Description:
A group for all fans of Immersion : One masterpiece album by Steve Roach, his sequels too.

Immersion : One is an awesome album.It has something very characteristic to it ; it is consisted of perfect sounds tied together with an equally great production.Immersion : One is made of quite a few layers implementing totally entrancing patterns.It's really impressive that the whole album is structured and built according to just one melodic phrase which is enriched,accompanied and complicated in a very smooth and natural way throughout the whole album.

=-=

Immersion : Two (aka Artifact Ghost) is for sure the darkest of all five Immersions. Despite the dark touch it's not heavy dark ambient like Brian Lustmord or Robert Rich, it remains subtle and ethereal but with a mysterious,eerie feel to it.

It's quite similar to Immersion : One in that the whole track is based on a melodic phrase repeated all over the album, which phrase is enriched by multiple layers of drones or non-droney sounds, so it retains the hypnotic and entrancing character of Immersion : One.

    I just crawl under the carpet while listening to "Where Rasa Lives" from new album "Back To Life"...

    Firstly - great group! I'm addicted to all the Immersion albums, especially Immersion: Three (First Light"!!!) Same as user KozmikTentacles mentioned I would add "The Dream Circle" and "A Deeper Silence" to the similiar vibe..... and I would add great albums "Darkest Before Dawn" and "Slow Heat" . "Piece of Infinity" from Mystic Chords and Sacred Spaces fits perfectly. Two next "immersion-like" long pieces are "Revealing the Secret" and "Somewhere Else" recorded with Vidna Obmana, as well as "Spirit Dome" album. I listen to a lot of Mathias Grassow and Klaus Wiese music - a lot of perfect and very much "immersion-oriented" sounds.

    a thread with all long pieces greater >40min would be really cool, new listeners could use it as a signpost

    @nick Hard to tell. I barely know 1,3,5 - so I'm not rating them untill I give a proper listen. Four is really good, great background for staying up late, purple mist baby. I'm familiarizing myself with 2, but third time in a row I just slept with my headphones on :P Maybe I should listen to it a little earlier than 1-2 am at night

    I think there are other subtle long-form pieces that are worth to mention such as The Dream Circle and A Deeper Silence. They fit in here too.

    Hehe exactly the same as cometbus. Night_Driver tell us how much you rate the rest of immersions too ;]

    4 - for now. Looks like 2 is kinda ..underappreciated, besides thats Steve's personal favorite immersion.
