lunar-railways This longform work of muted melancholy is oddly disquieting and oddly comforting at the same time. Maybe not music for escaping difficulties, but music for getting through difficulties

rikm A stunning example of long-form Ambient minimalism, "Darkest Before Dawn" was one of my earliest introductions to the work of Steve Roach, and holds a special place in my heart for the musical journey that it inspired in me.

Over the course of it's length, Roach leads listeners on a languid trip through dark soundscapes and moonlit terrains, a beautiful aural experience that remains a personal favorite almost twenty years later...

Network23 One of my favourite ambient pieces of all time. It has a dark, amorphous, magical quality which shifts and drifts constantly.

Chris Fox THIS IS SUPERB. A little-known release by Roach but one of his very best. Dark, brooding, mysterious, wonderful, perfect for looping while you sleep

about

A deep zoneworld of glacial movement and magma-like flow, no beginning, no end... you have just been dropped off in a far corner of space, and what's that I hear? Imagine STRUCTURES FROM SILENCE emanating from a point far beyond. If a Mark Rothko painting could make sound, this might be it... 74 minutes x repeat mode = a severe change in atmospheric conditions... and possible hypnogogic states. Created September, 2002. This minimal, immersive sound environment can be considered a prelude to MYSTIC CHORDS & SACRED SPACES.
