Allmusic [1]

Stream of Thought is the first collaborative album by American ambient musician Steve Roach and Norwegian musician Erik Wøllo .[1][2] Described as "A continuous stream of sonic consciousness", with an uninterrupted flow of 19 interconnected pieces. The concept to the album’s structure was like film editing, with a sense of time and pacing consciously developed to activate a visceral experience. In 2011 The Road Eternal was released, their second collaboration album.

Reception

[edit]

AllMusic rated the album a 3.5 of 5, saying "ultimately this is an album for dedicated fans of either artist rather than newcomers".
