███▓ ▓█▌
███▓ ▓█▀
███▓ Three striking new pieces born from the moment. ▓█
███▓ Steve Roach's new 2-CD set seamlessly fuses ▓█
███▓ three long unfolding soundworlds into a vibrant ▓█
███▓ sonic odyssey. The result can only be described ▓█
███▓ as a living, breathing ARC OF PASSION. As one ▓█
███▓ of the pioneers of electronic music, Steve's ▓█
███▓ career has many musical highpoints; ARC OF ▓█
███▓ PASSION proves to be another definitive ▓█
███▓ statement along the path. Advanced response ▓█
███▓ from listeners places this album at the top of ▓█
███▓ the list of must-have releases from Steve's ▓█
███▓ body of work. Steve reaches into his sonic ▓█
███▓ palette to weave elements drawn from his three ▓█
███▓ definitive styles into a continuous, evolving ▓█
███▓ flow. Rich harmonic chords, spiraling sequences ▓█
███▓ and deep sky soundworlds move fluidly within ▓█
███▓ this 2-hour set. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ A vibrant immediacy is alive on ARC OF PASSION; ▓█
███▓ recorded in a studio-like environment at ▓█
███▓ Analogue Haven with an audience of 80 people, ▓█
███▓ the sonic textures and evolving nature of the ▓█
███▓ pieces reach into the core of the present ▓█
███▓ moment bringing it into form with elegance and ▓█
███▓ energy. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ The opening 19-minute track billows outwards ▓█
███▓ with rich and shadowed harmonic movement; deep ▓█
███▓ chords ebb and flow like the thunder clouds of ▓█
███▓ a summer storm, entering the realm of the ▓█
███▓ hauntingly serene MYSTIC CHORDS & SACRED SPACES ▓█
███▓ or THE MAGNIFICENT VOID albums. The set flows ▓█
███▓ into the 60-minute title track built from ▓█
███▓ layers of percussive and melodic patterns ▓█
███▓ interwoven and evolving while holding a steady ▓█
███▓ pulse and direction. Waves of emotion from ▓█
███▓ intertwining sequencers provide the foundation ▓█
███▓ for the evolving trance patterns that develop ▓█
███▓ into full mesmerizing, passionate form. The ▓█
███▓ closing 20-minute piece is deep primal ambience ▓█
███▓ mixed with processed didgeridoo hovering within ▓█
███▓ an expansive soundscape. Long, arching ▓█
███▓ tendril-like forms breathe within this infinite ▓█
███▓ soundfield. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Steve comments: "This arc represents a ▓█
███▓ trajectory of emotion infused with energy from ▓█
███▓ a radiant, serene core that comes from within ▓█
███▓ the creative moment." ARC OF PASSION is a deep ▓█
███▓ and vibrant expression of life lived ▓█
███▓ passionately. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ (Source: Projekt press release) ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ "Steve Roach reaches back into his sonic ▓█
███▓ palette and pulls forth quite possibly the ▓█
███▓ definitive album of his career. Beyond ▓█
███▓ essential." -- Michael Ostrich, ProgScape.com ▓█
