5.0 out of 5 starsTranscendental Magic, A Soul Grabber
By Bladerunner B26354 on January 22, 2005
Format: Audio CD
"Origins" is another one of those rare, absolutely treasureable albums that you do not dare sell or remove from your CD collection. Released in 1993, it is nothing short of pure musical genius at work--gloriously free of corporate pressures or boundaries: purely harmonious with genuine Aboriginal overtones, deliberate in its intent, flowing, rhythmic, uninhibited by CEO say-so's. Steve, I want to party with you, brother.

Get ready to experience total mental freedom. Track 1, "Artifacts" (the name of an album produced by Roach a year earlier), a hefty twelve minutes long, begins with the haunting sound of the Bull Roarer, the traditional communication device made of mulga wood used by the Aborigines. Gradually, the perfectly harmonious sounds of the syncopated drum beats find their way into the subconscious, taking with it the stress after a hard day, pleasantly filled in the background with the comforting sounds of the didgeridoo, the ubiquitous long, wind instrument also played in traditional aboriginal music. "Connect Underground" on Track 2 is blended seamlessly, floating into an awesome flashback to Roach's 1988 Grand Masterpiece, "Dreamtime Return," filled with synthesized waveforms and assorted percussion instruments all the way to Track 5, "Face in The Fire," where we can hear Roach's tempting whispers in the backdrop and aboriginal yawps snapping us into a surreal, neolithic trek. I dare not call it new age. In fact, I won't spoil the rest for you. You can genuinely believe all positive reviews about this work, for only genius minds think alike and could themselves appreciate the work of a genius.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsRoach's tribal-ambient masterpiece
By A Customer on January 29, 1999
Format: Audio CD
This album is the culmination of Roach's tribal-influenced explorations beginning with Dreamtime Return and continuing with his two collaborations with Robert Rich and Suspended Memories. The power of Origins reaches an almost psychotic-like intensity, best realized on "Artifacts" and "Connected Underground", with a blistering digeridoo and frame drum interlude sequing the two tracks. Other recordings by like-minded artists like Stephen Kent and TUU are pale by comparison--it gets my vote as one of the best contemporary instrumental releases of the decade, maybe of all time--Roach's truly eerie atmospheres have never sounded eerier than they do here.

5.0 out of 5 starsStructure...
By A Customer on August 17, 1999
Format: Audio CD
If you like techno-tribal a la Steve Roach (w/ Jorge Reyes), this is the one to get. I've returned to this CD many a time. I don't know why. Maybe it's the structure. Or the sheer "tribal essence" of it that my subconscious recognizes (and seeks). Ambient is OK to a point. But eventually it all starts to sound the same... Know what I mean? That's why I like "Origins". It evokes the primal like nothing else. Take the trip... You'll understand.........Tracks to emphasize in particular are Artifacts, Eyes of the Spirit, and Dreaming Now, Then. Also recommended is Suspended Memories, Forgotten Gods (again w/ Jorge and Suso). Same kind of trip. Enjoy.
