Has anyone seen the title "Impetus" by Steve Roach in CD form? If not, then can someone recommend a store with a large "New Age" selection of CD's? Rockit Records on the Daniel Webster Highway maybe? Thanks for any help you can give. marty

I have this disc. I believe that I got it at Newberry Comics. If you
have the LP, I'm not sure that the CD is a good investment. It
doesn't seem to be a terribly good recording. I am quite enamored
of the music, though. Are there any other Steve Roach titles that
you would recommend? I've haven't have much luck asking at stores.
Recent word has it that Fortuna, the record company which produced
"Empetus," has gone under and sold out to Columbia, leaving the artists
and reperetory in limbo.
Having liked both of the Fortuna discs that I have, "Empetus" and
"Transfer Station Blue" by Michael Shrieve, I would like to snatch
up any other Fortuna releases before they disappear.

re. .1 Thanks for the information. Actually a friend referred me to the title and I haven't heard anything else by Steve Roach. It seems I even had the title wrong? I thought it was "Impetus". My introduction to "New Age" type music started with "Oxygene", "Equinoxe" and "Les Chantes Magnetiques" by Jean-Michel Jarre and I've been hooked ever since. It's not easy to discover other good works of this genre because this type of music doesn't get much airplay. So I rely on the recommendations of others with similar tastes. | |||||

The spelling on the disc is indeed "Empetus." It looks wrong to
me, too.
If this sort of music interests you, I would also suggest Michael
Hoenig's "Xcept One" on Cinema records. I know that I got it at
Boston CD.
