Review

Down Beat (10/96, p.62) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...Roach creates...deep drones and swirls of sound, a perception of vast stillness and infinite distance. For this ultimate abstraction, Roach strips away most conventional reference points, achieving a kind of sensory deprivation....With repeated listenings, THE MAGNIFICENT VOID always yields something new."

Title Note

Personnel: Steve Roach; Linda Kohanov, Cantrell Maryott (vocals).

Recorded at The Timeroom, Tucson, Arizona.

Even longtime Steve Roach fans will be surprised by the intent and intricacies to be found on THE MAGNIFICENT VOID. Those quick to exact demarcation points might label this venture 'dark ambient' (a term faintly describing the interstice between industrial, post-industrial, and contemporary ambient music), but this is the stuff of microgalactic myth and psychic sinkholes. Roach's acoustic and synthetic rhythms are in deliberate absence here; instead, electronic seeds the color of blackest ebony open and begin to flower within a great emptiness, as drones erupt and begin to vibrate with a tangible, almost malevolent pulse. In retrospect, this recording might be the flip side of QUIET MUSIC--where that disc's becalming sound situates listeners in a place of introspection, VOID challenges you with its spooky veneer, manipulations of silence, and awry time suspension. It is a confrontational surface that pitches darkwave as the black cousin of ambience, menacing yet simultaneously profound. Here, Roach has transcended mere genre music and pithy cliches by lighting a candle and embracing the darkness.
