Steve Roach - Dreamtime Return - 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition '1988/2018

Tracks list

Since its release in 1988, Dreamtime Return has earned its reputation as a
genuine classic. The two-CD magnum opus is one of the most important, widely
known and highly respected release in Steve Roachs vast body of work. It serves
as an essential benchmark within the Electronic-Ethno-Atmospheric genre. Roachs
travels in the Australian outback, along with studies of the Aboriginal
Dreamtime, and his desert walkabouts in California were the lifeblood for this
recording which even today sounds like a transmission from the near future and
the very distant past. Musically Dreamtime Return richly deserves its classic
status, but Roach also deserves credit for leading electronic musicians out of
their sheltered studios and into an active relationship with the landscape, the
wider world, and deep cultural history. The whole genre is stronger and more
relevant for his example. - Stephen Hill, Hearts of Space Radio. Three decades
after its release, the true expansive depth of this iconic masterpiece has been
meticulously unveiled, revealing an entirely new listening experience. With this
30th Anniversary High Definition remastered edition, mastering engineer Howard
Givens utilizes his years of technical knowledge with electronic music, an
extensive array of analog and digital tools, and his passion for this seminal
work, to restore the original sonic nature and visionary intention, taking the
listener deeper into the dreamtime. Steve Roach demonstrates that electronic
musics greatest potential may lie in bringing our most elusive dreams and
ancient memories into focus through potent, highly imaginative soundscapes. The
effect is mesmerizing, increasingly introspective, yet curiously comforting as
if the primitive wisdom and renewed connection to nature this music conveys is
something you were craving all along. This is without question Steve Roachs
masterpiece. - Linda Kohanov, CD Review
