The advent of the astrological house of Scorpio each year brings with it the ambient sub-genres of Gloom, Gothic, and Dark Atmospheres. This music displays a romantic quest for strangeness, a taste for the ominous, and a fascination with darkness, death, and decay that’s appropriate for the fall season—and celebrated on All Hallow’s Eve.
Grief, fear, depression, doleful lamentations, and solemn processions are expressions of the season, but this music has a mysterious restorative power that comes from the emotional confrontation with challenging feelings. The Greeks called it…catharsis.
On this Scorpio transmission of Hearts of Space, it’s another Dark Ambient journey for Halloween, on a program called ‘DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE.’ Music is by RICHARD BONE, STEVE ROACH & SORIAH, INSECTARIUM, AJNA, SUN’S MUSE, ARGYRE PLANITIA, and MOUNT SHRINE.

The annual tradition i hope for every year. The voice was a bit jarring at first but when you spoke up in your normal voice at the end i knew all was right with the world. Guess I am a proto goth at heart i adore your Halloween presentations immensely.
Spooky show as always Stephen, i mean Dr. Darko 😉
Thank you, Dana. We thought Dr. Darko did a great job!
