Halloween

PGM 891 “GHOSTS” : Halloween week 2009…

Dark tones echo across a stony gray-green
soundscape, ringed by gloom and decay. It’s a world of strange smoky
atmospheres and floating voices, punctuated by massive attacks and
harsh metallic sounds, both chilled…and fiery.

Sounds like some kind of trippy video game, doesn’t it?

Now imagine one that takes you on the journey, but without the game.
That, spacefans, is what electronic music was born to do.

We mark this All Hallows’ Eve transmission of Hearts of Space in the
anxious year of 2009, with a journey through sonic underworlds —
gray-green and smoky black, adorned with crimson accents and diaphanous
silvery sounds — on a program called GHOSTS.

Music is by TOR LUNDVALL, HOPE SANDOVAL, RICHARD BONE, BUILDING THE CATHEDRAL, BETWEEN INTERVAL, JOE RENZETTI, MINGO, and TROUM.

PGM 679 “TRANSMIGRATION” : Week of Oct. 31st…

Of all the year’s transformations, the autumn transit of the astrological house of SCORPIO is perhaps the most challenging, for it is during this period that humans must confront the reality of death and decay. As the sun withdraws, the natural world withers and dies, and we enter a gloomy realm attended by superstition, fear, and doleful emotions. These are the dark times…that try our souls.

Yet in these ultimate tribulations lie the seeds of future growth. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a cathartic journey for Scorpio called TRANSMIGRATION.

Music is by MARK SNOW, LISA GERRARD & PATRICK CASSIDY, ZOAR, VEIL OF SECRECY, KELLY DAVID, STEVE ROACH & ELMAR SCHULTE, VIDNA OBMANA, and KLAUS SCHULZE.
