   INTRO: Back in 1988, STEVE ROACH followed his intuition into a
   breakthrough that launched a whole new sub-genre of electronic
   music. Searching for something less technical and more profound,
   he took a trip to the Australian outback, where he encountered
   the primordial artifacts of a 40,000 year old Aboriginal culture.
   The result was the classic album DREAMTIME RETURN, a fusion of
   tribal sounds and instruments like the didgeridoo — with
   electronics, trance percussion, and ambient atmospherics.
   Today we call it techno-tribal.
      It's worth pondering just what kind of nerve he struck.
   Techno-tribal music took a big step toward humanizing and
   deepening electronic music, expanding its rhythmic palette, and
   reconnecting it to a much older tradition of psychoactive sound.
   And when we open ourselves to the music of so-called "primitive"
   cultures, we not only gain that experience, but a greater sense
   of perspective on our own culture.
