Since 1995, X-Rated (a weekly three hour radio show on dutch alternative music radio channel Kink FM) has been a "platform for 'difficult' music". Experimental, avant-garde, poetry, soundscapes: uncensored and uncompromised. (The FM in the channel's name is somewhat misleading, since it's a cable radio station that can also be received via internet or satellite). X-Rated's existence for more than 15 years is nothing short of remarkable, because Kink FM (daughter of Veronica Broadcasting company) is a commercial station, while the music X-Rated features is about the opposite of "commercial". Since dutch public radio has ended (almost) all of the experimental radio shows, X-Rated is about the last dutch program hosting experimental electronic music. Needless to say that I'm very very proud to have X-Rated broadcast a full one-hour mix, especially created for this occasion. This mix was broadcast on the May 23, 2010 show (the first day of Pentecost). Vortex was especially created for X-Rated. Thanks to Bob Rusche for broadcasting this on his show! --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Tracklist 00:00 Harold Budd & Clive Wright - Queen of CydoniaLittle Windows, 2010.
