I`m always curious
when I discover that a known artist / band offers a full album as a free
download. I usually find it pretty suspicious, what`s the catch? Is this
recording so damned bad that you give it away because you know nobody will buy
it? There`s always a catch or so I though. Boy am I wrong here. This album was
offered as a gift on new year`s eve. It consists of one long (58 minutes) piece
of `ambient` music. To say that this is pure ambience would be an insult. The
more you listen to this and you realize there`s more than meets the eye.
`Invisible` is a long evolving / devolving piece of minimal / ambient / ambient
darkwave. You hear some gloomy / doomy synth lines, subtle lo-fi noise bursts
here and there, drones, strange rhythms running in the background, field
recordings of unknown origins, brooding / hypnotic, deeply dark, dark ambience
bits. The best way to enjoy this? Lying on your couch, the volume full blast
and don`t forget those high quality headphones. I want to hear more of Steve
Roach`s music. His website: http://steveroach.com/
