This was the kickoff program of the nationally syndicated Hearts of Space Public Radio show in January 1983. It's perhaps the best example of the creative mix of contemplative jazz, classical, electronic, world and new age music that remains the central innovation of the program.

The program has defined its own niche -- a mix of ambient, electronic, world, new age, classical and experimental music.
