Steve Roach: Second Nature – COMPACT DISCS

ROACH, STEVE -& ROBERT LOGAN- – SECOND NATURE – Pushing the boundaries of perception-expanding music, Steve Roach and Robert Logan release two vastly different albums (‘Second Nature’, here on CD, and ‘Biosonic’) which serve as transmissions of powerful emotion and exploration – a blending of man and machine. ‘Biosonic’s elegant futurism and ‘Second Nature’s romantic minimalism are distinct, yet intimately linked within subtle, pulsing, body-mind states. The former’s darkly ecstatic, deeply-layered, electro-neural atmosphere contrasts with the latter’s nuanced, spare, ambient-atmospheric piano tone paintings.
