Connected."

Saturday morning we'll feature the music of one of my fave musicians: Patrick O'Hearn. "His latest inspiration was a chance encounter with a vintage 1937 electric Hawaiian guitar that shaped his new solo album, Glaciation. Glaciation continues O’Hearn’s path of evoking the sensations of different atmospheres through beautifully textured sounds. Glaciation is the ninth release on O’Hearn’s
eponymous label."

We'll also hear songs from Slow Time; Beautiful World; The Private Music of Patrick O'Hearn; Between Two Worlds and more. It's all music from Patrick O'Hearn, Saturday morning at 9:00.

This is really happening. read more »

Join Pirate Satellite Saturday morning for spiritually expansive, ambient downtempo electronic grooves. We'll hear from Adham Shaikh's Journey To The Sun, incorporating ambient sounds from his trip to India; Biosphere's classic '97 ambient recording Substrata, recorded some 350 miles north of the arctic circle in Norway and it sounds like it. Also from Norway, Green Isac, from Etnotronica. From Craig Padilla's new CD Below The Mountain, a song reminiscent of Tangerine Dream. England's Jon Hopkins with the title cut to Contact Note; Patrick O'Hearn playing the title cut from Slow Time. A song from Thierry David's Zen Pause, a "trip-hop and downtempo journey toward inner peace." Brian Eno with "Blissed" from The Drop. And perhaps more. read more »

Moby plays live in Fairfield Saturday night! My youngest son Shane (9) and I are very excited. I sent Moby a Pirate Satellite compilation 10+ years ago. I've never done that before or since. I don't even know if he got it.

Moby was my favorite musician in the 90's and I still enjoy him very much today. Moby's 1999 release Play remains a seminal electronic recording. His integration of organic, emotional soul into the electronic sound was then- and perhaps now- unmatched.

I'm thrilled that Moby is my son Shane's fave musician. Moby often writes long, spiritually-inspired essays on his liner notes. Check it out. read more »

Pirate Satellite has been working on Saturday's show over the last 2 weeks. It includes soundtrack music from the film Blade Runner: The Final Cut. The electronic music Vangelis
created for this 1982 seminal film is as good as anything I've ever heard- even 25 years later.

We'll also hear 2 songs from the brand new compilation "Future Memories"; 2 songs from Depeche Mode: Tanghetto's electro-tango (!) cover of "Enjoy The Silence" and William Orbit's "Random Carpet mix" of "Walking In My Shoes". Also featured, a song from Two Loons For Tea, who recently played in Fairfield. We'll hear a cut from the 1981 electronic classic "BGM", by YMO.

Among other projects, Sakamoto went on the do the soundtrack with David Byrne to the film "The Last Emperior". I'll post the complete playlist at kruufm.com/pirate-satellite. ENJOY read more »
