The mystic Soma-plant symbolizes that element behind all sense-
activities and their enjoyments which yields the divine essence."
SoMA, the album celebrates creative activity, "...the principle of bliss
...ÓOh sing a song, a song of praise
to the clear and swiftly flowing
Drop of crystal with a thousand eyes
-Rig Veda IX.60.1, Hymn of Purification

The word soma appears over 3000 years ago in the Indian Vedic
scriptures as the divine nectara drug/food with powerful physical,
mental, and spiritual properties. According to one commentator, Soma
is "...the principle of bliss...the essence, in sense-objects and sense-
experiences, in the plants and growths of the earth-nature. The
mystic Soma-plant symbolizes that element behind all sense-activities
and their enjoyments which yields the divine essence." For the
classical Greeks, soma meant 'body' and is the root of English words
like somatic. (Soma also appeared infamously in Aldous Huxley's novel
Brave New World as the quasi-narcotic pleasure drug which kept the
masses quiescent.)

"We wanted this music to feel primordial, not technological," says
Robert Rich, "...to stimulate the body as means of joining the
physical, mental, and spiritual in a journey of almost psychedelic
intensity."

By turns earthy, danceable, sensuous, erotic, psychoactive, and
mystical, SoMA's heady brew of organic percussion instruments,
pulsing heartbeat rhythms, airy ethnic flutes, keening slide guitars, and
dense synthesized ambiences might well be labeled "Terratronic." With
SoMA, Steve Roach and Robert Rich have taken another powerful
step on the road to reinventing contemporary music as a shamanic
practice.
