fumi Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I've been collecting Steve Roach since the late 1980s when I was just a teenager. Over thirty years, he's written some of the most evocative, haunting and truly inspirational music imaginable. WATMM isn't really the type of place where his music fits so I don't often see him talked about these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauhid Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I had seen his name around before, definitely, but didn't get around to listening to any of his music till earlier this year. Structures From Silence is unbelievable. Also digging some of the tracks from Dreamtime Return. Any recommendations (preferably beatless; not too into the tribal stuff), would be much appreciated.

WATMM isn't really the type of place where his music fits so I don't often see him talked about these days. Pretty sure I have seen someone collecting the Steve Roach discography in the recent purchases thread, can't remember who tho. Could be you maybe or mindphaser? By the way, I love The Magnificent Void (take note, Tauhid!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Chords and Sacred Spaces Atmospheric Conditions Dynamic Stillness Sigh Of Ages Afterlight [my favourite long form Roach piece] Back To Life from last year is supposed to be really good as well.

Tauhid Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Awesome, thanks dudes. I'll make a list with these. Pretty sure I have seen someone collecting the Steve Roach discography in the recent purchases thread, can't remember who tho. Could be you maybe or mindphaser? That would be Headonist.

Structures From Silence is unbelievable. Also digging some of the tracks from Dreamtime Return. Any recommendations (preferably beatless; not too into the tribal stuff), would be much appreciated. Everything that has already been mentioned. I'd also add: Immersion Series, A Deeper Silence and The Lost Pieces. Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces was maybe his magnum opus of the last decade but A Deeper Silence (which was a kind of unofficial follow-up to Structures From Silence) was also very good indeed. The Lost Pieces was my favorite album from his 90s era. Don't neglect the tribal stuff. He's often hidden some lovely ambient pieces in those albums. Early 90s albums such as 'Origins' & 'Artifacts' contain some magical moments. Check out 'Your Own Eyes' from the 'Artifacts' album. And there are the Quiet Music albums from the mid 80s that were remastered a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauhid Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'll add those three, thanks Fumi. A follow-up to Structures From Silence sounds nice. i'm gonna check those out too, mindphaser. Structures from Silence is the only one i have but i absolutely love it. Yeah, Structures From Silence has to be one of the most perfect and beautiful Ambient albums ever made. Timeless. Agreed. The title track is somethin' else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yikes Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 i am a big fan faves-the leaving time with michael shreive the records he did with robert rich world's edge soma i never heard anything i didn't like my only criticism is that a LOT of it sounds very much the same ,but that's ok ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lianne Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The Magnificent Void! But so many of his albums are wonderful. Often the lesser talked-about ones are amazing too, like the collaborative albums 'Blood Machine', 'InnerZone' and 'Vine, Bark & Spore'. Those are some deep sonic potions...

thief Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 his collab album with dirk serries, "low volume music" is one of my favorite releases of his from the past several years http://www.discogs.com/Steve-Roach-Dirk-Serries-Low-Volume-Music/master/520165 i'd highly recommend it if you're into his longform stuff like the immersion series & a deeper silence. obviously the low volume tracks are a lot shorter, but they have that same dreamy, majestic vibe to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatorin Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 WATMM isn't really the type of place where his music fits so I don't often see him talked about these days. that is where you are wrong sir. there are a lot of steve roach fans here, myself included.

joseph Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I really loved structures from silence What happened? Nothing, I really loved it and still do love it, I just haven't really followed up on much of his other stuff. Maybe I'll look into the recommendations in here. Part of the problem is I typically find myself in a very rhythmic state of mind, so sitting down to listen to lengthy, slow-to-evolve quiet ambient pieces (like Roach is perfect at) is something I only rarely do. I like dreamtime return too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I love his music, but he puts so many albums. I'll keep the sample tracks from this one playing and decide whether to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I was super into Steve Roach in college -- Light Fantastic was my favorite 'tribal' album. 'Structures From Silence' is my IDm womb album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
