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.

The Ancestor Circle
by Steve Roach & Jorge Reyes

Amazing to hear Jorge and Steve together once more! Did not think I would have that privilege again in this life. Lovely warm, cyclic, organic tribal ambience. Feels very tied to the Southwest to me--I can almost see the shadows dancing across the canyon walls, and feel the rhythmic flutes and dancers' feet echoing from the kiva walls.

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