Took by breath away!.......2007-01-27

Words cannot do this work of art any justice with this review. Spanning two-CDs, Steve Roaches 1988 magnum-opus "Dreamtime Returns" is arguably my favorite release of his to date even though I've since gotten other albums by him as well.

I first heard this album when browsing through a local public library already having his "Dreaming Now Then" compilation. I felt it would be great to try this one out but I never expected it to be this wonderful. Though I can argue about some other songs from his previous and subsequent releases, there is a transcendance that is found on "Dreamtime Returns" that I don't think is as strong on his other albums. DR had me entranced the moment I first started playing it.

"Songline" is almost pure Aboriginal paradise with mostly traditional drums and a spine-tingling didjeridou, a strong contrast to the rest of the album. "Circular Ceremony" is so beautiful that it worked up a tear or two in my eyes. The song has a haunting, minor note melody combined with rain sticks to give a sense of stillness near an approaching thunderstorm.

Absolute "Must-have" Roach classic.......2006-05-17

This is my favorite album of any artist of any genre. There are no words to describe the subtle moods and emotional depths of this work - you simply have to listen to it. If you're looking for a mysterious, hypnotic journey into the wild and primal world of the ancient Aborigines of Australia, then start your "walkabout" here.

It's just that good..........2005-10-26

This is one of the great Steve Roach albums. It is a must own, but make sure you buy the remastered version, which Steve remastered himself. If you're a new progressive-ambient listener, this is a great place to start. Five stars. If I could, I'd give it more.

good.......2005-08-23

The second half of the cd is what i bought it for, very deeply calming.

I Like Empetus Better.......2005-08-07

This double album is very subtle and plain most of the time. I prefer things to take shape more. You have to be in a very specific mood to fully appreciate this work.
