The influence of groups like Tangerine Dream -and Vangelis is still audible, but Structures from Silence is its own notable peak, the first of many astonishing highlights for Roach.
Ahhh... Ambient music. What couldn't be a better genre to listen to at night when you need something to relax?
I've been hearing about Structures From Silence thanks to another scavenger hunt through RYM's best albums.
There's not much for me to say here since there's only 3 tracks, but what I can say is this:
