  Avantgarde Music. Steve Roach: biography, discography, reviews, links
Roach dà il massimo nei grandi spazi aperti, libero da limiti di tempo, solo con la sua strumentazione elettronica a costruire mondi sonori che riflettono il suo stato mentale in maniera tanto più fedele quanto più hanno tempo di focalizzarsi, e che dopo un po' sembrano vivere di vita propria.
Roach assimila nel suo tetro habitat di suoni elettronici in libertà anche i ritmi convenzionali della musica di consumo, i quali, accoppiati alle lunghe frasi melodiche della scuola tedesca, definiscono atmosfere di quiete astrale.
Roach e` il piu` grande affabulatore elettronico di sempre, l'equivalente moderno dei cantastorie di un tempo: invece di raccontare le epiche imprese di qualche eroe del passato, racconta quelle, piu` paniche che epiche, di se stesso a caccia dei segreti del nostro universo.
