Steve Roach once again pushes the boundries of musical expression on Artifacts. After 15 years and 24 solo and group releases, Roach continues to defy current musical trends with his progressive electronic, new age, world, techno-tribal, and ambient blend. This new release explores his growing ability with instruments such as didgeridoos, framedrums, dumbek, rainsticks, ocarina, and clay flutes and displays a level of electronic artistry that is approaching legendary. Textured rhythms create a unique, trance-like quality that sounds equally primal and futuristic. ~ MusD, All Music Guide
