Televiper Needed that ambient drift to reset my brainwave frequencies. Favorite track: Anchorless on Quiet Tide.

Hærleif Rich is on fire
lot's of excellent releases lately !

Evergreen I'm always amazed at Robert Rich's works. This record really hits me in the best ways. Haunting, melancholy, beautiful.

Ståle Laastad in this album i feel like robert has gone "back to his roots", truly magical experience!

Richard Gürtler ...propelled by rather monochromatic layer, gliding through sublimely spacious zones, guarded by Chari Chuang's celestial voice-like washes with glancing ear-tickling reverberations, thrillingly coalesced with rattling natural symphonies and solitary deep bass undulations, and all marvelously bridged with gorgeously poetic piano glimmers. Another aural bliss and an ultimate Hall of Fame composition...

"Vestiges" album is another virtuosically polished monument by this Californian mastermind!!!

Sun Through Eyelids I am truly anchorless on quiet tide.. hidden away from the destruction of man.
Another majestic album this year from Robert Rich. Favorite track: Anchorless on Quiet Tide.

about

The final track in the download is a repeat of the entire album, flowing together continuously as I intend it. This version is uploaded in full 2496 resolution (FLAC format) so be sure to take advantage of that resolution in your download selection if you can. You will find a CUE list in the Bonus Items, which you can use to import the track names into a player like VLC. You might need to edit the filename in the CUE file with a text editor, to match the name of the file after downloading.

If you are interested in a 5.1 channel high resolution surround version, you can purchase surround downloads from Surround Music One: surroundmusic.one/album/vestiges/

=================

Adrift on slack tide, trending out into the vestiges of fading light.
The night that dawns knows nothing of this passing thought.
Quietly slipping past the buoys, ever farther from shore's embrace.

Fade To Gray
by Steve Roach

supported by 106 fans who also own “Vestiges”

You can listen to this as a pleasant wash of background music while you work; as beautiful and as meaningless as sunlight on a painted wall. Or you can focus on it and realise that actually there's a lot going on in the texture and detail of the sound. Steve Roach has made a lot of longform ambient, all of them well worth listening to, but this is one of the very best. A gem from a gem. Wylfryd Smythe
