The Magnificent Void
** 2021 Stock ** Hearts Of Space Record presents The Magnificent Void, a Magnum Opus of pure oceanic sound and Steve Roach's most sophisticated atmospheric work to date. The final track "Altus", Latin for both "high" and "deep", says much about this work.

Melody and harmony are present throughout in a surreal pl…
