<title>E. S. Posthumus releases &quot;Cartographer&quot;, first album in 7 years</title>
<description>I am on E. S. Posthumus&amp;#39;s email list, and they sent me this a couple weeks ago.&amp;nbsp; I immediately went on iTunes and purchased the 2-CD set.&amp;nbsp; Amazing stuff, it doesn&amp;#39;t disappoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**For those that don&amp;#39;t know, E. S. Posthumus are two brothers that compose orchestral/choral music.&amp;nbsp; Their song &lt;i&gt;Pompeii&lt;/i&gt; was used for the Furious Angels&amp;#39; video &amp;quot;Angels of Vengence&amp;quot;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear E.S. Posthumus Fan:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First of all,&amp;nbsp; we would like to thank you for your loyalty and patience.&amp;nbsp; We realize it has been seven years since the release of our first CD &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Unearthed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Many of you have stayed in touch and encouraged us to compose and record a second CD.&amp;nbsp; Quite honestly, it has been your voice that has both haunted and inspired us to not only take on the task but to actually complete the project.&amp;nbsp; And so, after a long journey, we humbly submit to you our second CD &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Cartographer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We started writing the music for &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Cartographer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; five years ago, inspired by our fascination with archeology.&amp;nbsp; We read about a map called “Piri Reis,” a compilation of ancient maps, and we found a map of the &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Arctic Circle&lt;/span&gt;, detailing bays and islands covered under ice for 6000 years.&amp;nbsp; But according to historians, there wasn’t a civilization that was capable of mapping or traveling that far back in time.&amp;nbsp; So a concept flashed in our minds; the fictionalized existence of a civilization from &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;the island&lt;/span&gt; &amp;quot;Numa&amp;quot; 6000 years ago.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Cartographer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a 2 CD set.&amp;nbsp; We created a secret language (a Latin derivative) and wrote lyrics for each song on CD 1.&amp;nbsp; The songs are sung by Luna Sans whom we discovered some time ago and swore that one day we would collaborate with.&amp;nbsp; While lyrics on every song is somewhat of a departure from &amp;quot;Unearthed&amp;quot;, we feel that this sound is tied to our creative evolution and we hope you can embrace it.&amp;nbsp; CD 2 is a re-treatment&amp;nbsp; of the songs from CD 1 and&amp;nbsp; includes the world beats, chorus and orchestra that characterize the E.S. Posthumus sound.&amp;nbsp; Included on CD 2 are 2 bonus tracks.&amp;nbsp; We consider each CD to be a entity unto itself.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The creation of &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Cartographer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has been a great and cathartic experience.&amp;nbsp; Buried within the story of the Numadians are very personal stories of tragedy and triumph in our own lives (which could also explain the seven year gap between albums).&amp;nbsp; But E.S. Posthumus’ music seeks to touch the personal in all of its listeners, to strike a chord of timeless possibility for how music can affect people.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We encourage you to visit our updated website &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://esposthumus.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;esposthumus.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and take a listen.&amp;nbsp; The CD is available at &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;CDBaby.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=272107656&amp;amp;s=143441&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;iTunes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and others. We are hoping to reach a wider audience with this release and appreciate any assistance in &amp;quot;spreading the word&amp;quot; to friends, family, colleagues, etc.&amp;nbsp; Also, a review on &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://amazon.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; would be very helpful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One final note...&amp;nbsp; we have recently posted (2) unreleased singles on &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=39436926&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;iTunes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; They are &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=272107941&amp;amp;id=272107929&amp;amp;s=143441&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Unstoppable&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=272107877&amp;amp;id=272107854&amp;amp;s=143441&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Posthumus Zone&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; both of which were composed for the NFL On CBS. If you like our more aggressive material, you will love these songs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Be well and stay in touch.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;E.S. Posthumus&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
