1.The music consists mostly of subtle electronic textures, tribal percussion and occasional soprano saxophone by Kevin Braheny.This page was last modified 00:59, 10 March 2007.See Copyrights for details.Site built with Emacs, MySQL, HTML::Mason, PHP, and some random Perl code on my Linux box."Desert Walkabout" is a Braheny track, and emphasizes more of an acoustic texture.This CD was originally released on Innovative Communications, and included compositions of Richard Burmer.Burmer's tracks have a luminous quality and more of a serene feel, and contrast nicely with the darker Roach and Braheny pieces.This change may disappoint some fans of the original CD, but makes the CD a nice match for a companion release, Desert Solitaire.Western Spaces is a classic ambient space release, and one of the early highlights of Roach's career.Search for Steve Roach with the Ebay Auction Finder!MP3it
