Synopsis

Product Description

Budget-priced reissue of this out-of-print 1999 collection of unreleased and compilation tracks. Available for the first time to retail customers. A perfect blend of Steve's rich atmospheric & tribal ambient work. The 10 tracks - recorded over 11 years - work remarkably together to create a connected storyline, like the soundtrack for an imaginary film. Five tracks are previously unreleased covering Dreamtime Return, the Suspended Memories collaboration with Suso Saiz on guitar, Stormwarning and Artifacts. Five were recorded specifically for now out-of-print international compilations.

CD Reviews

ANOTHER FINE COLLECTION FROM ROACH

Steven H. Propp | Sacramento, CA USA | 10/23/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is subtitled, "The Lost Pieces - Volume Two"; and like Roach's other collections of "Lost Pieces" (Lost Pieces, Texture Maps - The Lost Pieces Vol. 3, and Places Beyond: The Lost Pieces 4), consists of pieces from 1987 through 1996. Five tracks of the ten were previously unreased; some pieces previously appeared on other editions (e.g., from the Spanish edition of Stormwarning); and others appeared only on multi-artist collections---it's good to have them all available.

This collection, although ranging over a long period of time, works much better as a whole "album" than Volume 1 did; it also includes the work of some exciting guest musicians, such as Suso Saiz's electric guitar.

The collection as a whole is a wonderful "ambient soundscape," rather than one of Roach's "tribal" or "electronic" excursions. The opening piece, "Aftermath" is particularly beautiful. This is a MUST for all Steve Roach fans.
