Album Notes

After almost 4 years since their last album, IRIS finally returns in 2003 with their new record, "Awakening". The first full-length release from the band since 1999's "Disconnect", "Awakening" showcases the band's evolution into a modern electro-pop force.

Vocalist/songwriter Reagan Jones has created a work of passionate, intense songs that recall the heyday of synth-driven pop. New member Andrew Sega (The Alpha Conspiracy) takes over production duties for this record, and brings elements of IDM and electro to the pop mix, creating an evocative, modern sound. Instrumentally, the record covers diverse ground, ranging from pulsing beat-driven anthems to dreamlike, textured ballads. The disc also includes an electrifying version of the Seven Red Seven classic, "You're the Answer".

I love this band's sound. "Sorrow Expert", "In Spite" and "You're The Answer" are a few favorites. If you have not bought this CD - do it.

A must have for any synth-pop or EBM fan!

If you dan't have this album, you should. There aren't enough words to describe the journey you are taken on while listening to this record. You will undoubtedly have several of the tracks stuck in your head for days if not longer, and you will find it hard to remove from your player at first. The soundscapes built by the band are spot on, a classic buy for anyone who ever liked synth-pop music. This is a real throwback to the early 80's with songs that cascade over the air, intricately woven guitars and synths, vocals that dare other singers in the genre to compete with. I don't think I've ever liked a band so much after the first time I heard them, save Depeche Mode and a very short list of others. You should buy one for yourself and a few others for your friends! They will thank you for it. Don't wait to tell them about it and let them balk at the idea. If they've never heard Iris, they'll want nothing more than to own the entire discography after listening to this record.
