about

TheAdelaidean’s growing body of minimalist, lower-case ambient music reflects a desire to explore the still places of the living mind – the ebbs and flows of mood, thought, and memory that tie human experience into a rich, multi-dimensional whole. For GOING HOME THE LONG WAY AROUND, theAdelaidean collects a track from seven of his nine Projekt albums adding two previously non-Projekt tracks to broaden the musical journey. Drawing on archival textures (e.g. his own teenage avant garde experiments from the 1980s as well as recordings by jazz pianist father-in-law Ted Nettelbeck) and enlisting collaborators such as Sam Rosenthal, Deepspace (Mirko Ruckels), and stepson Xander Monteath grants his music a layered quality reflected by the paintings of frequent cover artist Thom Buchanan, whose work graces this collection.

What’s the talk of the town?

“Stark, extreme, and beautiful … a unique sonic experience.”
— Exposé Online

“...my blessed escape hatch to a distant present. I keep going back."
— Mark Frauenfelder, Boing Boing

“I feel like I am floating in the midst of eternity, gentle currents carrying me toward an unseen destination. But this is not a frightening journey; instead it is peaceful and meditative, helping to restore one’s soul like witnessing a glorious dawn or sunset."
— Dave Aftandilian, Bandcamp

“...full of mystery, hope and despair written under the mastery of deep and ethereal synth pads."
— Alejandro Clavijo, Reviews New Age

“The perfect soundtrack for a feature film.”
— Rockerilla Magazine

“...excellent work, full of mystery and grandeur."
— Audion #69

What Remains
by Steve Roach

supported by 126 fans who also own “Going Home the Long Way Around (a collection)”

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
