Originally released in 1988, Dreamtime Return was inspired by the culture of Australia’s aboriginal community, as well as states of dreaming.

The album’s CD version featured 38-minutes of additional material not included on the cassette and vinyl variants.

Roach also revealed he is “working on a new-dreaming of a few select pieces from Dreamtime Return. These will be all-new creations drawing from the spirit of the original, 30 years later,” he writes.
