Review
Owing a healthy debt to European synthesists like Klaus Shulze and Tangerine Dream, Structures from Silence is perhaps the best of Roach's early outings. Though it lacks the organic feel of later albums like Dreamtime Return or Well of Souls, it exploits sounds and compositional techniques that Roach would continue to refine: flowing sheets of near-choral synth sound; long, slow melodies drawn out of overtones and partials; implied rhythms built from pulses of electronic tone. Made up of only three pieces, including the epic 29-minute title track, Silence found an audience among meditators and musical therapists; no wonder, since its reflective properties echo what Roach has called the music's essence: "What [you feel] when it ends, a returning to the silence." --James RotondiOwing a healthy debt to European synthesists like Klaus Shulze and Tangerine Dream, Structures from Silence is perhaps the best of Roach's early outings.
