Dreamtime Return

Steve's 1988 classic re-released in a beautiful 6-panel digipak with a 16-page booklet. Musically Dreamtime Return richly deserves it's 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 The myths and legends of the Australian Aborigines provided the inspiration for this expansive 2-CD opus that is generally touted as Roach's second masterpiece. This recording still defies the boundaries of genre classification 17 years after it's release. Electronic, tribal and sonically sensual this is perhaps the most important, widely known and highly respected release in Roach's vast body of work. It serves as an essential benchmark within the Ambient-Ethno-Atmospheric genre. Voted the #1 album in Echoes Radio's 2014 listener poll. Dreamtime Return is more than a seminal recording that has influenced a generation of musicians. It's the voice you might hear calling back at you at the edge of the world. - John Diliberto, Echoes Radio.
