pre-order success/back in the studio/10th Anniversary

Dear Friends,

We’ve had an incredible reaction to the new ESH album “Audio Gothic” .. it’s had our best pre-order ever and it’s 2nd on Ninthwave Records best ever pre-order list! Even beating Heaven 17! We’ve chuffed.
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Gothic-Empire-State-Wolfgang/dp/B001VGN8AQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1237844859&sr=1-4
There will be two reviews/features coming in shortly, one for Electronic Rumours and the other for Analogue Trash, both in the UK. Side Line will also be interviewing, reviewing and featuring a banner advert too on it.
We will be pushing the hell of our this new (and best) ESH album in the coming months!! It deserves to big a very, very successful CD in our opinion, but we know that involves having a lot of luck. But you never know what can happen if lady luck is on your side …
It’s pre-order success has also inspired us to jump straight back in to our Electric Eye studio to begin the writing/recording of its follow up!!
We don’t want to say much, other than we’ve already a number of great new songs written and currently in production.
It took us 4 years between “Cycles” and “Audio Gothic”, but we don’t intend taking the same time out to complete a follow up. People do forget you, and when you’ve still got drive and ambition (and talent we hope!) that’s a big shame.
On July 15th, ESH celebrate 10 years in existance. We’d love to mark this landmark date in some way. We’ll have to discuss how with friends, fans and Ninthwave Records .. maybe a give away or something or indeed something more special .. we’ll see.
Maybe Ninthwave can send out a request to its fan-base and see what people want from us? Over to you Dave on that one …

Lyrics to "Melancholic Afro"

Dear friends,

We've been asked for the lyrics to our track with Wolfgang ... So here they are!

Aidan, Seán & Lar
ESH


“MELANCHOLIC AFRO”

SHE CONFIDES SHE’S GOT STYLE THAT’S HETRO
IN MY MIND SPENDING TIME WITH GO SLOW
ALL THIS CURSE, IN A HEARSE OF HOMO
I KNOW WHAT’S CHIC, ART-DECO CHEEK TO CHEEK

MELANCHOLIC WITH A TOUCH OF AFRO
AND I FEEL SHE’S GOING TO LOVE MY TECHNO

IT’S A SMILE THAT’S REPTILE AND NO GO
SPLITTING HAIRS, SEE HER AIRS ARE ON SHOW
WHEN SHE’S ON, TREATING MEN LIKE LOW LOW
ON HER IT SEEMS, THAT VIPER STALKS AND SCREAMS

MELANCHOLIC WITH A TOUCH OF AFRO
AND I FEEL SHE’S GOING TO LOVE MY TECHNO

MY DESIRE (DESIRE)
MY DESIRE (DESIRE)
MY DESIRE (DESIRE)
MY DESIRE (DESIRE)
DESIRE COMES FIRST

LOVE MY TECHNO, WITH A TOUCH OF AFRO

DESIRE (DESIRE), DESIRE COMES FIRST
DESIRE (DESIRE), DESIRE COMES FIRST
DESIRE (DESIRE), DESIRE COMES FIRST
DESIRE (DESIRE), DESIRE COMES FIRST

Kraftwerk fans ... proceed with extreme EXCITEMENT!

Dear Friends,

The synthpop scene requires a much needed shot in the arm .... and Empire State Human are happy to supply the shot!!
So proceed with extreme EXCITEMENT ... because starting next week and exclusively hosted by Laptop Rockers you can take part in remixing one of our new tracks "Melancholic Afro feat. Wolfgang Flür" (ex-Kraftwerk/Yamo).We're still dizzy that his synth legend actually graces one of our songs, so we hope you will be excited too.
In advance of the remix kit going live next week we've completed a special interview to help promote the remix competition.
