Fade To Gray
by Steve Roach

supported by 13 fans who also own “The Surreal Sanctuary/The Contemporary Nocturne - ZOHARUM EDITION”

You can listen to this as a pleasant wash of background music while you work; as beautiful and as meaningless as sunlight on a painted wall. Or you can focus on it and realise that actually there's a lot going on in the texture and detail of the sound. Steve Roach has made a lot of longform ambient, all of them well worth listening to, but this is one of the very best. A gem from a gem. Wylfryd Smythe
