CD Steve Roach, Vir Unis – Body Electric

Body Electric is a high-energy, exultant collaboration between ambient pioneer Steve Roach and percussion master Vir Unis. Released on the renowned Projekt label, this album represents a powerful departure from the artist’s calmer, deep-drift explorations, delivering a driving, "shamanic" sonic experience that demands full-body engagement.

Described as an organic alternative to faceless electronica, the album serves as a masterclass in "ambient groove." The soundscape is densely layered with electronic growls, industrial textures, mystical hoots, and sounding stones. While tracks like "Mind Link" and "Pure Expansion" showcase vast, psychedelic atmospheres, the inclusion of a "mantra beat" on "Spirit Moves" highlights the record's rhythmic heartbeat.

Key Features:

• Genre: Electronic / Techno-Tribal Ambient / Shamanic Groove.
• Personnel: Steve Roach (Guitar, Ebow, Processing) and Vir Unis (Fractal Grooves), with various guest sidemen.
• Sound Profile: Surreal, hallucinogenic, and industrial, yet "organically human."
• Listening Experience: Optimized for low-volume continuous playback or focused, high-intensity listening.

For fans of Roach’s On This Planet and the "processed guitar" soundworlds of Midnight Moon, Body Electric is an essential, landmark reissue that bridges the gap between digital processing and primal rhythm.
