d8p Steve Roach introduced me to the genre when I was a small boy. Since then it is my sancuary. Favorite track: Slow Disolve.

Wes Moynihan One of Steve Roach's most atmospheric works, comprising of mostly beatless textures infused with subtle environmental sounds that creep in at the margins. Where there is percussion, it's used sparingly and compliments well this exquisite soundscape. Favorite track: Early Man.

Darlene All of these tracks are just so deeply dark, primordial and evocative just like I like them. Every one is great and some of Steve's best if you like 'em dark Favorite track: Walking Upright II.

about

Originally released in 2001

NOW HERE ON TIMEROOM DIRECT FOR THE FIRST TIME! 9-18-2021


Best described as primeval innerspace deep ambient. EARLY MAN brings into form an ancient landscape of bubbling pools and steamy marshlands, verdant arroyos and monolithic rock formations. Cave paintings and ancient memories come to life in a slow soul-dance of evolutionary magic. The accolades from press and listeners alike tell that EARLY MAN belongs to Roach's classic body of work which includes DREAMTIME RETURN, ORIGINS, THE MAGNIFICENT VOID

The concept of the second disk - Early Man Decomposed starting with Slowly Dissolve is that the pieces of disk one one would be excavated a few thousand years later and the passage of time would is what is heard on Decomposed.

Note: Early Man disk one was originally released on Manifold Records and was presented in a collector’s edition where the CD was presented between to 2 plates of Slate.
