Sacred Spaces

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Sacred Spaces is a meditative and sublime excursion of quiet rumination with exotic flute melodies elegantly interwoven against an ambient landscape of acoustic guitar, harp and gentle hypnotic percussion. A peaceful and soothing collection, this CD is ideal for massage, meditation or relaxation with a varied range of influences and musical styles.

Steven has lived a life devoted to music, healing and inner peace influenced by Native American cultures as well as cultures from the Far East. It's been his desire to achieve a unique and new form of musical expression, with the use of various ethnic instruments, to inspire, heal and to ‘create beauty beyond words to touch deeply in places yet unknown'.

After dark descents into the abyss on The Magnificent Void and Midnight Moon, Steve Roach lightens up the textures a bit on the double CD Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces. The mood harkens back to his influential 1984 release, Structures From Silence, but the atmospheres are more textured and layered while melody is virtually non-existent. And while Structures had a slow motion pulse, Mystic Chords hangs rhythm free. It floats in a space of richly detailed, but minutely shifting sound constructs that owe more to Gyorgy Ligeti and Mark Rothko than early Roach touchstones like Klaus Schulze and Salvador Dali. Roach is creating a free fall through space, less rooted in the pulsing techno-tribal sound of his 1990s music, and more ecstatic in its evocations of something beyond. He carries you to groaning turgid depths, then lifts you as electric guitar glides and synthesizers gurgle, shudder, and swell in an Aurora Borealis of sound. --John Diliberto

Disappointing.......2007-08-04

While I recognize the artistry that created Steve Roach's, "Magnificent Void," I was completely underhwelmed by this set of several hours of his drone music. If you don't know by now, the drone sound is created by holding down several adjacent keys on a synthesizer and twiddling with the controls. This can add an interesting effect but unless this varies enough to maintain interest, it can also be tedious - like listening to white noise for hours on end. The drone sound is to Roach what the repetitive arpeggio is to Philip Glass. Both composers are capable of fascinating music. But both composers can also be slackers and substitute their signature sound/trick for intelligent and new music. If you like drones, this will be up your alley. rather than finding a fascinating soundscape to escape to and meditate in, I found this very boring.

Amazing sounds!.......2007-05-26

I bought this CD to use for a shamanic journey that I was hoping to go on. The two CDs are very soothing and very suitable for meditations or for just relaxing. The sounds are amazing.

A harkening back to Quiet Music.......2006-03-19

Steve Roach has so many roots that to say he is harkening back to any one of them requires additional explanation. In this case he is reaching deeply into his more meditative sounds, akin to but by no means a repeat of "Structures from Silence" and "Quiet Music."
The first time I played this double album I had some guests over discussing a novel one of them had written. Just hearing it once lead to another sale to someone who was completely unfamiliar with Steve's music. Very melodious beautiful sounds.

Diamond of Eternity.......2005-10-12

So, that's much more than music. This album is a treasure!!!
I could rate it even with infinity of stars if I could!!!
It is STAR itself.

Synths and pads, which come under your skin and you feel part of this sensation. When I listen to it - I close my eyes and find myself drifting through the Universe. It is exactly what I always wish to hear when I think of Time and Space, about eternity. Real MASTERPIECE!!! So, this album is destinied to have it in collection for those, who wants to go loose in order to forget anything uncomfortable and boring.
Happy flight to the STARS!!!

A masterpiece........2005-06-12

This is easily one of Steve Roach's finest hours - well, 5 hours to be more precise, if you get the complete set (it is available in either a 2-CD or 4-CD version). Disc 1 of 4, Mystic Chords, is what I would call the "classic" organic ambient style of Steve Roach; Labyrinth is his dark ambient style; Recent Future is a tasty variety sampler platter; and Piece of Infinity is one of Steve's trademark minimal long-form works, perhaps the subtlest and softest he has ever done. My favorite is the first disc, 5 tracks running from nearly 12 to just over 20 minutes each. There are great highs and lows, wonderful deep drones and high shimmering tones, all richly layered in an organic primordial soup that touches a vibrant nerve for a thoroughly soothing listening experience. Reaching deeper still is Labyrinth, 10 tracks that plunge deep into "The Otherworld," a track which is representative of the intense darkness found at several moments on disc two. Though undeniably Roach, I'm also reminded here of old haunting Schulze numbers from the early 1970s. Disc 3, Recent Future, is still a little dark, but not as much as Labyrinth. Not a beat is heard, but the variety on these 13 tracks while retaining a cohesive quality is remarkable. Light, dark, simple, complex, visceral, elegant - all are apt adjectives to describe the music. Sample to your heart's delight, or better yet, play it through from beginning to end and hear the flow as Steve intended. Consider it time very well spent.
