This is the first solo album by Steve Roach on the Projekt label. Another first is the fact that this album does not contain any synthesizer keyboard sounds. The entire album is realized through the use of the Stratocaster guitar, the Ebow and various processing effects. Like so much of Steves music, atmosphere plays the biggest part in the sound that becomes a Steve Roach album. MIDNIGHT MOON explores on the whole a rather dark terrain, but containing all the right elements to absorb the listener in a cocoon of ritual intensity, deep probing music to explore thesmall hours with.
Steves introduction to the guitar and the playing of it was through curiosity. The results being fresh but still containing that certain Roach sound which has been so powerful and popular over the years.
