5 out of 5 stars Take a deep breath.......2006-11-18

When appreciating a sculpture you look at both the space it occupies and the empty space immediately around it. Same applies to "Structures from Silence". Steve Roach allows you to transcend the music and envelop the exhalations of neutral space. This is a well composed piece which defies it's 28 min track time seeming to renew afresh forever. The syntax of opposites, music/silence sets a unique soundscape. Track two is one toe over the line into "new age" sound, but this is not a new age album. This is a significant ambient album.

I am hesitant to buy this type of music;sometimes it is just a lot of weird noise with no direction or change. Not the case here. The music has a nice flow with no irritating noises. Very peaceful, one of the best I've heard. If you like this type of music,get this.

This CD was my introduction to the work of Steve Roach, and to ambient electronic music. Based on this experience, I intend to listen to more of his work. I find this melancholy but strangely soothing music perfect for meditation and for de-stressing after work. Absolutely lovely.

5 out of 5 stars mesmerizing...........2005-12-10

The ultimate Steve Roach CD...shimmering, soothing, with nice washes of ambient textures....it is the CD to start a search of what is available in proper ambient music. There are many artists who are available in the genre...yet after listening to the title track...Steve easily distances himself from the pack....with music that is over 20 years old.....and it is still sounding fresh and new in 2005....

5 out of 5 stars A unbeatable combination..........2005-03-05

..when teamed with a massage! I've had this CD for 20 years. Used to listen to it all the time when I lived in NYC to de-stress. Brought it out today and put it on while getting a massage. If this CD speaks to you, try it with a good massage, you won't be disappointed!
