CD  $11.99  ON SALE, $9.99  iTunes  Truth & Beauty Steve Roach 2010 Timeroom Editions / Projekt PRO241 (CD) Reviewed by Exposé, Sequences, Synth Music Direct TRUTH & BEAUTY is a perfect blend of Steve's rich atmospheric and tribal ambient infused work. Originally released in March 1999 on Steve's own Timeroom Editions label, this album is now co-released by Timeroom and Projekt, at a nice price. This will be the first time the album is available in retail stores. Though the 10 tracks were recorded over an 11-year period in different environments and for different creative projects, they work remarkably well together as a whole. Five of the tracks are previously unreleased covering sessions from DREAMTIME RETURN, the Suspended Memories collaboration with Suso Saiz on guitar, STORMWARNING and ARTIFACTS. Complementing those pieces are 5 tracks recorded specifically for now out-of-print international compilations. They work together to create a connected storyline, like the soundtrack for an imaginary film. TRUTH & BEAUTY is an exploration into the enduring power of Steve Roach's artistic vision.   1.  Aftermath RealAudioMP3 9:11   2.  The Majestic Void RealAudio 5:36   3.  Fall of the Moai MP3 1:53   4.  Earthman RealAudioMP3 9:44   5.  Fate Awaits RealAudioMP3 8:29   6.  Beyond the Blood MP3 5:15   7.  Before the Sacrifice RealAudioMP3 6:51   8.  The Unreachable Place (Again) RealAudio 9:38   9.  The Unbroken Promise RealAudioMP3 7:50   10.  This and the Other RealAudioMP3 11:20   A Timeroom Editions / Projekt joint re-release. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 previously unreleased; 4, 5 with Suso Saiz.
