Truth & Beauty: The Lost Pieces Volume Two (1999) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach. Like the first Lost Pieces, this album is a collection of pieces that were either temporally lost in Steve Roach’s archive of recording or released on limited edition, multi artist compilations.
Contents
The first seven tracks are tribal ambient with a more conventionally structured and straightforward approach than most of Roach’s tribal projects. Three of the tracks were recorded while Steve Roach was a member of the trio Suspended Memories. “Earthman” and “Fate Awaits” were recorded with Spanish electric guitarist and Suspended Memories collaborator Suso Saiz.
The last three tracks are more atmospheric and experimental. “The Unreachable Place (Again)” has a dark mysterious atmosphere punctuated by isolated piano chords. “The Unbroken Promise” is a slow pulsating piece with recorded natural ambience similar to Slow Heat. “This and the Other” is a rich, expansive atmosphere punctuated by sparse, random notes giving it a surrealist atmosphere.
