The 30th anniversary of this 1986 electronic classic, reissued with original artwork. Roach's fifth solo album features sophisticated, energetic sequencer music, ending with a haunting, melodic piece, "The Memory," more akin to his floating ambient work of the period. Nine precise pieces that still sound fresh today. A favorite of sequencer music lovers worldwide."This may be the most concise Steve Roach album and came at the end of his sequencer phase, his last flame-out on Berlin school electronics. But he was already taking it somewhere new. Unlike Roach's usual CD-long expanses, these are bite-size compositions that do their job, quickly, efficiently and with every moment counting. Roach leaves you breathless in a maze of synchronized spinning patterns only to pick you up and send you whirling again."- John Diliberto, Echoes Radio.
