This release presents perhaps the most intense set of live sequencer music you will experience. Recorded at two sold out concerts in the mid 80s' using all analog hardware gear, with what amounted to an entire studio setup on stage, the focus and development of the pieces as they unfold before your very ears is unmatched. STORMWARNING takes you to the outer edges of Steve Roach's music where he engages in a driving high-energy sound first explored on albums EMPETUS, and NOW / TRAVELER. In the live performances of STORMWARNING, Roach unlocks the synchronous perfection of sequencers, creating elaborate, interlocking patterns that weave into infinite, Escher-like designs, set against Roach's skyscraping synthesizer fury. John Diliberto - Echoes This later version of the release includes "Day Three", a 21 minute sequencer piece which was recorded on Steve's first tour of Germany in 1991 and definitely feels like a missing piece to the puzzle in terms of its musical content and energy. Those who love the high-energy dramatic sequencer era of Steve's work will love this edition at over 70 minutes total playing time.

Stormwarning is a series of live performances that truly takes you inside the creative storm that is Steve Roach's music or, as he's referred to it, the "sound current."
