On his first Fathom solo release, intrepid explorer Steve Roach abandons his familiar techno/tribal rhythms in an all-electronic search for the dark heart of the sonic mysteries.
From the opening drifts, full of cascading images and comforting washes, the experience descends into terra incognita, across the terrain of the unconscious, over amorphous bridges. through paths of memory haunted by ghostly presences, to the gateway of the Void...and beyond.
Steve Roach is recognized worldwide as one of the leading innovators in contemporary electronic music. His range of musical expression runs the gamut from the introspective soundscapes of Structures from Silence and Quiet Music (Complete Edition) to the explosive sequencer music of Empetus. Roach masterfully combined these two aspects of his style on the double album Dreamtime Return , considered by many critics to be a landmark in the new music genre.
