CD out of stock Space and Time An Introduction to the Soundworlds of Steve Roach Steve Roach 2003 Projekt PRO151 (CD) Reviewed by John Shanahan, Bert Strolenberg, Sonic Curiosity SPACE AND TIME offers a unique overview of the nearly 20 years of groundbreaking recordings from noted ambient pioneer Steve Roach. Excerpting tracks from his 13 Projekt CD's, Roach hand-selected and mixed these pieces into a perfect flow which serves as an ideal insight into his vast recorded history. "Space" and "time" are two themes that run constant in all Roach's music. Rich with emotion and nuance, his sound creations evoke a strong sense of space and atmosphere while simultaneously altering the perception of time within that space. From the expansive, time-suspending landscapes reflected in releases such as 1984's STRUCTURES FROM SILENCE and 2003's MYSTIC CHORDS & SACRED SPACES to the fire breathing, rhythmic-shamanic expressions woven from all things electric and organic on 1989's DREAMTIME RETURN and 2000's THE SERPENT'S LAIR, Roach has earned his position in the international pantheon of major ambient-atmospheric-electronic artists. Fueled by his prolific nature and uncompromising approach, SPACE AND TIME invites the listener on a 74-minute journey into the extraordinary soundworlds of Steve Roach.   1.  Oracle (edit) MP3 4:10   2.  Future Tribe (edit) MP3 4:21   3.  A Circular Ceremony (edit) MP3 3:12   4.  After the Dream (edit) MP3 3:16   5.  The Calling (edit)   4:07   6.  This Moment is a Memory (edit) MP3 4:30   7.  Gone West (edit) 3:38   8.  Ghost Train (edit) MP3 2:36   9.  Early Man (edit) MP3 2:19   10.  Hope (edit) MP3 1:34   11.  Moon and Star (edit) MP3 2:18   12.  Almost Touching (edit) MP3 1:45   13.  The Graceful Sky (edit)   3:07   14.  Structures From Silence (edit) MP3 12:05   15.  Something in Tears (edit) MP3 2:47   16.  Early Dawn (edit) MP3 2:43   17.  Fever Glimpse   7:00   18.  Offering in Waves (edit)   1:55   19.  Vortex Ring (edit) MP3 2:25   20.  Nameless (edit) MP3 3:58   6.
