Monday's Long Song

Back to work today, back into the building. 

I found this recently on an ambient music group on social media, an album by Steve Roach called Tomorrow, and it's turned out to be a bit of a mid- November treat. The five tracks are minimal, electronic pieces, recurring and repetitive melodies and loops, floating and hypnotising sounds that draw you in and don't let go. Ambient transcendence, recorded in a burst when his gig in New York in March was cancelled due to Covid and lockdown. The opener and title track is twenty minutes long and it's followed by this one, a full twenty five minutes of sound...

The three tracks that follow are comparatively short, clocking in at nineteen, seven and twelve minutes respectively. Steve describes the sound on Tomorrow as 'elegant futurism'. The lockdown and spread of Covid and subsequent cancellation of his show led to a 'tomorrow state of mind' and this album was the result. Highly recommended if you like this kind of thing. Buy it at Bandcamp  at a 'name your own price' rate which is very generous and really you should throw Steve a few pounds/ dollars/ Euros for this
