Conceptually the focus of this collaboration between Steve Roach and Roger King
is a historic Western theme. To that effort, the duo incorporates
many classic elements derived from the period of the American settling of the
Wild West. Tracks like 'Rattler' and 'Ghost Train' are obvious
references to the poisonous bane on the cowboy who forgot to check his boot, or
the stable travel route across the rugged plain country. Other tracks such as
'Gone West' or 'First Sunrise' evoke moods based similar
experiences by some of the early American pioneers. "Dust to Dust" sure brings
back memories of my childhood, although in a radically different manner that
you might expect. I never spent much time playing Cowboys and Indians,
but spent a great deal of time iconizing some of my own self-made
heroes in role play gamings. "Dust to Dust" still holds a common theme
with the heroic concepts that I attempted to uphold while I ran screaming
through the forest of Michigan brandishing a freshly carved spear to
fight
off mythical villains.
