Dream Body – Steve Roach 

Maybe when I die, I’ll get to float endlessly through the universe taking in the sights, with Steve Roach’s music playing. That would be great.

I’ve found some Steve Roach CDs at the library, the Immersion series, and I love them. Several CDs with 70 minute long drone soundscapes. Fantastic stuff. I’ll often sign CDs out of the biblio, listen to them a few times, discover some new stuff, and return them. These ones I hang on to for quite a while, often renewing them. Great background music on endless repeat. Creates a soundscape that isn’t distracting.

Trying to discover more of his stuff, and hit on this one. I can’t even describe how much I like this. Just gorgeous.

I think....I can’t believe I’m saying this....I think....I might....oh god this feels like heresy.....I think Steve Roach might be....supplanting Brian Eno as my favourite ambient artist. Gasp!

I discovered this track on a friends CD. The only problem was that the CD wasn’t labeled, and none of the tracks had any info included with them. It was simply Track 05. No artist name. He couldn’t recall anything about it. Damn. Really liked the track. Ambient with a bit of an eerie edge to it, but it had a great, yet still pretty subtle bass line in it.

Listening to one of my fave internet radio stations just now, I heard a familiar track. Hey wait a second... So, it’s Steve Roach. I’ve known about him for years, but can’t say I’ve ever paid attention to him. I’m going to have to now.
