about

This release presents perhaps the most intense set of live sequencer music you will experience. Recorded at two sold out concerts in the mid 80s' using all analog hardware gear, with what amounted to an entire studio setup on stage, the focus and development of the pieces as they unfold before your very ears is unmatched.

STORMWARNING takes you to the outer edges of Steve Roach's music where he engages in a driving high-energy sound first explored on albums EMPETUS, and NOW / TRAVELER. In the live performances of STORMWARNING, Roach unlocks the synchronous perfection of sequencers, creating elaborate, interlocking patterns that weave into infinite, Escher-like designs, set against Roach's skyscraping synthesizer fury. John Diliberto - Echoes

This later version of the release includes "Day Three", a 21 minute sequencer piece which was recorded on Steve's first tour of Germany in 1991 and definitely feels like a missing piece to the puzzle in terms of its musical content and energy. Those who love the high-energy dramatic sequencer era of Steve's work will love this edition at over 70 minutes total playing time.

I had already been exposed to the Berlin School movement through Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze when I wandered into my favorite record shop and discovered this work waaaay back in '86. What a find, what an artist and what a fabulous trip it has been over the decades as Steve explores new sound environments. This work has a simplicity yet at the same time a dynamic complexity that is refreshing every time I listen. Favorite track: The Memory deepskynm

Emotions Revealed

Pure Flow - I cant believe that "Firelight" is from 1982! (I love Steve Roachs work except for some of the Electo-Rhythm Stuff he does). But this track (the second of two) is wonderful and reminds me of "A Deeper Silence" and other One-Long-Track-Albums: pure flow with a dark ambient side and/or a melancolic feeling to it - that depends on the listener. "Emotions Revealed", the other track is Electro-Rhythm, and is not bad for this genre... oliver92
