BUY Steve Roach - Empetus here!

Long out-of-print Electronic classic with limited edition bonus disc of never-before-released tracks. At the price of a single CD!
The rights to the 1986 release Empetus reverted back to Steve; this - along with some recently discovered "lost pieces" - inspired this 2-CD Collector's Edition. The second disc, entitled The Early Years, features two amazing long-form sequencer pieces circa 1982. The first piece, "Harmonia Mundi," was recorded live in the L.A.-based Timeroom with Swiss-born electronic musician Thomas Ronkin. At 45 minutes, this is one of the more possessed and intense analog sequencer trance pieces you're likely to hear. "Release" is a 24-minute solo statement of emotion and energy connected to the early years of Steve's evolution in sound, harkening to Now and Traveler. By the time Empetus was released, the approach of these longer German School styles were morphing into a new sound heard on Empetus and beyond. Empetus Full blown sequencer-based music illustrating a further evolution in the visceral side of Roach's music. Nine precise pieces that still sound fresh today. A favorite of sequencer music lovers. Released on Projekt and available September 5th, 2008.
