Soma (sometimes spelled SoMa<!--Allmusic.com & Amazon.com, but not SteveRoach.com-->) was the second collaborative album by the U.S. ambient musicians Steve Roach and Robert Rich, following their 1990 album Strata.

Overview

The liner notes explain that the word soma can be found in the ancient Vedic texts describing a drink made from plants to help commune with the gods (a botanical hallucinogen), and that the same word meant "body" in Ancient Greek.

The music on the album is electronic and ambient music with psychedelic overtones.
