Grammy Nominated for “Best New Age Album” at the 60th annual Grammy Awards (2017).

The sound of life, interconnected and unfurling. The spiral – a visual symbol of eternity – is a recurring metaphoric theme in Roach’s pioneering electronic work. Interpreted into musical form, these six spiraling sonic experiences offer a living activation that connects with a sense of the infinite. Roach’s long history and love of analog sequencer-based styles reveal a continuing, evolving awakening within these 63 minutes. Using only analog and hardware instruments to focus the mind’s ear upon a filigree of intricate patterns woven with a direct hands-on approach, the artist sculpts and caresses sound into being in real time. An emotional through-line brings life to these pieces as the unfurling of time’s windings connects to the vivid present, life-affirming and illuminated. A masterful expression of an artist who infuses his soul into the art form of electronic music.

Echoes Radio, John Diliberto: “Spiral Revelation stands out as a true, mind-tripping, trance inducing album. A quintessential example of Roach’s sequencer driven oeuvre.”

All Music Guide: “Steve Roach's first work to be nominated for a Grammy award (in the New Age category), Spiral Revelation revisits his Berlin-school roots. It’s a sequencer-driven work filled with swirling textures and flickering arpeggios, constantly venturing down a path toward personal enlightenment. Crafted with Roach's expansive analog hardware synth set-up, there's a very tactile feel to these pieces, as he shapes and guides them in real time. It sounds spontaneous, yet there's a very clear sense of direction. Best of all is the 20-minute title track which concludes the release, which offsets rapid pulsations with a slower bass thump. While such a combination could be dizzying, Roach manages to do it in a way that stimulates the brain. Magnificent, well though-out work, as always.”
