Amazon.com essential recording

Opening with a violent clap of thunder, Roach's first live album lives up to its creator's exhortation that you "turn it up, feel it in your bones!" Though it's built from the same glassy, ghostly synthesizer drones, didgeridoo howls, and clay-pot ethnic rhythms as much of his other work, On This Planet is a more visceral, less trancelike experience. Aided by mysterious voices murmuring about being "haunted by visions that have been painted from the inside out," the music suggests a very intense, Castanedan peyote journey through an otherworldly desert landscape (tripping over the odd beer can). Swirling noise clusters, shuddering rain sticks, shamanic chanting, rhythms that sprint across the spectrum like organic drum & bass beats--this isn't your father's New Age. A maxed-out 72 minutes on one CD, On This Planet makes an ideal, if quicker-paced, introduction to Roach's aesthetic, a potent distillation of his more mind-bending materials. --James Rotondi

Reminds me of when I had a pet gerbil..........2003-05-23

I have really enjoyed everything I have heard by Steve Roach...up until now. The scritchy-clicky noises in this one remind me of trying to sleep while a pet gerbil is chewing on things in my bedroom late at night. Perhaps I have been spoiled by such brilliant gems as "Midnight Moon," "The Magnificent Void," "Quiet Music," or Roach's collaborations with Robert Rich. All of those recordings have gotten a great deal of airplay in my home late at night. I also enjoy "Early Man" and "Australia: Sound of the Earth" with David Hudson and Sarah Hopkins much more than this recording. Perhaps it will grow on me, but I like those others so much more, I doubt this one will get played much. I don't exactly dislike this recording, but it doesn't come close to my favorites.

Classic Alternative Indie is Solid Ground for Future Music.......2003-05-05

'On This Planet' is a Live experiences for the testing gorund for sonic topography music. Steve Roach is an innovator into this rising inspiration of new types of indie music. His use of musical artifacts to bring together these compositions into an atmospheric art form are a work in itself. Some of these that Roach uses are various analog and digital synthesizers, didgeridoo, Northern Sonoran Dreampipe, matae (grinding stone), clay water pots, Udu drum, prehispanic flutes, assorted percussion, effect processors. The result is a collection of on-the-edge soundscapes from another world and dark ambient journeys. Others performers that accompany Roach in his creation of profound sound pieces are: Patrick O'Hearn on bass guitar, Roger King on pulse bass and Omar Faruk Tekbilek on bandir, darbuka and baglama. The voice you hear on 'Heart of the Tempest' are Linda Kohanov. She is accompanying voices with Roach on 'Remember It Now." Roach does his own vocals on 'Journey of One.' Since Roach has beeen doing this for 20 years and has done live music performances. He's known to have said he strives for the intensity that can be seen in front of an audience. He encourages his audience to travel the terrain he has mapped 'On This Planet' at it's volume level. So turn it up and feel the journey into your soul and let your spirit soar. If you liked the sounds of Suspended Memories (compilation with Roach), Vidna Obmana, Patrick O'Hearn and Robert Rich (did 'SoMa' with Roach) you're in for a surprise.

Classic Steve Roach.......2002-11-03

Since I've been able to have the good fortune of seeing Steve Roach perform live in Philadelphia, I can tell this album definitely captures the excitement of a live concert. Steve Roach combines some elements from "Origins" and "The Magnificent Void" to create a very intense and exciting musical journey. Throw in plenty of didgeridoo and this is one of Steve Roach's best shamanic albums.

One of his most addictive recordings to date.......2000-12-18

Those attracted to the techno-influenced sounds of Roach's collaboration with Vir Unis, "Body Electric", will find "On This Planet" irresistible. Based on the idea of creating an album based on improvisational live performances, Roach has seeked to bring the energy of his concerts back to the studio. He's done it before with albums like "Stormwarning" (1989), now available on his Timeroom Editions label (Tuscon, AZ). But unlike that recording which was entirely live and with no overdubs, "On This Planet" shows Roach taking tracks from different venues and improving upon them dramatically. From the thunderous cacaphony of "Heart of the Tempest" to the tribal-techno of "Remember It Now", it resembles a "greatest hits" album of sorts without really being such, more of an example of his different styles from different periods in his 20+ year-long career. As a result it's perfect for the newcomer along with the veteran fan.

Perhaps as significant an album as "Dreamtime Return", "Origins", and "The Magnificent Void", "On This Planet" offers some of Roach's deepest music yet. It clearly affirms what one reviewer said earlier, that he has become the "master of creating landscapes of the mind." Or of interstellar space, or of underwater expanses of ocean, or racing through the desert at the speed of sound, for example. Whatever your imagination has in store, Roach provides the perfect soundtrack to create your own mental roadmap.

Along with his usual assortment of synths, FX processors, and percussion, he ties in the exotic sounds of the bandir, darbuka, and baglama courtesy of Omar Faruk Tekbilek. Together they create a seething cauldron of frentic, runaway rhythms and howling digeridoo on "Void Memory 4" that is truly blistering in intensity as well as volume...rarer still when you consider that much of Roach's work doesn't rise above the 50-60 decibel level.

Roach's unique approach to electronic music leaves much to be desired by most of his peers. Instead of impressing us with his technical wizardry, he is more concerned with creating emotional sounds that have an uncanny way of impressing the intellect as well. He hasn't quite shaken his "Berlin School" (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze) inspiration, as evidenced by the hyperkinetic nature of "On This Planet"...he's simply perfected an earthier approach he added to his music over a decade ago with "Dreamtime Return". This is the best example of electroacoustic music of the spacey/rhythmic variety yet.

Roach's best.......1999-03-27

this is Roach's best shamanic CDs to date, this is like the perfection of his previous works and loose ends tied up for that phase of his evlovement

Wow oh Wow. Best Vocal Trance.......2007-05-08

I have been listening to Vocal Trance for the past, oh, maybe 8 years. I love it. You get a certain feeling through your whole body when you hear one that is just "magical". This does it! You chills, you almost cry. DJ Shog is amazing in his work. This CD Single is amazing because non of the remixes let you down at all.
