Artist History Inspired early on by the music of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and the European electronic music of the 70's, Steve started his musicial explorations directly on synthesizers at the age of 19. He made his recording debut with the album NOW in 1982. Two years later he created one of the most pivotal albums of his early career, STRUCTURES FROM SILENCE (re-issue 2001, Projekt) which was one of the landmark ambient releases of the 80's, presenting a new sound for its time which lives on today. ---- Recognized worldwide as one of the leading innovators of contemporary electronic music, he has released over 50 albums since 1981, including the 1997 award-winning live-studio masterpiece ON THIS PLANET (Fathom), 1998's critically acclaimed THE MAGNIFICENT VOID (Fathom), the time-traveling EARLY MAN (Projekt) and a number of albums that are already considered classics of the genre, most notably the ground-breaking double CD DREAMTIME RETURN (1988). All of Roach's early works have stood the test of time, drawing a new generation of fans who are only beginning to discover the vast territory of sonic innovation this artist has covered over the last two decades. ---- For more archaelogical finds, please visit us at steveroach.com and read Steve's official bio.
