5.0 out of 5 stars Another Spectacular Journey By Steve Roach, February 6, 2008

Embark on the awe-inspiring journey Steve Roach has created for us this time around. The lluminating fractal expanse envelops you and you become one with the music. Layers of sonic wonder permeate you as you listen. This is a true gem of a double album. The treated didgeridoo on disc 2 is a nice touch. I am very satisfied with this work. If you like Steve Roach and other ambient music, you will probably be satisfied too. Enjoy!

Steve Roach is THE Most Important Artist working in AMBIENT MUSIC today.

Roach's Latest Opus is filled with a wonderously fluid emotive power. It moves flawlessly from a DEEP OCEAN AMBIENCE, then (for approximately 40 minutes) soars into an almost tribal RHYTHMIC AMBIENT stratosphere, reminiscient of Tangerine Dream's RUBYCON, and out into the majesty of DEEP SPACE, where you will witness the movement of the universe.

One of the most amazing pieces of music I've ever heard. From Roach or anyone else. Truly one of Steve Roach's Best albums. A beautiful and inspired Sonic MASTERPIECE that belongs in your collection, right next to your copies of THE MAGNIFICENT VOID and MYSTIC CHORDS & SACRED SPACES.

ENJOY.

5.0 out of 5 stars A passionate and ambitious project., February 28, 2008

Steve Roach ranks as among my favorite new age artists of all time and "Arc of Passion" is proof of how Roach still manages to innovate and generate some spectacular music. This newest album is an ambitious project featuring three super-epic pieces, the second piece is broken up into two tracks in which each half is on two discs. Overall, this album partially reminds me of the trippiness of Underworld's 1996 masterpiece "Second Toughest In The Infants" twelve years earlier. The overall album is really felt by listening from start to finish. Only then will you really appreciate the full beauty of this ambitious project.
