| | Steve Roach - Empetus: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com |
 | | Empetus [+] is profoundly rhythmic recording, with dashes of ambient, atmospheric textures here and there adding a luminous aura of color to each of the tracks. |
 | | Empetus [+], like many of his early recorded works, has a bit of a Berlin-school feel, a lá Klaus Schulze [+], Tangerine Dream [+], and Ashra [+], but there's something about even Steve Roach [+] 's earliest work that is distinctly American in flavor and composition. |
 | | As noted, this is a rhythmic recording, consisting of beautiful and cool analog and synthesizer sounds, which truly date this recording as being from the mid-'80s; but Empetus [+] is a refreshing, almost vintage recording, rather than a schlocky, almost insubstantial synth/ new age recording that, unfortunately, the '80s yielded many of. |
