The very best of 2013 part two

Okay, round two of the very best of last year's cornucopia of spacerockin' goodness. Enjoy all three hours of it (and go back and listen to January's three hours as well). And let it be known, that the aforementioned (and oft-threatened) HIATUS is nigh upon us. Let it be known that THIS is the PENULTIMATE (that means there will be one more after this) Spacerock Continuum for the foreseeable future. This is not the END, merely a time to refocus my energies elsewhere. I'll never EVER quit listenin' to the space rock, and neither should YOU.

A resolution for the coming new year

And I will! And I will conquer TIME as well. For I have been remiss, for  the past few months, in writing my usual descriptions of the artists included in the playlists. I hope to go back and write the ones I skipped sometime in the Near Future. Time is of the essence but as we busy spacerockers know, time can be the Enemy as well. In the meantime what matters is the MUSIC, is it not?

For now I offer up the last set of the year, packed to the hilt with sonic Transcendence, the stuff of which we wouldn't be able to exist without. Please take this powerful Nourishment for now, let it sustain you until the Best of 2013 playlist(s) coming in the New Year (currently clocking in at over FIVE HOURS of musix!)...
