This Album contains over 2 hours of music.
You Can Get This for Free Buying The "New York By Night".
Early days recordings and ideas in my boys room at my parents house in the 70s and "Void" Studio in the 80s. In the 70s I used two Cassette Tape Recorders adding one instrument at a time. For extracting rhythm I also used the two Cassette Tape Recorders recording a longer drum track. Using this technique has given the rhythms some instability. This instability can either be seen as irritation or a peculiarity to put a more personal touch around the way this was done.
At this time, much of the music I made was built around a rhythm that I took from cassettes and LPs. Always looking for drums at the beginning of a song without other instruments.
In 1980 I bought a Scully 8-track 1inch Tape Recorder and the Sound Techniques System 12 Mixer and AKG drum Microphones.

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal

This is a wonderfully laid-back release and one that I regularly enjoy as I'm falling asleep. The music gently takes me away from the stresses and strains of the everyday and places me into a state of deep sleep. Highly recommended for inner space voyagers - you won't be disappointed. Chuck created a really great moment in time with this recording. Andy Bloyce
