Proof Positive, by Steve Roach

Proof Positive

by Steve Roach

supported by

ernstlat faster-paced synth album

rikm "Proof Positive" explores a classic analog sound that strongly appeals, sequenced awesomeness that connects immediately.

There's something about the spiraling patterns and progressions of Roach's analog releases that bring to mind an almost magical numerical progression, the suggestion of mathematical developments that appeal to a higher understanding of science and form. Perhaps it's my imagination, or maybe there's something more happening here?

Either way, it's a truly great album...

about

"Shimmering", "life-affirming" and "moving only forward" best describes this release drawn from the pulsing side of the lifeblood found in Steve's work. PROOF POSITIVE was created from '05 to '06. These all-new pieces, sequential with textural undercurrents, have a kind floating sensation; the sum total is purely hypnotic with a contained and sustained energy that is consistent through the entire CD. This one lights up the brain and excites the ears in a way that only a hands-on spontaneous approach to carving pure analog sound can offer. A touchstone release for Steve, this is a perfect set for long drives on the open road or for traveling the inner landscapes while cruising in your favorite listening chair. Proof Positive indeed!

I especially love "Moment of Grace" because of it's contunious texture and new plateaus. Steve has a way of building sound in layers and keeps you soaring through a journey of inspiration. I love change and this track does it all! Tom Klassen
