Steve Roach - Quiet Music – 40th Anniversary / Limited Ultra Clear Edition

Eine der bedeutendsten Veröffentlichungen des Ambient-Pioniers Steve Roach, nun erstmals als komplettes 3LP-Vinyl-Set: Quiet Music – 40th Anniversary bringt alle drei Quiet Music-Alben (1983–1986) in einer gemeinsamen limitierten Edition zusammen. Gepresst auf drei ultra-klare 140g Schallplatten, in schwarzen Innerhüllen, in einem dicken Außencover mit zweiseitigem Credits-Inlay. Streng limitiert auf 300 Exemplare weltweit.

Der meditative, ambientale Minimalismus von Quiet Music entstammt derselben Schaffensperiode wie Roachs klassisches Album Structures from Silence (1984). Die Musik mischt sanfte Synthesizer-Elektronik mit Flöte, E-Piano und Naturklängen zu einer zeitlosen, transluzenten Klangwelt – Musik, die im Körper wirkt wie Atem.

Harold Budd, Los Angeles, 1986: „I think Steve Roach's Quiet Music is his best album. It's not that it's simply pretty (which it is), but there's an odd edge lurking in the background that moves it miles away from 'New Age' torpor. This is a lovely album from a composer working at the top of his skills." Allmusic.com: „Quiet Music is the essence of pure, meditative ambience. Steve Roach has always been a visionary performer; his work defines 'elegant futurism.' He was one of the first to demonstrate that ambient minimalism does not have to be dark, that it can be bright and hopeful without becoming maudlin or too new age. This is groundbreaking space music from an epic and legendary performer. He is peerless in his corner of the perpendicular universe."
