that's good about America — our diversity, freedom,
individuality and self-assurance — has been proudly on display.

This year, our celebration is tempered by a growing awareness of
the great challenges we face in national, global and even planetary
affairs. You have to look back to the 1930s to find a comparable
period, but even those challenges seem limited by comparison.

So this year we celebrate the founding of America with the knowledge
that American ideals and the American character are being tested.
If Americans can respond positively to the challenges we face, we
may look back on this period as the time of America's maturity.

American music today reflects the maturing of our melting-pot of
cultural traditions — hymns, folk and popular songs, blues, jazz,
electronica, maverick classical, ethnic rhythms, and immigrant
genres — a complex panorama of musical sources, freely invented
and reinvented. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we listen
for the reflective side of the American soundscape, on a program
called AMERICAN CROSSROADS.
