Strata (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Strata (1990) is a collaborative album by the American ambient musicians Steve Roach and Robert Rich. Robert Rich's influence on this album is strong, with complicated mixes featuring various acoustic sound sources and Rich's own brand of organic synthesis called "glurp".

There is a strong sense of surrealism throughout the album. The track titled "Persistence of Memory" is dedicated to Salvador Dalí, who died in 1989, the year recording of this album began.
