INTRO: This week we mark our 1100TH program and 33rd year of
national broadcasting with another of our centennial specials.
This time we're going to depart from our normal wordless all-
instrumental format and bring you a special collection of epic
and contemplative electro-Ambient songs from the ethereal world
of "Dream Pop."
I know, this violates one of the prime directives of Ambient music
programming, because song lyrics in a language you understand
engage your cognitive mind and force your brain to listen differ-
ently from the diffuse, spatially aware way you listen to Ambient
music.
It's a shame, because some of the world's most talented and
successful artists, producers and engineers put their hearts and
souls and Ambient sensibilities into these often awesome recordings.
Even typical verse/chorus songs can deliver stirring sound images
and passionate performances, while other artists create songs that
march through vast virtual spaces, build monumental chorales
inherited from the classical repertoire, or create the intimate
contemplative spaces we love in non-vocal forms of Ambient music.
Sure, sometimes the subject matter is mundane, but there's an
emotional reason that popular songs rule the charts and move
millions. If you ignore what pop song artists are doing with
Ambient sounds, you're gonna miss some transcendent music. So,
on this centennial show, why not see what some of our pop song
creators have been up to?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the halls of
Dream Pop, on a program called SPACE SONGS.
