CD  $15.00  ON SALE, $12.99  Poster out of stock iTunes  Halcyon Days Steve Roach, Stephen Kent, Kenneth Newby 1996 Hearts of Space 11072 (CD, Poster) Reviewed by Alternate Music Press, Asterism, Muze, Wired Steve joins in on a spirited super-session with didgeridoo master Stephen Kent and Indonesian and electron wizard Kenneth Newby. Created during the HALCYON DAYS of winter 1995, this recording can be compared to the Suspended Memories sessions, where the magic of the moment is sought after and captured on tape during the extensive 10-day marathon session in which the music was created. Kent and Newby of Trance Mission and Lights in a Fat City have played together for years. A visit to the Timeroom for the collaboration with Steve presented a unique chapter in their mutual pursuit of empowered music for the "Archaic Revival".   1.  Halcyon Days MP3 10:20   2.  First Day MP3 9:22   3.  Rainfrog Dreaming MP3 7:56   4.  Snake Brothers MP3 5:52   5.  Slow Walk at Stone Wash MP3 9:22   6.  Riding the Atlas MP3 5:28   7.  Calyx Revelation MP3 8:00   8.  Kingfisher Flight MP3 7:00

CD out of stock iTunes  Ecology of Souls Kenneth Newby 1994 Hearts of Space HS11046 (CD) Kenneth was one third of the HALCYON DAYS release with Steve Roach and Stephen Kent. This was a brilliant ethno-ambient release that made large waves when it was released in the early 90's. As part of the group Trance Mission, Newby brought his experience from living in Indonesia, where he studied the country's music and culture. This release along with the Suspended Memories releases, SOMA and STRATA with Robert Rich, and HALCYON DAYS were defining tribal ambient releases on the Fathom label. ECOLOGY OF SOULS is out-of-print -- we bought the distributor's last few copies -- and it's unknown if it will ever be re-released.
