Every 100 shows we take a retrospective look at some aspect of the musical world of Hearts of Space. Over the last 20-plus years, we've covered everything from the Pachelbel Canon to the roots of electronic space and ambient music — from the German electronic music of the 1970s, to the intersection of spacemusic and rock — with a stop along the way for a tribute to JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.
On this 800th edition of Hearts of Space, a report on the ongoing diffusion of the space and ambient sound into the world of popular music, with songs by PORCUPINE TREE, COLDPLAY, PORTISHEAD, GONG, DAVID BOWIE, RADIOHEAD, SIGUR ROS and THE GRATEFUL DEAD, plus rock infused spacemusic by ASHRA, LABRADFORD, and JON DURANT.
We called Pgm. 600 "When Space Met Rock"...so naturally this one's called "WHEN ROCK MEETS SPACE."
