@Christopher from LA. I knew that it was by Sigur Ros, but it seems that Spotify's version of the album ( ) is improperly indexed/labeled. Here's the song:

Sigur Ros - ( ) - Untitled 3 (a.k.a. Samskeyti)

I just went to Yuki Matsuri in Hokkaido, the northern most island of Japan. After listening to this episode I was paying special attention to the snow, there were most certainly snowflakes that looked like the iconic snowflakes, though they were smaller than a pencil eraser in area. Not all of the snowstorms` snow looked like that, but there were definite occasions in which I saw perfect snowflakes. It made me wish I had a magnifying glass and a camera, I was bliss-ed out. It will be snowing in Sendai tonight, and I`ll be checking, but I don`t think the snow here looks like that, hopefully I would have noticed by now.

It was a great episode the snowflakes and <a href="http://buysoundcloud.com/">soundcloud plays increaser</a> great combination for the nest episode.

Thanks for another thought-provoking episode. I was struck by your responses to Bentley's belief that the 'real' snowflakes were aberrations of the perfect snowflake. You all sounded quite dismissive of that. However, the point in Daston and Galison's book is that the notion of 'objectivity' has it's own history. So, for his time, Bentley's attitude was quite normal and acceptable. Scientists were expected to see the underlying pattern, or perfection, that real-life data pointed towards. It seemed a little unfair to the guy to judge him by our notion of what objectivity should be. Maybe the shifting notion of objectivity is worth further exploration.

Actually I want to know about the ethereal piece at the end. Is that a existing track or a Jad original?

Yes, who plays the "free jazz " section early in this piece?

Great episode. What was the music during this spot? It was cool jazz with a psychedelic synth sound over it.
