▓ [ about this release ] ▓
░ ░
This soundtrack contains classic tracks along with
out-of-print and hard-to-find pieces woven together to
tell the wordless story originally released on the
recent desert dreamtime DVD on Projekt, TIME OF THE
EARTH. As such, it provides a comprehensive view of
Steve's influential tribal-ambient and desert-ambient
soundworlds. Like last year's PURE FLOW collection,
the sequence of the tracks melding into one continuous
flow reflects a new perspective on the different eras
of Steve's work.
Supporting the theme is a hauntingly beautiful cover
image that Steve has been saving for the right
release, ever since 1987. This black & white image is
from a remote part of Mono Lake in California, and
taken by reknown nature photographer Jim Stimson. The
image itself seems to emanate a world of sound that
occurs on this day out of time.

REVIEW:
Steve Roach wasn't just busy doing music in 2002.
Somehow, in the midst of touring and releasing several
albums, he also found time to release a DVD, TIME OF
THE EARTH. Steve perfectly edited and blended eleven
previously released tracks (though some are only
available on hard-to-find compilations) to fit a
magnificent nature film by Steve Lazur, featuring
remote natural wonders from the American West. The
complete soundtrack to the DVD is featured on DAY OUT
OF TIME, and even if you have all the source material
and the DVD itself, it's well worth considering this
as yet another essential Steve Roach purchase. If you
have the DVD, but want to zone out to your portable CD
player or in your car, it's nice to have the music
here at your fingertips. And if you already own most
or all of the individual tracks, they take on new life
here in the unique way they are seamlessly spliced
together in carefully selected snippets of the
original works. Tracks are featured from relatively
recent efforts such as EARLY MAN, ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITIONS, and VINE ~ BARK & SPORE, but some also
date further back, to A STORM OF DRONES ("Merciful
Eyes") and even his classic DREAMTIME RETURN from the
1980s, which makes a fitting finish to the disc.
Perhaps the most sought-after piece will be "This
Life," which is featured on a compilation I've heard
of but not seen, the compilation FLOATATION on
Interchill Records. Short and sweet, this is
definitely Steve Roach, but just different enough to
perk the ears up a bit. A softly meandering bass line
and some almost modern techno elements drifting in the
background make this a singular Roach listening
experience. Part tribal, part haunting drifts, all
vintage Steve Roach in a creatively rearranged format,
DAY OUT OF TIME is a winner.

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
From the first day of 2004, iRO began encoding in
the APS setting (VBR) with LAME 3.90.3. In february
2007, we updated the encoder to latest approved
standard which is LAME 3.97 (-V 2 --vbr-new). In that
same month we also started to re-rip our old CBR rips.
