Steve Roach (born 1955 in La Mesa, California) is an American ambient music composer and performer.
His approach to ambient music has typically been beatless, although his rhythmic and trance-based groove and tribal-ambient releases are nearly as numerous as his more atmospheric releases. Some recordings are strictly synthesizer based, whereas some recordings include ambient guitar experiments, and other releases cross over with more ethnic influences.
He was an early proponent of the didgeridoo’s use in ambient music and learned to play it during his extended trips to Australia during the 1980s. Later work with Mexican musician Jorge Reyes would introduce a Prehispanic element, and these fusions would further establish Roach as one of the founders of the tribal-ambient sound.

Two more favorite pieces (among others): 'Sense' from Blood Machine and 'Fires Burning' from Fever Dreams 2. Very imaginative pieces and so 'out there'. Beautiful, transporting, fascinating and addictive.

I discovered his music a few days ago... beautiful.

The Lost Pieces is incredible, and to think it's just a collection of old unreleased tunes in storage. Mindblowing. Closer is one of the best things he's done.

'The Spiral of Time's Fire Burns On.' Another incredible piece. If I'd be asked to make a short list of things that make my life worth living, Steve Roach' music would be on that list.

Dreamtime Return is an absolute must, it's definitely one of his best releases. I also highly recommend Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces. Structures is my personal favorite album from him, but MC & SS comes off to me as quite possibly the perfect ambient album ever produced. Some of the purest, deepest, and most blissful (I refer to "Dream Body" with that last adjective) ambient soundscapes I've ever heard. New Life Dreaming is also an incredible release.

Ok, sadly the only Roach album I have is Structures from Silence and I've had it for a while, but I have Dreamtime Return on my wishlist, but I want some tracks similar to SfS. Drifting pieces...

Immersion: Four is probably my favorite installment of the series yet, and Afterlight is just as brilliant. Destination Beyond didn't quite fair as well with me as the two others did, but overall this has been a great year for Roach's music!

Trance spirits, Light Fantastic, Body Electric, Nada Terma, Arc Of Passion, Proof Positive, Fever Dreams 2, Core, Life Sequence, Destination Beyond, Empetus are rhythmic and more uptempo than his pure ambient stuff. Light Fantastic is very good album to start with in my opinion.

Which album would be a good starting spot if I want to listen to something with rhythm and a faster pace?

Destination Beyond is another splendid and deep release from the master, a nice combination of his sequencer stuff and warm mysterious spacious atmospherics.

Dream Body, Dream Body, Dream Body... what a piece. Heavenly. It blows my mind everytime. That mankind could ever come up with such beautiful music. I have no doubt that all the great musical geniuses that ever lived would have loved it sooner or later.
