Album Notes

____________________________________________________________________________ Enation: An Overview of Their Experience So Far Enation is fast becoming known as one of the best independent anthemic rock bands around, combining the expanse and creativity of U2 and Radiohead with the wit and soul lyrically of songwriters in the spirit of Dylan and Cash. Enation has grown in the six years since forming in 2002, taking the pure passion they have always possessed and combining it with the maturity to know that a whisper can also be as loud as a shout. Enation has headlined shows at the world famous Whisky A-Go-Go and The Troubadour (among many other renowned clubs), and has built an international fan base selling thousands of albums at home and abroad, most recently being prominently featured on the hit CW TV show "One Tree Hill" with the title track from their new album "World In Flight" being played on the show as well as the song and collaborative EP "Feel This" (performed by Bethany Joy Galeotti featuring Enation). "Feel This" had an immediate response: the single went to #8 on the I-Tunes Rock Charts, and the EP debuted #1 on the CD Baby Top Sellers list (one of the largest independent music outlets in the world.) The TV episode itself also hit the #1 spot on I-tunes -- all of this bringing a host of new fans and great reviews in for the band. Enation has had several other songs used in TV & Films, most notably the song "Ride" from "Stephen King's Riding The Bullet", which got the song featured on MTV.com. Enation's anthemic rock continues to inspire and captivate those who hear it, and if the beginning of their tale is any indication, we are still only on Chapter One. ____________________________________________________________________________ "Enation have more talent than England has rain. Have you got an umbrella?" - Jon the Bassist / Delirious? (Platinum Selling British rock band) ____________________________________________________________________________ ALBUM INFO: (Soul & Story: Volume One) It came upon us suddenly, and over a long period of time: In the quiet of the night, away from the loud (and awesome) rock and roll space Enation was visiting, our fearless frontman Jonathan has been writing more amazing, heartfelt songs. These songs are too good to lose, and they have never found spaces on our previous two albums, and finally, after one too many listens of them, we couldn't take it anymore. An instinct rose up and said, "It's time to make another album with these songs." The album is called "Soul & Story: Volume One" and it chronicles a different side of the band. These are not B-tracks, these are songs that fit into a different space than a rock and roll album. (We plan on exploring more of this musical space as the years go on, that's why to us, it's "Volume One", a beginning). We'll be cranking up the volume again in the near future, but for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy a different side to our music. Thanks for listening, Enation Visit: www.EnationMusic.com www.MySpace.com/EnationMusic www.bandfarm.com/enation

Really wonderful, very broad sounding. I could hear Dylan in the first song. In The Image is truly from God it makes me feel very connected with the planet and who I am as a spiritual being having a human experience and how were all in this together. It might sound lame (lol) but that's what I get from that song. I can see more and more people connecting to this music especially because when it comes down to it people right now need this type of energy and music is a Divinley perfect way to uplift and give people courage,joy and hope to see a positive future. So, Basically what im saying is Don't ever stop creating this magic between you and the world. Lots of Love guys, Alexandra.

Wonderful Acoustic-Rock CD!
author: RadioIndy.com
"Soul & Story: Volume One" from Enation contains masterfully written songs just begging the listener to feel the heartbeat of each note. Frontman Jonathan has an exceptional quality in his soft vocals. This CD will relax and entertain you, without a doubt. Beginning with a couple of pacifying acoustic numbers, which set the relaxed tone, "Homesick" includes a full instrumentation of soulful production, becoming full of emotion, as is the lyrical content. "A Letter To My Son" has to be the most touching song on this entire CD, whispering Fatherly advice like a lullaby. Beautiful piano accompaniment sets a brilliant stage for "I'm On Your Side", our ultimate favorite in it's intensity, joining the many wonderful songs here on this CD.
