Steve Roach is an amazing artist - Great Rumbler - 9th November 2006
I've been listening to his music for some time now and, thanks to the power of iTunes, I've been browsing through some of his albums that I don't have. He really puts out some amazing music.
"So what kind of music does he create?", you are probably wondering. Well, it's best described as "ambient soundscapes", but it's way more than that jazzy stuff you get off that one shelf they have in Wal-Mart with all the weird CDs jumbled together on it. It's really hard to truly describe his music, because it doesn't really conform to what we traditionally think of when we hear the word "music".
Lately, I've been using it as background sound for when I write and it's basically been a constant inspiration to me in that respect.
So, go check out some of his music!

Urge
"Space and Time: An Introduction to the Soundworlds of Steve Roach" is a good album to start out with.
