Voices of Heaven, Part 2

Throughout history, humans have tried to capture our images of heaven — paradise — in many forms, through music, art, dance, film, and so much more. Today’s episode of I Scream Sunday is the second of two exploring musical visions of heaven. On today's episode, we take a different look at the heavens of some of our artists. Audraulic: "Dreaming Heavens" (Split EP) Hendu's Groove: "Almost Heaven" (Reflection) Jim Ottaway: "Beyond Heaven and Earth" (Infinite Universes) Alpha Wave Movement: "Mapping the Heavens" (A Distant Signal) Staticer: "Grey Heaven" (The Air Between Us) December Nightskies: "The War In Heaven" (The War In Heaven) Visions of the heaven can be devotional, and also rational: we observe the skies, the heavens, and do what we can to map and understand them. In the second hour as usual, you'll hear a live set from yours truly. This week it's called Spheres of Influence and is a series of musical impressions of the seven classical Ptolemaic spheres: 1: Moon - she is mysterious and aloof, silver and cool 2: Mercury - he is fleet of foot, always in motion, and a bit mischievous 3: Venus - She is the embodiment of love and desire 4: Sun - He is both nourishing and relentlessly uncaring 5: Mars - He is full of blood and battle, ready for war at any moment 6: Jupiter - The King of the Gods, he might be a little drunk on power 7: Saturn - He is the keeper of time and discipline, old age and death
