Truth & Beauty: The Lost Pieces Volume Two
Truth & Beauty: The Lost Pieces Volume Two (1999) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach. Like the first Lost Pieces, this album is a collection of pieces that were either temporally lost in Steve Roach’s archive of recording or released on limited edition, multi artist compilations.
The first seven tracks are tribal ambient with a more conventionally structured and straightforward approach than most of Roach’s tribal projects. Three of the tracks were recorded while Steve Roach was a member of the trio Suspended Memories. “Earthman” and “Fate Awaits” were recorded with Spanish electric guitarist and Suspended Memories collaborator Suso Saiz.
The last three tracks are more atmospheric and experimental. “The Unreachable Place (Again)” has a dark mysterious atmosphere punctuated by isolated piano chords. “The Unbroken Promise” is a slow pulsating piece with recorded natural ambience similar to Slow Heat. “This and the Other” is a rich, expansive atmosphere punctuated by sparse, random notes giving it a surrealist atmosphere.

Famous quotes containing the words lost, pieces and/or volume:
“A more voluptuous night I never enjoyed. Five times was I fairly lost in supreme rapture. Louisa was madly fond of me; she declared I was a prodigy.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“The other 1000 are principally the ‘old Yankee stock,’ who have lost the town, politically, to the Portuguese; who deplore the influx of the ‘off-Cape furriners’; and to whom a volume of genealogy is a piece of escape literature.”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
