about

Michael was introduced to Chaco Canyon in a lucid dream while living in Los Angeles in 1977. This was the same year that archeo astronomer Anna Sofaer discovered the “Sun Dagger” on top of Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon. The “Sun Dagger” was the subject of her first PBS documentary of the same name. Many years and trips to Chaco later, Michael and Anna met in Santa Fe and she asked him to score her new documentary, “The Mystery of Chaco Canyon”, narrated by Robert Redford. This is the music he wrote for the film, emerging from the images, stories and his own experiences there, immersed it’s great mystery.

What Remains
by Steve Roach

supported by 57 fans who also own “The Middle Of Time”

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
