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!
