Early Man (2000) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach. It was originally released as a limited edition CD in a specially designed package made with two slabs of gray slate. It was then rereleased in 2001 with a second disc called “Early Man Decomposed”.

The music consists of droning electronic textures and various treated sound sources to create a complicated, primeval atmospheres.
