Album Notes

Cycles' is the brand new studio album from the Irish electro-pop band Empire State Human. Recorded at Electric Eye Studio & Maxtrax in Dublin, Ireland, 'Cycles' showcases a more mature song-writing style, whilst highlighting their Electro/Glam Rock & Pop influences. Included is ESH's version of The Cult's 'The witch', first featured on Kiss My Asterix Records 'Elektrokuted' compilation album in 2004.


The track 'This is how you disappear', which is about depression, is dedicated both to the legendary lead singer of The Associates Billy Mackenzie and the lead singer of Red Flag Mark Reynolds. 'Young lions' is heavily inspired by the life of the cult actor James Dean. 'Signals and noise' is based on a short story by Jill Ziegler, and was featured on A Different Drum's compilation/book 'Listen to the future' in 2004.


'Easy colour', 'Chase the ace' & 'Sonic prophet' all featured in ESH's part on multi-band 4x4 CD series release (Kiss My Asterix/Section 44 labels).


'Cycles' is very much a welcome addition to the ever-growing ESH catalogue.

Beatles "White Album" of Synthpop.
author: Robert
This is an Album of the finest crafted pop around, coated in a soundscape of the 80's and early 90"s Brit-Dance scene. Would be the simplest way of describing the album.. Re-definition of the genre of synthpop would a closer one, by a group that has given IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) / Intelligent Pop a Re-definition in song-craft and production from day one. Or go to Synthpop Net and read their reveiw, then come back and buy the album!
