	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.

	Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces, disc 1 by Steve Roach
		Steve Roach has had a long and lauded career in the annals of contemporary ambient and space music.
		Roach has taken the disparate threads of his most recent releases and blended them together to form a seamless, awe-inspiring tapestry of drone-instilled ambient.
		If Steve Roach's musical output as a whole can be compared to continents on a planet--each continent containing separate but related wildlife, plantlife, topography, and geological attributes--we must then consider disc one to be the sound of the entire planet as a living breathing totality.

	Matt Howarth's Sonic Space: Steve Roach, Trance Master
		Roach's live performances of electronic music have taken him far and wild: from concert halls in the United States, Canada and Europe to lava caves in the Canary Islands and volcanic craters in Mexico.
		Roach's cunning compositional talent weaves these sonic tangents together, creating an earthy array of electronic textures embodied with ethereal passion by prehispanic flutes, didgeridoo, and assorted primitive percussion instruments, like clay water pots.
		Roach's Arizona desert habitat was the setting and inspiration for this music, capturing that part of the day when the spell of the heat holds sway over all life and even inanimate objects.

	STEVE ROACH - PRINCE OF DRONES - Ambient - TRANCE - Electronics - EER-MUSIC.com"
		A Roach concert is a primal ritual lit by candles and perfumed with incense, a mind-expanding light show, and a meditative experience, all wrapped in that trademark sound whose reverb, whether in the studio or in the performance space, seems to go on forever.
		Roach himself is the opposite of the gyrating rock showman or pompous classical virtuoso; dressed in dark clothing and almost hidden behind the array of electronics, he is the wizard behind the curtain who delivers real magic.
		Steve Roach: Pure Flow Timeroom, 2001 www.steveroach.com info@steveroach.com Pure Flow is "an essential flow of atmospheric soundscapes by Steve Roach." It is a collection of six pieces from Timeroom CD's and a previously unreleased track, "Hovering." The pieces are sequenced by the feelings evoked, not by chronology.

	Steve Roach: Past and Present
		Steve Roach is constantly evolving the genre of contemporary electronic music with his adventurous excursions into ambience.
		This departure from Roach's often-minimal ambience is superbly accomplished, proving once again that the man's creative talents are as boundless as the universe he quantifies with his soundscapes.
		Roach has explored numerous "styles" of ambient electronic music during that period, and all of them are portrayed on this release...from his minimalist atmospherics to his tribal percussive music to his arid guitar compositions.

	Life Sequence by Steve Roach
		This is an interesting release, first because it is something of a departure from recent Roach material (usually deep and long droneworks or intense tribal-ritual albums), and second because it marks a return to the style of music Roach debuted with in the early eighties: sequencing.
		Roach has a talent of expressing the ineffable in his music and "Destination Horizon" propels the listener forward into an unknowable future, both mysterious and welcoming.
		Listeners who find Roach's classic sequencing style a past relic may be turned away by certain tracks' similarities to older works (and ambient fans who eschew Berlin School altogether will likely avoid this entirely).

	Steve Roach - Core - Timeroom Editions
		Steve Roach terraforms his soundworlds and populates them with extraordinary life forms.
		Steve Roach starts us out on our journey with an outer peripheral fly by of the world that he is introducing to us and flows into an actual placement of our fertile imaginations onto the very ground of his creation.
		Like "Sorcerer", "Stratosfear", and other TD classics, Roach's music dissects and walks through the viscera of humanity and it's thoughts, revealing and expounding on what is brought to the surface.

	Ambient Masterworks by Steve Roach
		Steve Roach, whose name has long been synonymous with the American ambient electronic movement, is also a musician (or sonic sculptor) with a considerably prolific output.
		One of the sounds employed by Roach (mainly on the second CD) is clearly sourced from the sound of a glass bottle rolling across a concrete surface.
		In actuality, this CD is a collection of tracks by Roach from various sources: his own releases, tracks previously found only on compilations, and--surprise--17 minutes of new material.

	Ambient Visions Presents an Interview with Steve Roach
		I have gotten to know Steve over the last two or three years through his music and through electronic communications.
		For the last 23 years Steve Roach has been creating some of the most innovative and personal electronic compositions ever to find their way onto vinyl, cassettes and CD's.

	CD Baby: STEVE ROACH: Dreamtime Return (2005 24 bit remastered edition) (2-CD)
		The two-CD Magnum Opus is perhaps the most important, widely known and highly respected release in Steve Roach's vast body of work.
		Roach's travels in the Australian outback, along with studies of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, and his desert walkabouts in California were the life blood for this recording which still defies the boundaries of genre classification 17 years after its release.
		The drones of the didgeridoo, the ceremonial drums, the alien ambiences, the voices from the past, the eternal silences, the tribal atmospheres, the dilation of time, and the sculpture of space have created the tribal-ambient genre, of which Roach was the first techno-shaman.

	Steve Roach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		InnerZone, the latest collaboration between composer, producer, synthesist and multi–instrumentalist Steve Roach and Belgian ambient musician VidnaObmana, is music for contemplation, not music that you contemplate.
		Roach's electronic improvisations provide grounding in "Encounter Passage" and eerie staccato emphasis on "Isolation." There are many interesting time signatures and exotic drumbeats (particularly on "Strands" and "Isolation"), and enough dissonance to keep things from sliding into the dreaded "Yanni With Eyeliner" category.
		Roach's ambient/New Age stylings fit well within this niche, while at the same time expanding its borders.

		This is a 70 minute-plus collection of beautiful, haunting, minimal, deep-of-the-night, mood-drenched pieces created entirely on a single processed electric guitar by Steve in a style all his own.
		In 1998 he started to explore his own style of atmospheric guitar based zones, approaching the instrument as Steve says "with a beginners mind, the Tabula Rasa, or clean slate.
