Trance Spirits (2002) is the collaborative album by American ambient musicians Steve Roach, Jeffrey Fayman and guest musicians Robert Fripp and Momodou Kah.[2]

Songs

The album starts with "Taking Flight," full of repetitive rhythms and themes, percussive groove. The title track, "Trance Spirits", begins with a slow series of rhythms and atmospheres. In the middle of the album, tracks "Off Spring", "Seekers" and "The Calling" are pure ambient soundscapes with percussive edges. "Year of the Horse" has a synthetic and electric rhythm. The final track, "In the Same Deep Water", contains ethereal drone themes with drumming by Fayman and Momodou Kah.

Reception

AllMusic rated the album 4.5 out of 5, stating that, overall, "The sum total is a different direction for Roach and a deep and even transformational listening journey for anyone who takes the chance."
