   Johnny Black / Back On the Tracks – 2022-11-22

   Totally absorbing CD + DVD package from America’s master of ambient electronica.
   A wealth of new releases is flowing from Steve Roach this year but, pleasingly, the increased quantity hasn’t triggered any reduction in quality.
   Kairos is a particularly ambitious project, packaged in a lush oblong triptych-style fold-out case. The case includes two versions of the music: a standard audio CD running to over 73 minutes and a lavish DVD presentation running about one minute longer, not including bonus material.
   The audio cd alone, being a remarkably varied set of eight pieces, would more than satisfy most Roach aficionados, but the music takes on a whole new dimension when played as a DVD. Roach has worked with eight different visual artists, each one contributing a very different visual presentation designed to enhance the music.

   The sequence opens with Soul’s Time”
