"Released in 1998, Roach & King's vivid world of desert reveries continues to engage new listeners with a sound that rides trails no electronic artist has travelled before or since. Dust to Dust's guitars, harmonicas and washboard rhythms find their place next to a wagon full of electronics on nine tracks revealing the slow heat of wide-open spaces and barren environments. The ambient-blues grows in the cactus shadow swathes of haunting atmospheres and Morricone-like nylon twang flourishes. It's a bold narrative of bygone eras with haunting melodies drawn from the desertscape told with the instruments of old and new pioneers. This is the music, and even more the soundtrack, to lingering ghosts and lost but not forgotten dreams of restless souls driven to 'Go West by God!' It's a transcendent musical masterpiece, an alluring, provocative legend inspired by the rolling tumbleweeds, barren landscape, and hardscrabble lifestyle of the Old West. Alternative Press: 'After looking toward these desert vistas for visions deep within and far beyond the earth, Roach pays homage to the brave souls who forged the hard road west. Joined by fellow Arizonian and guitarist Roger King. Roach's deep synths and King's Kottke-esque guitars sing and moan, allowing the sound to tell the story of an era when pioneers risked everything in pursuit of new worlds and promised fortunes. Like a ghost train winding through layers of memory and history, Dust to Dust has the mystery and allure of 150-year-old photographs of strangers whose eyes and stoic faces suggest a thousand untold stories.'"
