Steve Roach already had a couple of engaging releases under his belt prior to the release of Structures From Silence, showcasing his already committed approach to the exploratory electronic school of acts like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. But Structures was the breakout moment, three lengthy tracks that remain among the most emotionally stirring and serenely memorable in his extensive catalog, including the half-hour long title track and especially the muted fanfare of “Quiet Friend,” which has become a regular live standard.
