Ambient pioneer, Steve Roach, is set to release the 30th anniversary edition of his seminal work, Structures from Silence. The release comes out April 15, 2014 on Projekt Records. This is a record before its time. It is Roach's third record and found him striking out into new territory. Previously his work had been similar (although certainly not identical) to "space music." This is another area entirely and is the recording where Roach came of age as a composer.
And that is what the best of ambient musicians are--modern composers. Sure some just make random noises and are terrible. There were bad classical composers too. Hell there are bad rock bands (Nickelback). Roach is a creative force to be reckoned with and this is a worthy subject for a three CD set reissue.
There will also be a reissue of the single disc version. You can preview it HERE.
