It's out? Awesome.

I loved Unearthed.

But where did you find this out? I see no mention on their official site, or the web :/

Some of their songs are so badass the word badass was created just for them.

This album is awesome. I've listened to it a few times to let it sink in, and it's definitely a bit different from Unearthed but still great.

So I guess the way it works is a little different. All of the songs are new songs. The first disc contains songs featuring a singer called Luna Sans. It is sung in a fictional foreign language that envisions the language from the natives of the island Numa. On the second CD they've taken the tracks and replaced the vocals with instrumental solos and choir melodies, and this is where it really takes off. These tracks are the ones where the name is followed by "Pi" - sounding very similar to 'Unearthed', the songs here are awe inspiring, heart racing, and dream inducing. Quite incredible really, and anyone who is a fan of orchestrated music, or just good instrumental music owes it to themselves to check this out. A couple of my favorites so far are Mosane, Selisona Pi and Marunae Pi.

Anyways that's all *goes back to jamming* :D

Hey, folks. I'm trying to start an ES Posthumus forum (http://esposthumusfans.proboards60.com/index.cgi) being as I haven't been able to find one. I'd love to discuss the new album! Come join me and my new forum with an embarrassingly low topic and member count. :S

Please don't advertise here.

I also love'd unearthed. Thanks for the post. I didnt even know they had a new CD out. Have you checked out the Pi remixes for the CD? IMO i think they are just as good.

Hey,

I'm kind of an E.S. Posthumus fan myself, so I thought I might use this opportunity for some shameless self-promotion :yum:.

I create some of my own music which I would say is pretty similar to E.S. Posthumus. Most of my stuff is orchestral/cinematic in nature, but I also write some softer songs.
