Sanctuary of Desire

One half more actively hypnotic, one half more passively meditative, Steve Roach has done it again.

You can listen to this as a pleasant wash of background music while you work; as beautiful and as meaningless as sunlight on a painted wall. Or you can focus on it and realise that actually there's a lot going on in the texture and detail of the sound. Steve Roach has made a lot of longform ambient, all of them well worth listening to, but this is one of the very best. A gem from a gem.

Zones, Drones & Atmospheres
by Steve Roach
supported by 17 fans who also own “Ember Among Ashes (w Kati Astraeir)”
This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing.

Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures.

Intricate field recordings meet lush, new age-y harp and synth melodies on the Melbourne artist's meditative new LP.
