53Guitarman ...Yeah, what mysticwolf75 said! I agree with every word in his review. I think I appreciate this album more than when I bought it on CD back in the day when it was released.

mysticwolf75 I've had this on CD for almost 20 years, but the recent subscriber only release of Deeper got me thinking about it again, so I had to get the digital version. I spent many a summer nights years past, moon gazing on the nights of full moons, with this music playing in the background!

about

This ultra deep, dark ambient set of pieces was created entirely on Electric Guitar and and array of loopers, delays and signal processing creating an emotional release that stands alone in Steve's body of work. Touching the ineffable, this music presents a meditation on solitude and quiet isolation. Atmospheric music in the true sense of the word. This slow swirling lattice of smokey melodic-harmonic patterns rises and falls out of the silence which becomes an equal component with the music. Midnight Moon will appeal to anyone who has appreciated the purely atmospheric and darker side of Roach’s influential style over the last four decades.

“From the very start, listening to Midnight Moon is like being born into a dark dream, a floating void of pre-existence . . . This chilling terrain is not without a haunting essence of something human lurking in its folds and shadows. Rife with mood and substance, Midnight Moon is the ultimate in melancholy space music, representing some of Roach’s most enigmatic and intuitive music to date.” – Mark Burbey, writer for ALTERNATIVE PRESS
