"Slow Heat" (1998) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach. It contains one 71-minute track composed for continuous playback.

The concept of the album is based on a phenomenon that occurs in the desert during the hottest part of the day. During that time, the natural ambient sound falls completely silent, then begins again and falls silent again in a slow, pulsating pattern.

The music consists of a natural insect ambience, recorded just outside Roach’s house, and slow, pulsating electronic chords. For inspiration, during the development of this recording, Roach monitored the mix on both indoor and outdoor speakers.
