"The advent of DVD heralds an expansive new period in the art of Steve Roach, combining his deep tribal ambient vistas with stunning visuals to match. From walls of stone that rise like jagged teeth in the timeless terrain, TIME OF THE EARTH is as a dreamtime journey in the Aboriginal sense: an era before living creatures roamed the earth, a time when the earth itself was vibrating with the life about to emerge. Roach's music gives form to the primordial landscape and draws forth its darkest mysteries."
– Mark Burbey
