I horrified to see the changes that Serius made to XM. The only thing that was unique about satilite radio, as far as I’m conserned, was Beyond Jazz.

Not only did I want to listen to it a lot; I wanted to get my music out on it. Back then, I was calling my music, “psychotronic jazz.”

I didn’t realize that “psychotronic” already had an accepted meaning. For me, it was a contraction (psycho-accoustic+electronic).

The Beyond Jazz bump was a major blow. I’m glad to have found it again on the web. Now let’s hope that iTumes doesn’t go anywhere.

Peace!

Bring back Beyond jazz. That was your best radio station next to the Groove. With decisions like that (to eliminate Beyond Jazz), no wonder XM radio is going bankrupt. Listen to the people, bring back Beyond Jazz and cancel the Spa or whatever you call it.

When my subscription to XM Radio was due last December, I made the decision to let it drop and called XM to let them know why. Beyond Jazz was my favorite channel because the music was different in a very good way. I felt no point in paying for more of the same diluted version of the original XM programming. Now, I search the Net in places like ShoutCast for something similar and have yet to find the same exciting, progressive kind of jazz. My disappointment has no end here. At best I can console myself by linking up to whatever I can find on shoutcast but it’s still not the same.

Just gotta say, without Music Lab or Beyond Jazz, I have lost my groove.

I was a regular listener of both Fred and Beyond Jazz. The channels that have been offered as their replacements aren’t even in the same league. Fred was replaced with First Wave, a weak substitute at best. Beyond jazz wasn’t even given a replacement. Sirius does not offer any kind of Fusion/Modern/Acid jazz station. The quality has dropped to the point that I am seriously considering just going back to the regular programming available on the FM stations in my area.
