Now (1982) is the debut album by American ambient musician Steve Roach. During the time that this album was recorded, Steve Roach performed frequent live concerts. Often immediately after these performances he would return to his home studio to record his newly inspired material. Many of the tracks on this album were created in this manner.
Most of the tracks on this album are fast paced pieces recorded with such complex array of analog sequencers and innovative production techniques that it resembled MIDI. There is one textural ambient piece titled "Cloud Motion". There is a strong sense of unusual experimentalism throughout the album.
In 1992 Now was rereleased with Steve Roach’s second album Traveler as Now / Traveler.
