about

Now Then is an album that I thought I had completely lost. I had started work on the foundations of these tracks when my computer died. And though I usually do this right away I hadn't backed up the files.
So I built a new recording PC and moved on from there, thinking I would never recover that album and began recording my next one, Moth In Flames.
A few months back I was looking in a hard drive and was surprised to find a subfolder that had mixes of the pieces I thought I had lost and discovered that they were mixed well enough I could continue adding to them and finally finish it.
There was a period when I took a break from writing spacemusic, but enough time had passed that when I found these tracks I realized that finishing them would be the perfect way to shift gears back into writing electronic music.
I added a few new parts and segued all the tracks together to form one long 46-minute piece, classic style. I wanted a sound that blended precision and clear cut lines with the more impressionistic progressive and psychedelic approach to spacemusic.

Life to Come

honestly this album takes quite a bit of time and many listening rounds to actually "get into". No doubt it is technically excellent, with more advanced composition elements than earlier records, however it isn't that easily accessible either. Perhaps this is actually a strength as each time you will listen to there will be more details to discover. Martin Richter

Skeleton Keys

One of my favourite Steve Roach albums, satisfying sequencered sound ticks along nicely, sometimes blossoming slightly, but mainly restrained, contained, but within an immense line-of-sight propagation. ‘Classic’ electronic music album. AMALGAMATED WONDERS OF THE WORLD

No one can sound like Edgar Froese except Edgar Froese ... and ... Paul Lawler (aka Arcane)! If you’re missing Edgar, this is an essential purchase. Absolutely masterful. Paul, please perform this live; I’d love to see and hear it in a live setting. Dale Moore
