Music reviews of Magnificent Void
Music Review: A Steve Roach Masterpiece!
Rating: 5 Stars
The Magnificent Void is a modern ambient classic by the master of the genre,the very talented and prolific Steve Roach.The album can be viewed as a dark ambient/space music album.The Magnificent Void in my opinion is what Tangerine Dream's 1972 album Zeit would sound like today if it had been released in 1996.Anyhow,regardless of comparisons,The Magnificent Void manages to exert a sound of its own,much like all of Roach's albums,which is a very good quality if I do say so myself.The album opens with the wonderfully titled,"Between The Gray & The Purple",where you can immediately feel the overall ambience of the album,relaxing yet haunting enough to keep you interested from beginning to end.This continues on track 2,"Void Memory One",the first of three brief interludes,and immediately spills over into track 3,"Infinite Shore",my personal favorite on the album.It is on this track that the strongest,most vivid washes of "Void" induced ambience engulfs you,evoking vivid images of a literal,"Infinite Shore",a shore that you don't want to leave,but of course,the music moves on,taking you to track 4,the "Cloud Of Unknowing",where you float for a seemingly eternal amount of time,when realistically,it has only been around 10 and a half minutes,10 and a half minutes of pure,uninterrupted bliss.After leaving the "cloud",another "void" memory is induced on track 5,"Void Memory Two",followed by yet another one,this time,the final,on track 6,"Void Memory Three",which leads you over to "The Magnificent Void" itself,(track 7),escorting you through the darkest regions of the "Void",where the sounds of shimmering bells,most likely synthesized,entrance you as the rising and falling synth guides you along to the final piece,track 8,"Atlus",which is the most quiet sounding and relaxing on the entire album,while also ranking as the longest track on the album,clocking in at 20 minutes,which is a good thing,the longer,the better,as is the case with Steve Roach's recordings.It is a perfect way to end a masterpiece of an ambient album.This is one that you will not want to end.My personal advice is to listen to this album at night,in an enclosed room with the light off.This is a perfect place to start if you are new to Steve Roach's music.If you like this album,I strongly recommend you try Tangerine Dream's Zeit album,you will enjoy it,I promise.I highly recommend "The Magnificent Void" for all ambient/space music fans.Enjoy!
