"HEARTS OF SPACE" Radio Program Tape from 1984
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 เม.ย. 2019
- These cassettes were recorded off of the “Hearts OF Space” radio show hosted by Stephen Hill in the early 80s, on what was WABE public radio broadcasting. I just finished transferring these tapes to the computer today. Recorded on these tapes are two of Stephen Hill’s HOS playlists. One tape has recorded on it Hill’s playlist entitled “Pleasure Cruise” which was aired in April 1983, and the other cassette has his “Electric Snowflakes” playlist recorded to it, which was in winter on 1984. Also a section of “The Traveler” playlist from 1987 is recorded on these. There is a lot of great tunes on here I haven’t heard in a very long time! There are even a few I had completely forgotten about, especially on the “Pleasure Cruise” playlist, where Stephen focused on very early electronic, space music from the late 70s and early 80s. The third tape has some unidentified “new age” music tunes recorded on it from around 1987. I believe those tunes may have been recorded off of a local radio program at that time that featured mainly new age music and soft jazz music, I can’t recall the name of the program. Also, some of them may be from a ‘New Age Special Focus’ program recorded off of 94Q Jazz Flavours. The Dave Grusin and Yellowjackets songs at the end are definitely recorded from 94Q’s Jazz Flavours. The unknown tunes are VERY intriguing, hopefully we will eventually be able to figure them out! Enjoy the ambiance!

Hello teacher, are you sure that the song of the minute
46:34 is Synchestra - Electric Snowflake? I downloaded it and it is not the same song
@@shiner421 Great question and this is the exact question I asked last night! Now I am returning to see if anyone replied and I came across your post (mine seems to have vanished, but oh well). I am dying to know more about this track as well. It hits al the sweet spots for me and stirs up sad and happy emotions all at once. The atmosphere, moody synths and fretless bass are superbly arranged. Moving melody and lovely drum machines interweaving at the gentle crescendo.
Anyhow, if you are looking for similar music, you may find the LP "L'amour" by an artist simply known as Lewis. It' was recorded circa 1984 and didn't get any exposure until 2014. It is quite the ride and I think you will enjoy it!
I am very glad that someone else found the track similarly great. Hopefully someone will help us out. :) Cheers and many good wishes to you.
I have hundreds of programs that I have taped since the mid-eighties and listen to then EVERY night while I am reading in bed... Love the program...
I remember when I was a little girl laying in my bed and my dad would play these tracks every Sunday night. I remember it so clearly. Hot summer night, the windows are open.. fresh air coming in, the sound of the waves from the lake next to our house… always loved this guys soothing relaxing voice. Ahh the good ol days3
you married?
Suuurrrre. I hope they don't look for any D-NA!
What state did you grow up in? I remember growing up listening to these as a kid aswell. My mother and brothers, we would all get together Sunday nights and listen to them as well.
That name seems Bulgarian...

I'm sure most of you know that HOS is still on radio stations all over the US and many of them are streamed online. I've been listening since they started in 1983. Stephen Hill sounds older now, but he still says "Safe journey space fans, wherever you are" at the end!!
Anna Also presented the shows in 1983/4
I didn't know that. Thank you for the update! That's awesome! It used to be on Saturday nights here in the California State Capitol. I wonder when it can be found now? I don't know if I could go back to listening to it again so soon after losing my love. I could give it a try though! It might even help! Thanks again!
@@d.s.8053 my condolences to you.

HOS was first broadcast in 1973 on KPFA, Berkeley, CA.
This show meant so much to me. I grew up in the country in Georgia, and when it was all kinda crap, ignorance, and intolerance for me, I would drive my car way off on a dirt road, take my time, and...on Sunday nights...listen to Music from the Hearts of Space.
It was AMAZING being way out there (in the late 80's) and just being alone except for the radio waves hitting that car stereo.
Back then, you could easily be listening to an antenna 50 miles away. Now maybe it's 5 miles away.
One is not better than the other, but tuning into FM radio, especially from remote locations, was a unique and very interesting experience back then.
This reminds me of the best years of my life. I was broke but soooo happy. I would listen to this and Echoes. (Edited one later) I'm reading the comments on here and they're all such beautifully calm memories. Everybody is sharing the same experiences: they're either with loved ones on a peaceful drive or they are somewhere staring up at the night sky. This is such a beautiful thing.
I agree.
OMG …. haven't heard this in years …. I think there are more National Public Radio listeners than we thought! :)
I used to listen to this on Sunday nights in the 1980’s. Man, I am so old. Thank you for sharing this.
I was there too and I missed a lot of social events but I wouldn't complain speaking from the heart
Yes. . . once so long ago. . . . Before even this, I listened to a radio program called "Musical Star Streams" ca. 1984-1996. They began in December of '81, the very month I went remote in Alaska. Special times those were! [p.s. Does anyone know who the composer is 1:45:00? It sounds like Radhika Miller, but probably not.]
@@charlesklein7232 Yep grew up with this and the King Biscuit Flower Hour lol.
@@charlesklein7232 The King Biscuit Flower Hour was a radio program of concerts in the 1970's. I am strong enough not to need drugs.
charles klein ...It was actually The King Biscuit Flour Hour, as the radio show was sponsored by the King Biscuit baking flour 🤣
Safe journey Space fans. Wherever you are!

Goodnight from Boston💕

Back in the Autumn of 1985, I was bored with hardly anything good on the radio stations. I didn’t feel like going to Sunday school, and decided to take my son Christopher out to our usual donut delight hangout instead.
Fate must have met me that morning to a new awakening. While waiting for a very long train to pass in Widefield, Colorado, I decided to find anything good to listen to on the radio. Every station I could find made me more unsettled, and I nearly gave up. I then decided to try the far left channels on FM. Certain musical notes and subtle dreamy like synthesizers caught the attention of my Soul, and That was the most beautiful Sunday when I discovered HOS ! Hearts of Space became my new found religion. From that time on, I would record the programs onto 120 minute cassette tapes when I would go to church. I still have all those tapes with the program numbers and theme titles.
One of my favorite Japanese New Age artists is Kitaro, having heard his “Oasis” LP on HOS. I enjoyed it so much that I had to special order it from a record store downtown in Colorado Springs. Yes, I still have that LP in mint condition too ! Omg!, I have so many cassettes and numerous of the ones I recorded onto 90 and 120 minutes cassette tapes.
Now that I’m in Wallingford, CT, I’ll pick up HOS on 91.1 FM but now in my mid 60’s, any sleep is appreciated but I don’t wish to fall asleep inside my truck which is my only means of hearing this music.
Safe Journey, Space Fans... Wherever You Are... ~ lol

i have kitaro silk road on home made cassette
love this
I remember hanging out with a girlfriend back in Indiana, in 1998 listening to this program and looking out her window at the stars. Didn’t have the internet then, like I do now. Not sure if it was a show still, back then or just re-broadcasted. Was doing some Brian Eno research and remembered “Hearts of Space” from that program. So here I am. Love it!
From 1981 to 1984 I was in High school to College. I would run almost every Sunday night to the stereo and pop in a fresh cassette to record an HOS program off of West Virginia Public Radio. Over the years I have lost every single cassette or they broke. After a while, even after scotch tape surgery, I was unable to rescue the collection. Thank you for this amazing memory.
I listened to Hearts of Space with Stephen Hill and Echoes with John Diliberto on WV public radio too.
Same here! I would lie in bed on a dark Sunday night in South Charleston and let the music carry me away!
I was in MED School, Great Lakes IL with the US NAVY. I would be up late working on my school work, washing clothes listening to this. I think that it was on a NPR Station out of Chicago. These programs got me through some tough times. I also have to shout out John Diliberto his show "Echos" came on either b4 or after this show. I am very Thankful for both programs. They gave me the energy to persevere. Thanks Strphen Hill, through music U have touched many...
I remember listening to this program at nights, I would lay in bed with the window open and headphones on , I could see the night sky with the stars, an occasional plane would fly by, well I hope it was a plane lol but this program took me on many many trips beyond earth. I love Ian Hills voice so tranquil n dreamy.
OMG I was the same way. I remember those cool spri g nights listening to the show. Man, to be back there again.
Did the same thing minus headphone though.
Stephen makes Whispering Bob Harris sound like Ian Paisley. The show feels like being locked in a planetarium overnight. Not in a bad way.
I seemed to always end up driving around town with my parents late Sunday nights and this program would end up playing on the radio just as we were about to get home. Then, I'd go to my room turn my radio on, and tune it into the program and continue listening. Always loved Hearts of Space.
though I didn't have this exact experience myself (born '86), I feel this. The only-child introvert in me would, without any doubt, take great solace in those moments.
DUDE! 😮 I’m so glad this exists. I have CPTSD related insomnia and this was the only thing I could fall asleep to when I was in my early teens. I didn’t know I had mental health issues back then. This show probably helped save my life. I was wishing I had it to listen to right now after a particularly bad bout following the recent death of my mama. I was her nighttime caregiver for nearly two years. Since she’s been gone the insomnia has taken up residence in the void. I’ve exhausted my library of sleep ambience, so I googled MFTHOS and couldn’t believe this existed. I love the internet. 🙌🏼
I listen for years in the early nineties I think it saved my life too
Used to listen to this outside on my deck. Looking up at the stars. I can't tell you how many times I fell asleep out there.....
OMG I had taped some of these shows and lost the cassette many years ago. Never dreamed I would ever find these particular songs again! THANKS!!!!!!!
Yes!
Precisely my reaction!
This is wonderful!
i am glad you could find it again!! :)
Thus the magic of the internet.
OMG I totally did the same thing! As a student at Michigan State University from 1983-1988, I studied to this music constantly! I’m not sure I can credit HOS with all of the successes I have achieved in life, but I damn sure would not have achieved the grades I did without HOS!! :)
I thought I was the only one!
This was one of my most favorite of the Hearts of Space shows that i heard when it was first broadcast on a public radio station here in New York State. I liked the music on this Hearts of Space show, because it was really alien sounding. It also helped me to relax. i got turned on to Electronic music in high school, and loved it ever since then.
Dang this takes me back. Stephen is the original master. It all started for me with his show. And I love him for it. The streamed version was actually the first internet "radio" station I listened to back in the 90's. On windows media player lol.
Pure gold. HOS was progressive and a balm for us Americans who never seemed to get enough European instrumental music. Mr. Hill's show tickled the ears mind and heart of listeners.
I've been listening to hearts of space Sunday nights on kpr, and then npr for almost 25 yrs now. It's a real treasure for many. I hope it lives long after I'm gone. Especially in this world of social media and instant everything, it is so nice to get simple, and grounded.
HOS Kpfa Sunday 11pm-2am. 1981 This music exposed me to my inner art self. It was indeed a launch pad into concentration, focus and other worlds. Found Brian Eno Music for Airports here,
the list goes on thanks for still being here.
often followed by Over The Edge. good grief, how my jaws ached after some of those nights, the involuntary smile beaming was real.
Brings back joyful memories, as a teen in the mid-80's, experimenting in my electronics lab at home while tuning in to HOS and Starstreams with Forest. Amazing how I used to be able to work all night, nowaways I can barely stay up past 10pm. Good times.
Smoke weed and still enjoy the program! I'm 66 and still doing it
KJC - I have so many hearts of space recorded on cassette tapes but no way to play them - thank you for the bottom of my heart for uploading these - God bless you :)
I used to listen to those broadcasts every Sunday night. Loved them.
I am rediscovering Hearts of Space finally....this cosmic show will always have a space in my heart. Thank you for the post
I used to LOVE this on an 70's/80's summer evening with the cool air coming in through the window :) .
@Billy Teague Me, for one! I listened to this at dusk, and was transported to the most peaceful 🌌 Space.
Unbelievable! Same here.
I had a card shop in Columbus, Ga. called Heart Notes and we sponsored this show on Georgia Public Radio for a few years..
And to think I was the only fan around! 🤣
Glad I found this
Glad you uploaded it
Glad I can go to sleep now...
Ahh... Hearts of Space.... I miss those days so much. Thanks
Like many other listeners have posted, I also enjoyed the HOS programs starting around 1983. I lived in a garage apt in Queens NY without true windows, but when I discovered this program my apt suddenly seemed very spacious (at least for an hour or so, along with some Maui wowie or Thaistick), I was hooked. Steven Hill's voice put me at peace. This is the the 2nd program I heard, and I was ready with a cassette to tape the hour-long show. I just read that Manuel Gottsching of Ash Ra passed away, so I wanted to trace my steps and hear Oceans of Tenderness again. what a beautiful piece. Very grateful to enjoy the memories and hear it again , I still have that cassette. Happy journeys to you all.
Urban pot smokers ruined the world.
the early 80s I was away at a rural college. and the dorm room I was in had a large window that looked out on a courtyard and fields beyond. I would listen to these shows looking out at snow covered landscape at night. They always bring me back to those memories. thank you.
omg...cant believe this is on youtube...I remember listening to this on a San Diego radio station (kpbs?) back in the day...thanks for posting!
My first experience with Clannad, Enya, Kitaro and a lot of others I can't recall
Same here. This was such a refreshing change from the music I already knew as a college guy-- classical, pop, rock, musicals, etc. With this program you soon got hooked on the genre and explored the work of Dean Evenson, Steven Halpern, Ottmar Liebert, David Lanz, Enya, Isao Tomita, Andreas Vollenweider, etc.
My dad used to play this for me on Sunday mornings when I was a kid. I think listening to these songs was the first time I really understood the power of art. I could close my eyes, and feel myself floating through a faraway galaxy.
On a freakish whim this music popped into my brain I really love this station, when I went back to Kansas i was surprised to have Hearts of Space ,now your back like an old friend. Thanks
Brings back memories. Listened to it in Oakland in the 80s. Loved it.
I just found out about Hearts of space from listening to NPR. I was very surprised that it has been around since the 70s.
Same here , wondered if I would ever find it again.
Better late than never. Welcome aboard.
This was one of my favorite radio programs growing up. You'd tune in on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. you only got it once week. There was no internet. I fell asleep every Sunday night to this. Turned me on to a whole other world of music. Glad this survives.
Thank you! HOS on public radio in VA was my reassurance on Saturday and Sunday nights when single and alone. The music was always positive and hopeful. It was good to know there were others of like mind and taste out there too---where ever they were........
Wow! This is so cool! I listened to The Hearts of Space show in the high school years. It was heard in the Central Valley, coming from KPFA in Berkeley and KFCF in Fresno.
I had literally hundreds of high quality cassette tapes of HOS programs from the early 1980's through the early 2000's. All are online now. It was definitely a pioneering program. One featured the entire one hour CD of Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno in 1990 that got a lot of us into Eno's ambient work. Great to see Steven Hill is still posting online all the time. I think he's over 1,000 programs now. Thanks for posting this!
Baby's On Fi ERRe lol
is this the program I hear on the radio driving from Flagstaff to Phoenix
I hooked into the program in about 1985/1986 and made a few cassette tapes. I've played "The Pulse" program hundreds of times. My fave! Was able reconstruct most of the playlist in Apple Music. :-) Thank you Stephen Hill! Travel well!
I'd stay up all night while attending UCSD from 1983 - 1986...listening to 'HOS' whilst studying.
Amazing flashback to dig on this again.
Love this capture. The 80's were chock full of great music.
Damn, I miss Hearts of Space. Nothing better than laying on the hood of your car, way out past the towns and the lights, watching the Milky Way with HOS cranked. Especially awesome if you had a lovely young companion laying next to you.
I second that! ;)
OHMY !! I listen to this program every sunday night and recorded it on cassette tape, this are my New Age musics roots I Was Sixteen years old, the voice sends me back in time !! . . . Thanks for posting this,
Haven't heard this program since the 80s..i used to record it on cassette off the radio every Sunday night then fall asleep to it..
That's what it was about
heck yah
You too? I did the same thing! LOVE THIS SHOW
Late to the party, but same.
I did as well..... so glad the internet allows me to reconnect.
So good. I miss hearing this. I was a kid, but it was left on by my mom.
Excellent recordings.I Thank you a Million!!.loved this program and it's music was Phenomenal.Thanks so Much!!!!
Id be getting off work at 11pm, tuning this show in to slow down, relax and expand a little...thanks for sharing these!
My favorite HOS program from the late 80's was one that featured Japanese music styles on Koto and Kalahachi flute. There was also an episode which featured the Irish harper Alan Stivel. SInce then those music styles have been favorites of mine. I used to record the episodes on cassette tape as well, that is why I remember it so fondly, I would listen to the tapes often.
I wish this were officially released somewhere. I could listen to these for hours.
You may want to check out Steven Hill's website (HOS) There is an archive there that goes back to the early 80's
I have been recording Hearts of Space since "Crystal Light" in late '85. It was on Butler University's WAJC, one of the best college stations in Indiana. My tape has Anna narrating. I have a huge suitcase full of carefully organized and labeled Maxell 120s, most recorded in Dolby C on a TEAC dual cassette recorder that I really should have cleaned and repaired so I can do what you are doing here. This is helping to reduce stress and that's always a good thing. Thank you very much. Peace.
Please do!
That's pretty bad ass man
Yeah, me too. Had hundreds of Maxell Chrome tapes of each show from around '83 until HOS went online, may be twenty years worth. Paper playists too that could be ordered and MAILED on request. Miss Anna Taylor's soft voice. Learned soooo much about music from this show. First heard Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno here! Thanks, Steven Hill!
@@murphy6700 I loved Miss Anna Taylors' soft voice! I think I fell off the bed one night with her voice and spirit!
Yeah, do it. I'll bet thousands will listen and leave positive comments.
Thank you for posting this. I use to listen to this on the radio every Sunday night. Recorded alot of it on cassettes. Made me sick when they dropped the program from the Public Broadcasting Station.
Thank you, you have performed a public service, benefitting many. I have missed these programs. I feel better about the world just knowing these are here! Bless you!
I always loved listening to this music; especially to Steven Hill!
I used to listen to HoS in highschool i the late 80's and early 90's, it was broadcast from the public radio station out of Morgantown West Virginia. I couldn't find the show for a long time, a few years back I was able to find it again on one of the local public radio stations here in Indy. HoS is a great way to put a nice peaceful cap on the weekend.
I forgot how much I enjoyed this show. it was a staple of my youth. NPR should bring it back.
I love this program. I have a mixed work shift so I have to get up early on Saturday morning and drive to work. I always listen to this on my drive. It is a peaceful journey to work. 🌌🌄🚀🛰🌞🌠🌜💙
i loved this show. We had mandatory attendance at inlaws each Sunday, which would run to 10 or 11 at night, even tho we had to get up at 6 am on Monday. HOUR+ drive, and we would listen to this, and relax, and be ready to get going again the next day. I really miss it.
I may have been born only 24 years ago, but I wish more than anything to have experienced Hearts of Space live on the radio like all of you have.
No one or no program like this exists today, just one more reminder of how much I wish I could have grown up many decades before I did, in a much simpler time before all this technological chaos...
Safe travels, wherever you're truckin from✌️
Try 'Ultima Thule' podcast. Closest thing you will find to H.O.S. :)
This program is still produced and broadcast on NPR, if you search it out. I listen to it every week, and have since 1985. I listen live online to KRWG in Las Cruses NM sunday nights at 9 pm Mt time, but the HOS website will let you hear it any time you want. I was in my early 20s when I first heard it on the radio.
I'm 53 now young man. You're so correct. Those were the days of electronic sounds. I was a young child and the only one in the family that listened to this. I was very "different" so to speak. This music inspired me in so many ways. I was a young extremely talented artist. I still listen to music such as this and of course the newer music of today. I'm a very, very creative person today thanks to these older sounds and the way they inspire. Keep listening!
Yes.... But hey, I'm glad you are now caught up with the rest of us. - WELCOME! Nice to have you aboard!
Discovered this through my brother he listens to this program even today possibly online. Search and ye shall find !
So very glad that Hearts of Space has joined TH-cam..l My husband and listen l every Sunday,
These cassettes were recorded off of the *“Hearts OF Space”* radio show hosted by Stephen Hill in the early 80s, on what was _WABE_ public radio broadcasting. I just finished transferring these tapes to the computer today. Recorded on these tapes are two of Stephen Hill’s HOS playlists. One tape has recorded on it Hill’s playlist entitled _“Pleasure Cruise”_ which was aired in April 1983, and the other cassette has his _“Electric Snowflakes”_ playlist recorded to it, which was in winter on 1984. Also a section of _“The Traveler”_ playlist from 1987 is recorded on these. There is a lot of great tunes on here I haven’t heard in a very long time! There are even a few I had completely forgotten about, especially on the “Pleasure Cruise” playlist, where Stephen focused on very early electronic, space music from the late 70s and early 80s. The third tape has some unidentified “new age” music tunes recorded on it from around 1987. I believe _those_ tunes may have been recorded off of a local radio program at that time that featured mainly new age music and soft jazz music, I can’t recall the name of the program. Also, some of them may be from a *‘New Age Special Focus’* program recorded off of 94Q Jazz Flavours. The Dave Grusin and Yellowjackets songs at the end are definitely recorded from 94Q’s Jazz Flavours. The unknown tunes are VERY intriguing, hopefully we will eventually be able to figure them out! Enjoy the ambiance! One of my absolute favorites on here is *Tim* *Timmermans* *&* *Skipper* *Wise* *"Winter Moon"*
Thanks man!
Thank you for posting and sharing this. It brings back so much memories of those Sunday nights after finishing homework and laying in bed in the dark listening to this program. It took me to far away imaginary landscapes and places. And now it takes me back to that special tiny room and my childhood innocence...
Thank You for this!!! I loved this show so much!!!
thank you so much for this upload - I miss hearing Stephen Hill's voice. his voice is my medicine! as the music
Great selection thank you for sharing all the best !
This was my favorite late night radio show for late night studying or working the night shift. I BELIEVED IT CAME ON WNYC AROUND 2AM
This program is still produced and broadcast on NPR, if you search it out. I listen to it every week, and have since 1985. I listen live online to KRWG in Las Cruses NM sunday nights at 9 pm Mt time, but the HOS website will let you hear it any time you want. I was in my early 20s when I first heard it on the radio.
Vermont Public Radio broadcasts it on Saturdays at 11:00pm. I listened to it 30+ years ago. I don't know why I stopped. 🤷🏼♂️
So much great ambient/space music from 70's and 80's. This was my favorite show in the early to mid 80's. Introduced me so many great "space music" artists.
I wish someone would run all of Mr. Hill's intros together in one recording. Great ASMR :) .
I, too, taped the H.O.S. broadcasts! It was on at Midnight Sunday nights on P,B,S, Radio Then I bought Roxio, a program that allowed changing Cassette recordings to mP3 CD recordings. I have numerous CD's of H.O.S. programs from the 80's. Then my interest sort of waned. It required lots of time and attention..
I listened to this when we were in college in Pullman, Washington... i miss thus so much
was pizza haven still there? and Peggy?
Hearts of Space was part of my Sunday night wind down. Hot bath with candles, incense and this. 😊
I have an old cassette tape of this show I recorded in the early 2000's from public radio. I foundit in my stereo and playing now. Im so happy to see you have preserved this. Thank you so much.
TH-cam can be a great thing
Thank you for your efforts to preserve and share these magnificent play lists!
Thanks Kyle for cleaning these tapes up, once again :-) The Hearts of Space tapes are quite old and were recorded in a very archaic fashion with an open air microphone aimed at the speakers (it was all I had at that time haha) These were recorded I think around September of 1984 (the hearts of space ones) The program would air at midnight Fridays, as you said in your opening comments, on WABE public radio via satellite out of California by Stephen Hill, very interesting program. I had one tape that the machine tried to eat, I was able to salvage it by rewinding, but I don't notice it here. Correction, it was the Bob James song at the end where the tape got practically mangled by the tape recorder. ;-)
Thank you. You Rock! ( as they say!)
HOS was a respite from the chaos in my childhood. Peace and love to all the commenters.
So old now. Love this program thank you for posting. Safe Journey space fans wherever you are.♥
I had years & years of HOS recorded on reel-to-reel but had to get rid of them when the machine broke. Long before TH-cam - sigh ... thanks for these, nothing ever has been as great, especially from 70s & early 80s, imho.
I used to listen to this back in 91 my first year of college.
I'd forgotten about the pitches at the end where he invites folks to send in $2.00 for playlists, etc. SUCH a long time ago but still such a treasure.
No, it was $1 for a playlist which was mailed to you.
Used to listen to this on NPR and to *Thistle & Shamrock* which was a Celtic music show. I loved that show! Sent off for their newsletter and got tons of junkmail… Irish Junkmail!! Catalogues for books, music, even instruments, travel brochures and such... very cool! Thanks for posting this! I love new age and jazz...
These shows are on Xm radio at times let's get them back with a call
I loved Fiona Ritchie!
Thistle and Shamrock came on Sundays with Fiona Ritchie. I would listen to it on the way to the Kingdom Hall.
Sunday mornings on WBEZ in the early-mid 80s....
Love it and always have. I remember listening to the programme on the radio. You know, that box thing with knobs and sometimes a lighted dial to tell which channel your on...Mahalo (Thank you) and Aloha from Hawai'i.
truly awesome and excellent work! thanks for posting so much. reminds me of shroomin in 88 or 89 and cruisin out to Homochitto Forest
I have a tape of this program from my parents' collection. And a Soundscapes tape--a similar program. Yet another similar cassette went kaput. Having more music like it is great! Thanks for posting this.
GREAT memory from the 80's really rocks! Thank you for sharing this in the 'new' online venue - never even imagined in the 80's! Stephen Hill, awesome dude for sure!
I started listening to H.O.S., in the summer of 1987, in Minneapolis- via 88.5 KBEM Jazz FM on Thursdays 10pm. Followed by KBEM’s own space music show - Off The Beaten Track. I still have a ton of my old cassettes. I will never ever forget hearing Western Spaces, for the first time!
Thanks so much for archiving and sharing this. I used to love HOS when I could pick it up on FM radio signals. I also have great memories of Musical Starstreams, on KSTM ("The Storm") in Phoenix in the early-mid 80's. I have some cassettes from HOS around this same period - hoping to dig them out of storage soon and convert to mp3. Namaste, fellow travellers!
I looked this YT stream up for one, particular reason. I want to make a comment that I think Steven Hill is one of the most influential people, period, of the last three decades.
You have inspired me over and over again, giving me the 'space' that I needed to take a moment and understand who I truly am.
Such a great gift.
Thank you sir...from the deep spaces of my heart.
Thank you for taking the time to put this on here! Many great late night radio memories, mostly from KUNC in Colorado. 🙂
Traveling through the galaxy now, Thank you
Me too I listened in high school
And now I remember why I love string patches on Electric keyboards
I will find this on radio again and start getting back into it
What a treat !!!!!!
A million thanx ! Heard original shows. Your posting verifies the quality of the spaced/timed experience.
Thank you thank you thank you for the much needed medicine at this time.
This is a rare and amazing treat. Thanks! I recorded a Hearts of Space program on my "ghetto blaster" in 1984. I lost the tape long ago. It is a shame these Radio programs were not archived for posterity.
Unbelievable that there used to be radio shows that focused and these styles of music. What a gem you have here, and thank you for sharing it with the world
Thank you for posting this. I used to listen to Hearts of Space every Sunday night on WSHU FM out of Fairfield, CT when I was in college in the late 80s-early 90s. Later, I listened on KUSC FM in Los Angeles (they subsequently removed it from their programming). Brings back memories. Cheers.
