Since its release in 1988, Dreamtime Return earned its reputation as a genuine classic. The magnum opus is one of the most important, widely known and highly respected release in Roach's vast body of work. It serves as an essential benchmark within the electronic-ethno-atmospheric genre. Roach's travels in the Australian outback, along with studies of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, and his desert walkabouts in California were the lifeblood for this recording which even today sounds like a transmission from the near future and the very distant past.
Stephen Hill, Hearts of Space Radio: "(It) richly deserves its classic status, but Roach also deserves credit for leading electronic musicians out of their sheltered studios and into an active relationship with the landscape, the wider world, and deep cultural history. The whole genre is stronger and more relevant for his example."
With new vinyl-manufacturing-metal sourced from the 2018 high definition remaster, the true expansive depth of this iconic masterpiece has been meticulously unveiled, revealing a refined listening experience. Mastering engineer Howard Givens utilized an extensive array of analog and digital tools and his passion for this seminal work to restore the original sonic nature and visionary intention, taking the listener deeper into the dreamtime.
John Diliberto Echoes Radio: "This is more than a seminal recording that has influenced a generation of musicians. It's a portal into a universe where technological designs merge deep inside primordial moods. When you shout out at the edge of the world, Dreamtime Return is the echo that calls back to you."
