  • The best ever!!!
    author: Oscar

    Really, I don't get tired of hearing the music of E. S. Posthumus... It have the perfect combination of classical and beat sounds, making it one of those discs that HAVE to go with you every time (in your car, iPod, computer, or wherever you go)... Hundred of thousands of stars for this disc!!! :D

  • Album rates 10 stars
    author: SQAN

    Provocative, dramatic, exotic, explosive, enigmatic, exhilirating music! Tikal is the 21st century sequel to Khachaturian's Sabre Dance. Elba's alternate title would be Hallelujah. When ESP decides to stage a concert, I'll fly to the destination in a heart beat. CB Baby needs to add a new STAR category for 10 stars, *********, to denote perfection.

    Listening to this music is the equivalent of an out-of-body experience. It commandeers your imagination, fills your mind with vivid imagery, and takes you to places you never dreamed of.

    absolutely wonderful. I am writing a book right now and this has become part of my playlist. I especially love Nara and Nineveh. Just beautiful.

  • Just Amazing!
    author: Zito Bandito

    It's been a log time ago I've heard such fantastic music like this. E.S. Posthumus creates perfectly matching mix of electronics, fabulous contemporary and ancient instruments with beauty of human voices in chorus. No matter how do you feel today - you will always find something good for your mood, slow, smooth as energetic, agressive tracks. Just listen and forget about your world. 5 Stars!

    dynamic escape.

  • Totally Incredible
    author: steve rawlinson

    As with other people hearing 'Nara' the theme to cold case, researching and finding this cd was how i came accross the wonderful music of ES Posthumous. All i can say is that for anyone thinking about buying 'Unearthed'.... Do it...and Do it NOW.The music is like nothing you have heard before. Imagine a combination of Enya,Mike Oldfield, Vangellis and topped off with composer David Foster(Celine Dion/Andrea Bocceli)and it will give you some idea. As you listen to these beautiful tracks it takes you to Egypt,Peru,Ireland and reminds you of soundtracks to films like The Mission and Gladiator. If i was a film producer i would look no further than these two fabulous brothers.

  • Very Good
    author: Ludo

    It was a good discovery. I'm fond of this album.

  • Khy!
    author: Juha

    To the moments thinking in dark and candle light. A bit too war-like, maybe.

  • Sucks U In
    author: Jo Ce

    E.S.P. - Outgrows such mesmerizing class of Enigma group as to replace one's dour stored memory rhythm transfiguring into realms of musical thought awakening. Antissa music sampler is worth sensational **** stars!

  • Luv it!
    author: Linda Loh

    I love this Album.. I listen to it everyday.. I love minor keys music and how the choir vocals and orchestra comes together to present a dramatic and uplifting sounds....Can't wait for more Albums to be release by you guys..thanks..

  • Brilliant, emotional, timeless
    author: Mister Scissors

    I've had this album since 2004, and am remiss that I have not sumbitted a review until now. I cannot add to what has been said. I've listened to this when I've been in despair and joy. It has countoured my tastes, influenced my own music, and found its place as my favorite album. The last track is so moving, I often listen to it twice, especially starting at 2:41, which is just breathtaking.

  • Excellent
    author: R.C.

    It is excellent and well performed. It became vital that I own the album.

  • Unearthed
    author: jim clough

    What a fantastic album - very mesmeric - buy it!

    great !

  • Artist
    author: Juliett

    Excellent - makes chills run up my spine.

  • Well performed
    author: Ingemar Johansson

    Still, even though it was very well done, I cannot give a 5 star rating as I found it sometimes too perfect and lacking life. Anyway, well done and I will probably listen to it quite a few times

  • author: irene

    Awesome you know,it's good to listen to a nice band that is not demented or messed up in the mind for a change. :~D great music

  • Very Good!
    author: Hans Lemmens

    The first song I ever heard of E.S. Posthumus was Nara... I HAD to have this album. My favourite along with Nara is Lepcis Magna. Keep it up you brothers!

  • Unearthed
    author: Adrian

    So good I ordered the other E S Posthumus CD straight away.

  • Unbelievable!
    author: Andrew Wiebe

    Epic. Gut-wrenchingly powerful songs that touch you from the head to the heart to the nether regions. Outstanding acheivement.

  • Amazing!
    author: Elizabeth Schlaupitz

    All the songs on this album are good, but I particularly like Nineveh, Menouthis, and Pompeii. These songs are not just notes on a page, they are foot-tapping, exciting works that tell a great, musical story. The rest of the tracks are also wonderful. Each song has its own unique feel/melody that makes this album a delight to listen to.

  • A soundtrack of life
    author: Marielle Ali

    Wow! This band is amazing! Their music is like the soundtrack of my life. I love it! It's so different. I first got into this band after hearing "Nara" from Cold Case. Music can convey feelings without words and E.S. Posthumus further emphasizes that point!!

  • Spiritual...
    author: Cymbeline

    ...mind-bending, intense, blood-pounding,and ultimately very satisfying...like terrific sex...I need a cigarette. Then I think I'll listen to Unearthed again. *smile*

  • Beautiful
    author: Tamara Flum

    While surfing on cdbaby I listend to Track 1 and was surprised how it touched me, how this gave me the creeps...than I ordered the cd. I was not interested in the other songs, I only want "Antissa", "Antissa" in the morning while awaking, "Antissa" in the evening to chill out, "Antissa" while driving my car. Now I driven a lot and listend the whole album. What a surprise. This contrasts. Track 4 "Ulaid" for example. It begins in Ireland, fly to Indian (Bollywood) and it ends at a piano where ever on the world. I like this album and I am exciting listen to more of them...

  • Unearthed
    author: Natalie Pace

    Number 6 is my favorite song on the entire cd. Actually it is why I bought the cd. But everything else is also good. I have recommended this cd to my friends. Its great for me, because I am a writer. I listen to this music while I am writing and it helps me get into "character."

  • Enchanting!
    author: Paula S.

    A friend gave me the head's up on this album, I came straight to CD Baby and listened to all the Unearthed songs. I fell in love with it instantly. Nara was also used to accompany the previews of the film "The Other Boleyn Girl" I haven't seen the film but I hope Nara is used for the soundtrack, it will make it all the better for watching. For anyone who has enjoyed Mike Oldfield give this a try, you won't be sorry. Fabulous.

  • ZOMG!!
    author: Christina

    Absolutely wonderful! Deep, pulsing harmonies and sweeping rock orchestral themes! Excellent for anyone who enjoys cinema scores or rock orchestra!

  • super!great!

    A beautiful album. A classic!

  • Spirit-Moving!
    author: Daya'

    Looked everywhere for this outstanding piece of art! These brothers are genius! Bought Both. Love them!

  • author: James Tapscott

    Like others I was looking for the theme from Cold Case & I found it and so much more. I also bought Cartographer. My wife & I are enjoying both albums and are looking forward to more.

  • Unique and awe-inspiring
    author: Paula Irving

    Like a lot of people I came across this album via Nara on Cold Case (it's still my favourite track). It is the most unbelievable awe-inspiring music I have ever heard and I never tire of listening to the whole album. It will get your heart racing with tracks like Menouthis and Pompei which are both monumental pieces of music with the most amazing orchestration.Chill out to the beautifully crafted Estemos and Nara, which leave you uplifted. Everyone should own this album, it is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you wonder why you didn't buy it sooner.

  • ES POSTHUMUS*Amazing
    author: Leslie Aussem

    I do believe that the more i listen to this, the more i appreciate the music. I came upon this because of the piece Nara, from Cold Case on T.V. Wow...if anything else comes from this, you must buy it!..Everything is Amazing...Thank you!

  • Fantastic
    author: Esah Bishop-Scott

    This is an amazing CD. I love the contrasting styles and the choir. Definately worth the money.

  • Amazing
    author: Michael Luciuk

    Amazing cinematic style. Awed by the composition.

  • Brilliant!
    author: Joel Sing

    After listening to the remarkable starting them for "Cold Case", I decided that I had to find out what the music was. This lead me to discover Nara, along with the rest of this CD. The music is pure genius and simply brilliant. There is much diversity in the musical arrangements and different styles are blended in such a craftful manner. The orchestral parts are an extreme pleasure to listen to, whilst the heavier tracks have wonderful driving beats. It's in a class of its own and well worth every cent.

  • Incredibly Genius!
    author: Maestro Alexander

    So new and original, and yet so familiar and acceptable to nearly every ear. While comparable to other well known names, such as Era, Enigma, and Paul Schwartz, it is at the same time entirely different and in a class of its own. The excellent work consists of live classical instruments and choirs, with a perfect sprinkle of ethnic instruments. Percussion is incredible, with lots of exotic drums and ethnic rhythmic instruments being used to create the most powerful percussive arrangements that will convince any metalhead that classical is neither weak nor boring. Electronic sounds and effects are used cleverly and conservatively, only to spice up and underline the gorgeous melodies and harmonies. This sparing use of electronic sound will allow this album to be a timeless wonder, instead of a quick "hip-hit" today, and kitch tomorrow, as is the case with many of the aforementioned works. Overall this album spans the globe in its masterful use of musical enthnicity as a charming accent to the universal language of classical ensemble. There is an ocean of emotion in this album, and it will take a listener many times through to try and grasp them all. You will not be disappointed, I'm sure!

  • Hauntingly Beautiful!
    author: Robin Bronsky

    Can't get enough of this CD! It's so beautifully arranged and the music just gives me chills.

  • Heaven
    author: Sjur Husand

    Just buy it, and feel your shoulders sink.... pure magic... like an adventure.

  • Incredible!
    author: Carline

    Incredible!! Pop the CD in, put the windows down and go for a drive. It will move you. And in stressful times, it helps a great deal. It is unique style of music-the beats and instruments-you can isolate them and appreciate them separately at times and collectively.

  • Unearthed CD
    author: Laytoya Ford

    I simply love it, the music is masterfully done! And I recieved my CD on time and unharmed. I know I may sound like an infomercial... but Thanks CD Baby!!!

  • Exceptional!
    author: daniel husand

    Words will never do this album justice, buy it, you won't be disappointed.

  • Awsome
    author: Brian Barker

    Heard theme music on CBS sports: PGA, Glories last shot and also NFL on CBS(Rise to Glory)I did the research and found Unearthed. I have wore the CD out. Glad to see second album come out. Please keep up the good sounds.

  • An amazing piece of work
    author: Nathan

    ... you just have to hear it for yourself!

  • Unbelieveable!
    author: Cynthia

    I have very eclectic taste in music. Suffice it to say that this is, HANDS DOWN, my favorite CD. I've practically worn it out, and still, it never fails to inspire. Helmut and Franz, get busy on that second CD -- your devoted fans can't wait!

  • BRAVO!!
    author: Arumon

    An extraordinary release. A classic, timeless voyage through lost cities, conquering up images of ancient civilisations. Soothing and calm, or riveting with excitement, this cd is one worthy purchase, the tracks are nothing short of astounding. It sounds like a score for a movie that has yet to be filmed. I will pay close attention to your future release ‘Cartographer’! Congrats on this amazing album. Simply 5 stars! And thank you CDBaby for the excellent service!

  • A bloody brilliant album
    author: Anthony Yeung

    It is simply a wonderful album, Nara is my favourite piece.

  • E. S. Posthumus - Unearth
    author: Nadine Jochens

    I'm a 21 years old girl from German and I don't know, how to say, I easy love your CD! Some will say, young people wouldn't hear such music, but I have to say, that a lot of my friends (hearing this CD by me) surprised asked for the artists and where they can buy your CD. Thank you, for this great CD! It's one of my precious CDs! I happy see for your next one!

  • Magnifique
    author: PIERRE MAUNOIR

    J'ai aussi découvert ES Posthumus grâce à Cold Case. J'ai de suite commandé le cd pour Noël après avoir écouté des morceaux de l'album. Unearthed est tout simplement une tuerie. Sans véritable style musical identifié, les différents morceaux vous transportent dans un univers mystique. Et ce n'est que du bonheur !

  • Unearthed
    author: Emilie Duphil

    Album sublime, suivi de la commande sérieux, expédition soignée et réception en 15 jours pr la France en tarif normal. Rien à redire!

  • Epic!
    author: Christopher Quance

    I can honestly say that no CD has ever inspired me to write a story. This one has done the trick, however. The artists have produced a truly epic sound that deserves more attention than it's gotten.

  • Ineffable
    author: EASE

    Nothing we humans can attempt will ever be perfect but as far as I'm concerned E.S. Posthumus have put together something transcendent. Every once in a while I come across something which I can't find a word for and this is it; I suppose I should warn potential listeners that they might feel light-headed. It is a privilege to listen to music like this.

  • Excellent
    author: Mathieu

    Difficile de donner un genre à cet album. Classique, rock opéra, chants religieux avec des influences de musique celte, inca voire andalouse.Sans oublier les choeurs de Seattle. Un cd qui vous laisse reveur, emprunt de joie, poésie, beauté et brin de mélancolie. La magie de la musique ! Donc vous m'avez compris, un opus a avoir dans sa collection. Merci E S Posthumus et Cd Baby

  • Absolutely Stunning!
    author: Krejt

    Niesamowity album. Możesz całe życie szukać - bez skutku - idealnego kawałka muzyki i zapłaczesz ze szczęścia gdy w końcu natkniesz się na "Unearthed". Podobnie jak wielu innych recenzentów tutaj zaintrygował mnie utwór z czołówki "Cold Case". Po nitce do kłębka... nareszcie dotarłem do tej niesamowitej płyty. Shortly: can't wait to hear some new material from E.S. Posthumus. :)

    album sublime je viens de le recevoir après 1 semaine d'attente, mais que c'est bon!!!!du plaisir à l'état pur!!.... merci aux producteur de la série cold case d'avoir choisi cette musique pour la série car en france je ne connaissais pas ce groupe.

  • wonderful
    author: Michele

    When I first heard "Nara" I immediately loved it. I didn't know which song was and who played it. I heard it again while seeing main title of "Cold Case". I made some research and find out the authors and the title. I listened some samples on internet and I found them incredible. I bought the cd a week later. And when I listen to it I feel deep emotion and passion.

  • unusual
    author: Jennifer Tissot

    This album is good for days you don't know what to listen to, and very good for when you're engaged in a creative process as writing. I'm sad to say I thought there was too much emphasis on the classical openings and it didn't always mix well with the electronica sound. It's good if you're in the mood for something experimental and out of the ordinary, though.

  • Ensorcelant !!!
    author: Michael COHEN

    Après quelques secondes de "nara" on se retrouve comme hypnotisé. Il ne s'agit pas ici de musique ordinaire, mais d'émotions à l'état brut, qui envahissent instantanément votre coeur. le coté sombre et mystique de certains morceaux plongent l'auditeur dans un autre monde. Cette petite merveille inclassable transcende les genres et laisse éclater un génie incontestable !

  • author: DUPAS Anne-Cécile

    je n'écoute plus que ça. Je l'écoute et je m'évade. Plein d'émotions m'envahissent, c'est super

  • Unearthed
    author: Chris

    This is an incredible CD and am not surprised that the television and movie industry would embrace this album. The pure emotion it evokes upon listening is perfect for the visual arts. I hope to see much more from them and will continue to turn more of my friends and family on to their music. Well done!

  • Incredible
    author: michelle martin

    I purchased this after hearing it on YouTube. How beautiful. I haven't taken it out of the CD changer since it arrived. And by the way,CD Baby is wonderful! The first "Unearthed" CD that arrived had a scratch and didn't play the last song. I notified CD Baby and within 4 days had a perfect CD, no questions asked. You guys will get my business from now on!

    author: Andrea Sandoval

    I figured I was taking a risk, since I didn't take the time to listen to all the songs. To my amazement, this CD is way better than expected. I'm going look to see if there are any other albums they have released.

  • Que du bonheur !
    author: Casanovas Sabine

    Je cherchais ce CD depuis longtemps car il est quasiment introuvable en France. Le groupe est inconnu ici mais le titre "Nara" qui est le générique de "Cold Case" est très apprécié. On ne se lasse pas d'écouter ces morceaux à n'importe quel moment ! il fait patie de ceux qu'il faut avoir dans sa cdthèque idéale !

  • Simply moving to high degree's
    author: Andre Martinez

    The music on this album is a must have for any Digital Editor or Day Dreamer. This album will put you in awe with its bliss as you submerge within an imagination you didn't know you had. Get this album, its a must have.

  • BEAUTIFULLY TIMELESS MASTERPIECE
    author: Mr Stevi B and the InterGalactic Light Machine

    And I am only familiar with Antissa and Nara. As a musician/composer/engineer I find this music tremenously inspirational and a catalyst in the realm of creativity. All I can say is I know excellence when I hear it. I will buy this album.

    I've loved the music since I first heard it. Now I'm ever so happy to have the actual CD!!! I never stop listening to it in my car or computer! haha! I'm an addict!

  • Grandiose...
    author: Towak

    J'adore ce CD que j'ai découvert grâce au titre "Pompeii" sur une vidéo de Youtube. Les musiques sont épiques sont être trop brutales, on se laisse entrainer et tapper le rythme sur des morceaux énergiques pdt que d'autres plus mélodieux engourdissent votre esprit d'une puissante tranquilité! Du bonheur en barre. Vivement conseillé ^^ Merci A CD Baby pour vendre ces CD qu'ont ne trouve nul part ailleurs!

  • Truly Innovative
    author: Monsieur Joseph

    The writing and production on this CD has introduced a new and exciting musical genre to the world. I hope they continue with more albums. Perhaps the band Globus was inspired by "Unearthed", and maybe ES Posthumous will be inspired by Globus' "Epicon" (a great album) to continue on this Choral Music path!

  • Fantastic.
    author: Altoida

    This CD is amazing, I really hope the artists continue their work, I'd love to have more, more, MORE!

  • AWESOME!
    author: Mathew

    Words can not grasp just how awesome this music is! I totally plan on getting their next CD!

  • Well worth the purchase

    Heard the music from a friend and I loved it so muhc I had to buy it for myself. ^^

  • An enjoyable gift both for the giver and the recipient!
    author: Carlo

    I purchased this CD as a gift for my wife, having heard the music on the artists' website. We have both enjoyed listening to this eclectic mix of various genres. The music is at once contemplative, stirring, dreamy, action-packed, introspective and space-filling. I highly recommend it!

  • One of my favorite albums
    author: Michael Hayes Music

    One might call me a musicholic! As a musician myself, I find instrumental music to be the ultimate creative expression. I’m always searching for the ultimate unique musical experience and ES Posthumus delivers on the highest level.

  • Fantastic Album
    author: Rosemary Charles

    Like most of the reviews written, I loved the track used in the TV series Cold Case. Discovering it was called 'Nara' the pursuit was on to fine and purchase this track. Discovering this CD is a delight - virtually very track is good, and I played it constantly since receiving it. Please give us more..

    author: Rich Guinther

    This is an amazing CD! Every song is a masterpiece...hopefully another cd is in the works

  • Crossing the divine
    author: miter.dante

    Very good CD ! An inventive and powerful music. Maybe sometime with too much electronic stuff, but it's the concept that leads the album : to unite opposite of classical and even religious structure with modern arrangement. It is not complicated to hear that this is an intelligent work of art, even for an "amateur". Every detail seems to have been the result of a great reflexion. Every title corresponds to an ancient and lost city. Every song brings powerful emotions ! A must have ! PS : Please, excuse my mystakes, i'm just a french lover ;)

  • The classic and modern collide with taste.
    author: Sean Milliff

    This disc brilliantly and successfully fuses a modern electronic and rock methods within a classic music framework. It's far more than having a classically composed piece with some contemporary trimming added, or vice versa. "Unearthed" is a true fusion that achieves a total sound and sensibility. "Unearthed" is worth the listen for it's variety and it's presentation..

  • Hauntingly memorable
    author: Craig Brown

    Having purchased the Epicon album by Globus last year I was encouraged to try similar albums by other artists who were new to me. As someone who had been saying for some time that the Cold Case theme tune should be turned into a full length track (how stupid do I feel now!) I was delighted to find that it was available on the E.S. Posthumus album. On receiving the album I wasn't disappointed. The melodies and arrangements stay with you long after the album has finished, and the mix of styles is enough to provide a song for every mood, whether you need to be uplifted, calmed or simply have a good rousing tune to which you can work. If a second album is released I'll be among the first to buy it. Until then I'll simply recommend this album to all my friends. Buy it, you won't be disppointed.

    Unbelievable! I love this music. They further inspired my film scoring, composition, recording, and arranging. Thank you.

  • A triumphant merge of classical and modern music.

    Unearthed is one of the best albums I've purchased all year. It merges the powerful emotional elements of classical music with the more rythmic easy listening of modern pop/rock. It is a wonderful album for the imaginative mind, a motion picture soundtrack the listener can dream the movie for. From tense, explosive songs like Tikal and Pompei to delicate, soothing songs like Cuzco and Nara this album provides a buffet of sound to accompany any mood.

  • brilliant.

    The music is great I listen to it everyday

  • Awesome CD. Definitely recommend.
    author: April

    This is a really wonderful cd & can fit into many musical collections. I love this album & I listen to lots of "alternative" "Trance" and other types of music. My mother loves it too... and she listens to classical & "oldies". Try it, you won't be disappointed.

  • Lived up to my expectations - beautiful rhythms and melodies.
    author: Louise Basher

    This CD lived up to my expectations. I teach contemporary dance to high school students and am always in search of uncommercial and interesting music. The kids love it and I have created a beautiful dance work. Well worth a listen if you like strong stirring rhythms and beautiful melodies.

  • This is a awesome cd!!!
    author: Keith

    This should be in everyone's cd collection. I first heard Nara on the TV show Cold Case and I knew that I had to have this cd. Every track is awesome!!! Thanks CDBaby!!!

    author: Neely

    This CD is so wonderful no mere vocabulary words can do it justice. This music really evokes emotion. I love the mixing of opposites musically. Sexy, fabulous, lovely, exciting, entrancing, beautiful. I love ES Posthumus. This is a must for any music lover's collection. I even proposed this album to my teacher for our Nia classes.

  • Music to Fall in Love to
    author: Voltaire

    You can dream to this music to fall in love to. Ahhhhhhhhh. Nice. You could listen to Unearthed 100 times and still see something new in your mind.

  • Fantastic CD in every way!
    author: Azure

    This CD is amazing! Nara is awe-inspiring, Pompeii is ominous and with the exception of 2 tracts, an overall enchanting CD. A must for your library especially if you like the original music of movie soundtracks.

  • What a CD.....
    author: LyxxDrummerBoy

    This CD is fantastic, a must buy. The music is a fantastic mix of religous music,drums etc. i was so happy when it arrived at my dooor this morning. buy this CD..you will not be dissapointed. Ebla especiially is very good. a round of applause for E.S Posthumus. any more stuff that comes i will get it.

  • UNEARTHING MORE!!!!
    author: WANNA B ROCKSTAR

    Personally I'm not into this genre, however I heard some clips and had to find the source. Upon my discovery I have found a piece of music that has unearthed all my feelings at the same time in one song! I've been listening to it over and over! Great C.D.! A MUST BUY!

  • What's all the fuss about
    author: Ray

    Your expectations are high when you read accolade after accolade. Being naturally suspicious, I went onto the official website where you can sample all the tracks (it's rare for CD Baby not to have all the samples on their own site). Any way - it's all true - not heard anything quite this good since Cafe del Mar's Aria series. More of the same please. Harappa's my favourite track.

  • FABULOUS music!
    author: Ruthanne

    I'm a writer, and I like to have music playing in the background as I create. This CD is absolutely fabulous for inspiration!

    I've been looking for the song nara for years since I heard it on a preview for a moview...the CD is awesome..

  • very moving
    author: william

    i listen to a lot of adiemus so hearing this reminded me of the instrumental and percussion work (though i like Unearthed better). i first heard the song Nara on the site (didn't know it was from Cold Case!) and after listening to two more songs i ordered the cd. continue making good music, please!!

  • We are SO happy! :o )
    author: E & C

    The music awakens the possibilities in your mind - the obscure is revealed, you remember, and you fly!

  • Not Fresh, But Good Composition
    author: keiph

    E.S. Posthumus. Their sound is very similar to Vangelis,Enigma, and Adiemus. But contained songs is very dynamic, and melodical. It give pleasure to me.

  • Love it, Love it!
    author: Barbara

    It took me awhile to find this CD & CD Baby had it, yeh! The whole thing is great but I was especially after the the theme song Nara from the TV show Cold Case. Boy, it's fabulous with surround sound, you don't want it to end!

    This CD was everything that I thought it was "Awesome"!! Love it!!

  • Could Everyone be Wrong???

    Absolutely not! I heard this band on Pandora and began searching out this recording. Phenomenal recording - if you like anything you have heard to date - better get it...

  • Worth the wait!!!!!
    author: Yvonne Kiser

    Ever since I heard "Rise to Glory" (CBS NFL theme) I have searched for this CD. Thanks to CDBaby it's mine and more than I hoped for. It is awesome! I hope the guys make more CD's soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • stunning
    author: Kate D

    I heard "Pompeii" on Pandora, and instantly was hooked. The CD is great - epic, sweeping music that pulls emotions out of you. Absolutely fantastic - I recommend this CD to everyone I know who might enjoy something with a hint of rock and a touch of classical.

  • Inspirational, Invigorating, and absolutely wonderful
    author: Michelle

    I searched for this CD due to the Cold Case theme song; I was surprised and gratified that every single other song on the CD was just as good and just as heart stopping.

  • Beautiful

  • Music That Creates Moods
    author: Emily

    This is an album that can be played no matter what mood you find yourself in - there is a track that can be played to any emotion. The music, in general, is filled with drama that suits trailer theme music. Due to the atmosphere that the songs create, they are excellent stand-alones that add to any visual input they are coupled with. Already, several of the songs have been sampled for promotional purposes and should continue to haunt listeners well past the trailers end.

  • I love every song on this cd.
    author: kathy

    Originally ordered for "Nara", but I absolutely love every song on it. These guys are great.

  • Excellent First CD!
    author: Jim

    This is an excellent first album for this group. The only thing keeping me from giving this album a 5 are that some of the tracks tend to get repetitive. Despite that, I liked all the tracks on this CD. It has been a long time.

  • A Very Well Done Mixture of Genres
    author: WebMaestro

    Unearthed by ES Posthumus is quite an innovative project. Filled with wonderful blends of choral, orchestral, contemporary, and electronica, Unearthed delivers a spectacular listening experience. Rarely do I find a CD on which I enjoy all the tracks - this one is one of those exceptions. My favorite tracks are Pompeii, Ebla, Isfarhan, and Nara but I find myself letting the CD run on loop for a couple hours at a stretch. I'm looking forward to ES Posthumus' next project. -WM

    Wow how quick did this come. I've oredered stuff from the states before and it's taken 6-8 weeks this took less than 10 days.it sped across the atlantic to Wales.

  • I love it
    author: Laura Goodwin

    This music is moody, evocative, and soothing. I really love it. Unfortunately a few other people that I played it for were underwhelmed - one said she thought it was depressing. Some people have NO TASTE!

  • wonderful!!!
    author: susannah donaldson & loretta cudequest

    i love the energy of the drums, especially in nara's theme. hearing the theme music from cold case every week made we want to find the cd.

  • Amazing piece of work
    author: Terry Morley

    My wife watches Cold Case every week and every week says this music is beautiful. So with the aid of the internet, I tracked it down, and ordered it for her as a surprise [CD Baby - superb service may I say]. The purchase was simply so she could add Nara to her Ipod selections.I was at home when the CD arrived, she was at work. So I put it on and had listen whilst I was working -didn't want to give it to her when she came home ! The CD is incredible. Each track seems to bring out a different emotion - emotive, haunting,sad,stirring, the whole range is there. I could quite easily imagine every track being used in a film/TV scene. Absolutely beautiful album, we listen to it at home whilst working or in the car whilst driving. Superb.

  • Amazing, unearthly beauty, stirring all sorts of emotions, I love it!
    author: Gill Bates

    I was browsing the CD collection on this site to find something interesting and stumbled upon this. I usually listen to all sorts of music but when I entered their site, I turned off everything and had their album play over and over (which is a first). Although some of the tracks are different in tempo and sound, all songs convey a sense of "etherealness". A brilliant fusion of classic music with modern electronics. I couldn't take the CD out of my car stereo for weeks. Nara (track 6), which I later found out is the theme song of a series called Cold Case is my favourite but all other songs are breath taking. So, if you love music as much as I do, you are in for a very pleasant surprise with this CD.

  • A must buy CD!
    author: Malachi

    This CD is amazing, the music is so damn cool. I'm already looking forward to trying to make some dances to the music and spread the word about it as well its that good. So if you are 2nd thinking about buying it, why 2nd think just buy it.

  • AMAZING FUSION OF DREAMS

    This CD is a great musical inspire travel into native Latin American sounds. A really good fusion of music of this Era to dream away in past and futures. Congratulations.

    I just didn't know there was music like this out there. This is going with me everywhere.

  • I can't wait for the next one!
    author: Kat Voletto

    In time, I will have copies of this CD in my car, in my house, in my traveling CD collection and a back up just in case a friend of mine takes one of the others! I love listening to this CD anytime... day or night... happy or sad. E.S. Posthumus is simply my favorite performance group ever. Thank you for the CD, I will treasure it always.

  • GREAT
    author: Jade

    I absolutely LOVED this CD. When I first started watching Cold Case (which is now my favorite show) I fell in love with the song "Nara". Then when I finally found the CD, I couldn't stop listening to it. No other CD has made me feel so many emotions at one time. LOVED IT!!

  • Completely wonderful
    author: Matthew Burgess

    I echo the sentiments of the above reviews...I found this cd to be a great listen, I would readily reccomend it to anyone.

    author: Tina

    A wonder. Every track is an interesting adventure. Put it on for an evening and take a nice vacation.

    author: JN

    Once I heard Nara, I knew I had to have this CD. Better than I imagined. Not a disappointing track on the it!

  • Love it...feel Nordic
    author: RastaPIrate

    I feel like a Norseman hiking through the dark forest looking for beer...no seriously, being a musician as I am I love anything that sparks the mind. This album is fantastic and I recommend it to all who love classical with a trance dance twist...

  • Incredible blend of yesterday and today
    author: Elizabeth

    As a classically trained violinist I love the use of REAL strings and the blend of both "classical" and contemporary melodies and harmonies. By adding a percussive kick to the music, E.S Posthumus' "Unearthed" is the perfect way for me to unwind or pump up depending on the song. As a music teacher, I find this genre of music priceless in helping to motivate my students as well. Bravo!

  • A brilliant composition.
    author: Peter Hewitt

    Great listening, with good variety. Some beautiful sounds!

  • author: Serena

    Cd is fantastic we have now got lots of people interested in it. All very moving tracks not one dull one.

    This CD was absolutely beautiful. Powerful,haunting, enchanting and calming and so much more. I love every piece on this cd. Great work. Looking forward to the next one!

  • I can see why....
    author: antny462

    Unique and intricate are the songs on this CD. I can see why the woman you told me about this CD named her daughter Nara. It is truly a moving song.

  • author: Chris Clark SA Life magazine, Australia

    Brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten from Los Angles composed their self financed C.D. of cinematic music, entitled Unearthed, using the concept of a soundtrack without a movie. They mysteriously call themselves E.S. Posthumus, E.S. stands for "Experimental Sounds" while "Posthumus" represents "all things past". Their music is inspired by the Pythagorean philosophy which states that "music is the harmonization of opposites; the conciliation of warring elements." E.S. Posthumus blend classical, electronica, world music and hard beats into a sound that should appeal to fans of Deep Forest, Vangelis, Enigma even Enya. The 13 tracks all named after ancient or long-standing cities have been used by nearly every major film studio in movies such as The Matrix Reloaded, Planet Of The Apes, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Lord Of The Rings, Spiderman 2, Ali and Minority Report. Unearthed covers the spectrum of emotions from dark and coral with a Latin/Gregorian feel to sunshine filled South American, Middle Eastern and Irish moods. Layers of sound build up from a full orchestra, the Seattle Choir Company, drum beats, samples, loops and synthesizers. Standout tracks are Ulaid where Davy Spillane's Uillean pipe and Irish whistle soar above sweeping Celtic melodies and Elba which has driving rock stadium drum beats behind an epic choir with electronic rhythms. Nara, used as the theme for TV’s Cold Case is moving and emotionally charged while Estremoz is a romantic expedition which combines Spanish guitar, flute, and a spiritual choir over lush strings. The gentle and calm Isfahan closes the album like a melodious sunset.

  • This is a MUST HAVE CD!
    author: Rob Z

    You know the feeling of shivers up and down your spine you get when you hear something truly amazing? Well, this CD will do it to you. These guys are true artists and musicians. I can listen to this CD over and over again. I can't wait to hear more of their music.

  • Outstanding disc!
    author: John

    Unequalled. The only word that properly describes this wonderful CD. Only rarely do I bother to purchase CDs, but this one has genuinely made the effort ánd money worthwhile. The songs on this album are unparalelled by any other whilst listening to it during leisure, or when more passively enjoyed it as background while in the meantime doing something else to focus your attention on. Aside of all these wonderful qualities, the service was tremendous. A quick delivery and that terrifically amusing response e-mail I got make this disc mandatory.

  • enjoyed this cd
    author: Debbi

    Enjoy listening to this while reading, paying bills. Wish it had the true Nara song on it. I miss the female vocals.

  • Time of arrival was fast, loved the music, can't wait for the next CD
    author: Susan

    The CD arrived very quickly, in perfect shape. I had previewed the songs on the website, so knew already they were awesome. We all can't wait for the next CD to come out. The next best thing is to meet these guys in person, and get my CD autographed! Thanks so much. Susan

  • good listening
    author: terri vinson

    This CD is a combination between classical and new age. These are gifted artists. I enjoy listening to this CD when I'm studying or just want to escape the normal routine and feed my ears some good sounds. Soul-soothing. Hope they continue to create more.

  • amazing songs, all of them.
    author: Sean M.

    The music on this entire album was amazing, truely original. I love the way the different types were blended together, classical, electronic, and choral, the cd almost makes it seem like they were meant to be together in the first place.

  • Refreshing and enjoyable
    author: Michele D.

    Refreshing CD. Music is great. Each soundtrack is different!

  • Rich & Textured Music
    author: Raquel D.N.

    As a music-lover this disc appealed to my ears, but as a dancer, the music enveloped my heart and mind. The music is wonderfully ambient, serving to mellow after a long day at work. But when Nara comes on, it's difficult to fight the urge to pick up my veil and glide and swirl. Unearthed is a perfect blend of telluric and ethereal.

  • A pleasent sound experience, unique and inspiring.
    author: Rob Payne

    Something like an epic movie soundtrack, yet with enough rhythm and blend of restrained techno to appeal to modern pop culture. Lots of choral, beautifully soft with swells, like waves of pleasant sound.

  • Beautiful Music!
    author: Sandy

    Every cut is magical, the music is new and exciting. I loved it for Nara but stayed for all the rest. I'm looking forward to my next purchase of E.S. Posthumus.

    author: Christopher Thomas

    I buy very few CDs, but after hearing some of the tracks on this album, I decided to get it. I was not disappointed - I like every song on it. It's not your standard "one hit and a lot of junk" CDs... every song is great!

  • author: Heather

    Awesome, I bought this CD especially for "Nara" the theme tune for Cold Case. What a bonus it was to find that every single track on the CD is just as good. They've taken the "Enigma" style and improved on it.

  • Prepare to be manipulated!
    author: Dave P

    Are you the kind of person who can tell when a movie is about to manipulate your emotions? When the music is about to swell, the close-up on the dying child's face is about to pan out, the camera is about to swoop across a skyline, desert or beach? If so, you'll just love this CD. It's like a collected soundtrack to all those moments in all those movies, and you know what? That's not all bad. It's actually a really fun listen. But don't expect too much depth: it's the soundtrack to a summer blockbuster, the one with the explosions and the hero and getting/losing/saving of the girl. It's the movie where the TV preview starts with the gravelly voice saying "In a world where..." or "In a time when..." That's still a fun movie, though, if you have the popcorn and the soda and the jujubes.

  • creativity for the creative
    author: ophelia julien

    I had noticed the theme for "Cold Case," but first heard the entire CD when a friend brought it along to Medieval Swordplay Class. As a writer who works to music, I am always on the lookout for music that hits, grabs, or even tackles me and Unearthed by E.S. Posthumus did all of that. It took my breath away. My friend told me where and how to get it and I took action right away. I needed to have that music in my possession, and "need" is the operative word. This is great stuff for both floating away with image after image in the mind's eye, or for having entire movies flash across that internal screen. Open yourself up for this one -if not, prepare to have the doors to your inner world battered open.

  • Lets music say it all !!!
    author: clansy

    Amazing mixture...Pure perfection...

  • WOW!
    author: KrW

    This CD and Kevin Bartlett's Near-Life Experiece are the two best 'giant orchestra-sound with a lot of interesting electronic elements, as told by one or two people" albums to come along in a long. long time..

  • Sensational!!!
    author: Kris

    My reason for buying this CD is thanks to NBC's wonderful series, "Cold Case". I loved the theme music. I had to have the CD, the rest of the music is very soothing and so different. I encourage everyone to purchase it.

  • Evocative Un-Earthing
    author: Faheem Chishty

    E.S. Posthumus’s CD entitled Unearthed was originally released through an independent label and by independent distributors in 2000. It is with much delight that I now see its movement into mainstream distribution where it can be appreciated by a larger audience due to its commercial usage. With thirteen tracks it provides an eclectic collection of atmospheric and ethereal compositions. With ambient rhythms, Unearthed is a crucible of classical, electronica reminiscent dramatic score work, and breathtaking choir work. It maybe all too easy to identify in the world music genre or New Age, but for me the work defies these categories since it evokes something human deep within. Personally Unearthed catapults me as a listener on a vertical journey to from contemplation to passion and a variety of other human heights and depths. Amongst the many images conjured, horizontally, depending on the track, I imagine myself gliding on horseback with trees whizzing by in the early mist of dawn and other times I imagine myself clawing to overcome the mountainous and treacherous terrains in a blitz of hail and lightening. This is a very evocative musical composition that seriously affects the consciousness and fuels the imagination—conceiving this musical work as a soundtrack to the soul may not be entirely wrong. As the titles to the tracks indicate this CD is a journey of an ancient world, and each track attempts to reflect some of the traditional flavor expressed by that classical civilization and its history. From Anitssa to Isfahan the music is the vehicle by which you will travel with E.S. Posthumus at the helm. And just as these ancient civilizations will be unearthed something deeply traditional and primordial will be evoked too to be unearthed—perhaps something inspiring, akin to the front cover which is a painting of St. Matthew’s Inspiration by Caravaggio, in our disenchanted and alienated world.

  • BRILLIANT!!!!
    author: Anita

    Ummm ... I ordered this CD about a week ago, and already I'm in LOVE with it. With most CDs I buy, I need to listen to the album a few times to get to know the songs and to start getting into it, but with this CD, I fell in love with it straight away. I can't really describe what it is about it that makes it so cool, it just is! Maybe its just cos of the fact that I've never heard anything like it before?! Put simply, its basically pure genius I feel!! :)

  • A Breath of Fresh Air!
    author: Tiffany

    This is absolutely an amazing CD, a wonderful fusion of new age, classical and something else I just can’t put my finger on. Either way, the sound is unique and no matter your musical tastes, I’m positive you will thoroughly enjoy it. Tired of the same old mainstream music? I highly recommend this CD. I for one cannot wait until their next release!

  • Fantastic, Magical, and Exciting
    author: P Mendoza

    This album definitely captures what seems to be an emerging sound in what can be called a contemporary symphonic sound. The use of synthesizers and drum machines combined with the orchestra and choir transforms mere music into a wonderful experience!

  • author: Richard

    This CD is excellent! Every track is a masterpiece in itself. The tracks Ulaid, Nara, and Pompeii are outstanding. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who likes New Age, Classical, and even Rock. Again, excellent CD!

  • I love it-You will too
    author: Misha

    The music is so beautiful...I still cant believe to own the cd. I found my feature wedding-music, great sex-music, and awesome everyday-music. Enjoy it, like I do!!

  • Outstanding. This is a great cross over piece!
    author: Jerome

    I really enjoy this CD. I listen to many musical genres and appreciate instrumental music, but am not a devoted fan of classical music. This music is produced using traditionally classical music instruments, but with a tempo that is uplifting and deep. My exposure to this piece was through Cold Case, and once I heard that theme song I had to have it. The good news is that most of the CD is similarly stimulating. I would highly recommend this CD to a person who appreciates good music composition and performance and does not get hung-up on labels.

  • Awesome tracks!
    author: DM

    This CD is excellent! Listen to it in my CD deck whenever I'm driving. The dramatic mood of the music is conveyed prefectly with their mix of classical and electronica. No wonder samples of their tracks are used in TV and Movies...

  • author: Pam

    Beautiful all the way from the packaging to the music. I've been listening to it non-stop since I got it. Looking forward to more.

  • Takes your breath away
    author: Susan

    The music literally takes your breath away. It is well arranged with a few surprises. Some songs have a calming effect, where others, make you want to get up and dance. A most extraordinary CD. Okay......I give it a thumbs up!:-)

  • Still amazing
    author: Akira

    This CD has created around 3 years ago, but it's still amazing musics indeed. If you like Enigmatic Musics, you must listen to this CD!

    I couldn't wait to play it after I took it out of my mailbox. I listened to it loudly in my car in its entirety. A real treat....Indeed, an amazing addition to my collection.

  • author: Jessica

    The CD is fabulous. It's a wonderful mix of new age pop and relaxing music.

  • Fantastic CD
    author: Kris

    I heard one song from this CD through my sibling, so I went in search for the artist's CD. When I saw they also made the theme for "Cold Case" (I always loved that theme) I just had to buy the CD and see how the rest sounded. I was not disappointed - I absolutely love the entire thing; and my friend also fell in love when she heard it. I also find it's great music to work on my homework too. I highly recommend it!

  • author: Bev

    If you like the song NARA you will definentley love the rest of the cd! Spectacular!

  • Fabulous, Invigorating, Intense, The Best!
    author: sing my heart out

    I thought I heard the familiar sound of Pedro Eustache amidst the rest of the band and I was right. This music is something everyone should hear at least once. Then they'll be hooked.

  • Amazing! Best music ever!
    author: Matt

    Bought it after hearing the song NARA on Cold Case and readiv some reviews. Its like Enya meets Movie Soundtracks! Better then movie soundtracks and cheaper priced! Ive never heart such great music! Id definetly buy the next album in a heartbeat!

  • Good Stuff!
    author: Sean

    If you like contemporary instrumental, or the music of Hans Zimmer's Film Scores, check this one out. It is a clever blend of electronic, catchy beats with strong classical influence a la Mozart's Requiem.

  • Inspired Music!
    author: HSWotan

    Nara had me hooked from the start but the whole CD is inspired! I'm eager for more CDs by E.S.Posthumus.

  • author: Jim

    This CD is fantastic! Every song on here is gold! My favorites are Antissa and Ebla. E.S. Posthumus' music is truly one of a kind!

  • really really great !!!
    author: Ina

    I bought this CD because of the theme from Cold Case (Nara)! Of course i really like the whole CD! Fabulous music!

  • entire CD is great
    author: Kirsten

    I feel like I found a real treasure. Like many other people, I bought it for Nara, the theme from Cold Case. The entire CD is wonderful! I have told many friends about it.

  • One the best CDs I've owned

    author: Simon Arthur

    Bought this CD on the basis of liking the theme from Cold Case - 'Nara'. The rest of the tracks are just as brilliant. I highly recommend this CD!

  • Refreshing and different - worth a try
    author: Peter Jeffery

    Really enjoyed this - intrigued by sample I heard on the net and geuinely pleased with the CD. Would appeal to quite a range of tastes - some tracks to relax to, others to invigorate!

  • author: andrew holland

    an absolute treasure.hope there is coming more soon.

  • Best alternative/ambient discovery since DEAD CAN DANCE
    author: Rick Smith

    Without a doubt, E.S. Posthumus' "Unearthed" is my most treasured musical discovery since stumbling across Dead Can Dance lo these 15 years ago. A rich, complex, provocative, utterly flawless musical experience unlike anything I've ever discovered in Best Buy or at Amazon.com. Makes me long for the grotty corner record shops of my distant youth, and the racks of surprises waiting there. Thank you, CDBaby! Let's have more Posthumus, posthaste.

  • when's the next album?
    author: D.Baloy

    Very symphonic, though some pieces seem to lack a good ending. The choral work and orchestral/ethnic/electronic instrument mix is very beautiful and interesting. I would buy the next album.

  • Absolutely outstanding!
    author: Max

    Cold Case was the programme. I loved the sig tune. Tracked it down and found this unbelievable CD. It has not been out of my player for three days. A fantastic mix of musical styles, track 2 is my current favourite but it's unfair as they are all brilliant. If you do nothing else today, buy it! Hope there will be another soon.

  • Unearthed is one of the best CD's i have purchased in a long time!
    author: Kellie

    I had heard Nara from a friend and had to have it. Although when i got the whole CD and listened to it i absolutely luved it! Unearthed is just one of those uniquely splended titles that anyone could like! :D

  • Breathtaking and inspirational
    author: Meghan

    I have been listening to this CD nonstop since it arrived - it's such intricate, cinematic music. Great driving music, and even better music to write to.

  • A soundtrack-like work best described as modern classical brilliance.
    author: Alejandro G-F

    A soundtrack-like work best described as modern classical brilliance. This CD features music that will please both classical music lovers AND those of us who love a nice catchy beat. All tracks are enjoyable, with no dreaded "album fillers." Each song manages to capture a certain time, mood, ambiance, etc., and makes your imagination soar. Best music I have listened to in a long, long time. Definitely recommended.

  • Awesome
    author: Heather

    Been looking for this CD for about a year now and finally found it! The music is AWESOME and the full CD goes great with my workout routine! Definately a must have!

  • Beautiful variety of powerful themes
    author: K L Manwell

    Although I'd only heard "Nara" and "Pompeii" before buying this album, I was very pleased that Celtic and Hindi themes are also featured in several tracks. Go ahead and listen to the samples but, in my case, computer speakers simply don't do the music justice. Truly wonderful stuff.

  • Great!
    author: Amanda

    that's an amazing piece of music I've never heard something like that before ,now I listen to it the whole day and I'm very happy to own it.

  • Sensational CD! Splendid Service!

    This CD captures some of the most ethereal and mesmerizing textures in music today. Not crazy about all of the cuts, but most are beautiful treasures.

  • author: Jolanda, from Holland

    Unearthed, very, very beautiful i can listen the hole day

  • author: Digiangel

    This CD is an absolute treasure, I'm a fanatic about origianl score soundtracks, and although this album is not a score of a movie its a score of thier life, where we all just sit back and enjoy. I love it so much that I had to make a fanlisting of the album.

  • ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
    author: Joey

    This is one of the best CD's I've ever bought in my life. Every song is stunningly beautiful. It's like listening to magic.

  • The name says it all, 'Unearthed' indeed
    author: Scarlett

    It's so..haunting. every single piece of music in this cd will make your imagination run wild. Be a hero, be a lover, be everything while listening. At the end of your stressful day, listen to this cd, it will 'purify' your soul. sounds corny?Those who have this cd will agree with me.

    I purchased the CD for a Valentine gift for track 6, (Nara) which is the theme for Cold Case. A pleasant surprise. The entire CD is great.

  • Great Valentine's day Gift

    I bought this for my girlfirend as a Valntine's Day gift and she has been playing it non stop!! Excellent music!

  • amazing music loved it...
    author: jules

    I loved this cd I could listen to all day it reminds me of hans zimmers music in gladiator but even better. great stuff.

  • If you liked Gladiator...
    author: Brittany

    If you liked the wonderful soundtrack by Hans Zimmer for the movie Gladiator, you will love this album. It has more strings than Gladiator, but the same stong, powerful, yet subtley elegant melodies are present.

  • Intense, layered, atmospheric
    author: Stella

    This cd was a revelation for me. I listen to a lot of ambient/electronica, and the arrangements on this cd surpass much of what is on the market today. There is depth and substance to the compositions, and a tension that engages the listener. Truly enjoyable.

  • Great music
    author: AMB

    I order this only for nara, and then i find out that all others titels are great. Directly from US to Switzerland, very fast. I don't regret this order... suuuuppppppeeeeerrrrrr

  • Wow
    author: Steph

    This CD was awesome! Ever since I got the CD (about a week ago) it has been in my player. The music is inspiring, moving, and powerful. One of my best purchases ever!!

  • More than expected
    author: CDM

    Like others, I bought this for "Nara", only to find that I love the rest of the selections as well. Not only did I find a great CD, but I also found a great site, CDBABY.

  • eh, it's pretty good
    author: sean

    By eh, I mean fan-freakin-tastic. The principle reason for purchase of this cd was to get ahold of nara, the rest was just a bonus. What a bonus! Into anyone like enigma or even oldschool leftfield? This cd is eclipses other comparative artists. Enjoy.

  • FABULOUS MUSIC
    author: Karen

    This CD is one of the best I have ever listened to and purchased. I am so very glad I found this website and the CD!

  • Fantastic!
    author: Paul

    Thank you very much. The CD was everything it was expected to be, and more. The Strong high quality, emotional instrumentals makes this cd reminiscent to many of the film scores I listen to.....example (gladiator or The Day After Tomorrow)...I particularly enjoy the driving force of such songs as Pompeii and Ebla. And it also has very mellow tones in such songs as Isfahan and Cuzco.....have enjoyed listening to it several times over.

  • Excellent CD
    author: Chelsea

    A very good music selection that can span all tastes. One or two songs weren't really my thing, but the rest were great. The only complaint I could give is that most are too addicting and got stuck in my head constantly. :) I bought it for Pompeii but I think Ebla is my favorite song now. Anyway, the cost is worth it, and I was amazed how fast this CD was delivered to me, one of the things that makes me usually not consider buying online.

  • Amazing CD!
    author: Luis

    One of the best CDs in my collection! Great transition between songs...the perfect CD for anyone that loves the instrumental movie themes.

  • Simply the best of its kind
    author: Adam Wilcox

    Unearthed is possibly the best example of how modern and classic music can work together. Well worth importing from the US to the UK!

  • Great, great, great
    author: Martha

    I was looking around for some time just to get this CD and now I have and it´s even better than I imagined. I can recommend this Cd to everyona who likes soundtracks, especially by Posthumus!

  • Great Music
    author: Mike

    Absolutely great sounding music. The song "Nara" is so soothing. I heard it in a couple of movies and searched until I found it. So glad I did. The other songs are great also. Looking forward to the next CD.

  • My first E.S. Posthumus experience, absolutely incredible!
    author: Jan

    I can't even say enough about the music on this CD. All the other CDs are in their cases, but this one never gets pulled back out of the player; I think I've about worn it out already :-) Incredible service from CD Baby, Incredible CD from E.S. Posthumus - couldn't have asked for a better experience!

  • author: Jean Madison

    This is a great sound track!!!!!!!! The first Unearth music was when I saw the Affair of the Necklace Trailer about some of things that happened before the French Revolution!!! Cooool Trailer and even Coooler the song Harappa!!! All the Others are even more GREAT....ect!!!!

  • Wonderful!!
    author: Brandi

    I originally bought this cd for the song Nara, which I had heard on the teaser trailer for the movie Vanity Fair. I ended up loving the entire cd. I recommend it if you are an avid reader, or are student, of which I am both. Great cd!!

  • Orchestral magnificence...
    author: Sam Jackson

    I've had E.S. Posthumus' songs ever since 2001... and I finally decided to buy this CD, because they DESERVE MY MONEY! I love the full orchestra overlain with bass beats, ranging from action-packed ("Pompeii") to truly beautiful pieces ("Estremoz"). Unlike other reviewers, "Pompeii" from the original Spider-man trailer is what got me into E.S. Posthumus!

  • Orchestral Magnificence
    author: Phil Rogers

    the Music is Powerful and uplifting, a kind of carmina Burana meets Enya. its wonderful Lush orchestrations are a pure delight, I cant wait to play it again

  • Great CD, it was even more than I thought it would be.
    author: K. Realmuto

    I bought the CD because of the song Nara (the theme to Cold Cases) It didn't let me down, the whole CD, every track, is fabulous.

  • amazing
    author: OTB

    This album is amazing! The most spiritual music I have heard in my life. ESPECIALLY NARA!WHAT A PIECE. E.S. POSTHUMUS is a RELIGION its addicting its like a damn drug. I wish you guys were well known. Maurice Jarre sucks in front of you guys. Make it easier to find your cds and MAKE ANOTHER ONE,MAKE A NARA II AND NARA III AND NARA IIII

  • Played on sisters new stereo system, mine next!
    author: Cd Baby

    I was enthralled with this music when I saw the movie "Unfaithful". I took it to my sisters and she said WOW< WHAT IS THAT? We all think it is incredible, so different from other recordings we own. I am getting a new stereo system, stero store suggested I bring some of my own cds in to hear how much better they would sound on new unit. Salespeople very impressed with it!! I can only wish for Volume 2 now.

  • Absolutely love it
    author: Icarus

    This CD has not left my player since I first popped it in. Every track has something to offer and a song for every mood. Everyone who has heard it so far always stops and asks me who it is. 'Unearthed' is an album that you will love no matter how many times you hear it.

  • A rare gem - sensational!
    author: RB

    Truly great CD's that blow your socks off are very thin on the ground these days. "Unearthed" is one of those gems that come along maybe once every five years. Sensational concept and great sounds!

  • author: mike

    simply one of the most amazing things i have heard since transiberian orchestra... amazing and may even be better.

  • Better than anticipated

    I bought this CD because I love the theme song used on the Cold Case television show. I was really surprised when I found I loved every song on the CD. It's great listening.

  • Better than most soundtracks!
    author: Nicholaus

    I have always loved movie music, so I was thrilled to find this album, which sounds like a mix of my favorite movie composers. It's truly an album worth owning!

  • BEAUTIFUL...SPELL-BINDING....EXCELLENT
    author: Janet

    This is one of the best CD's I've heard in years. It's the stuff that is better than the usual fare, yet rarely gets the recognition deserved. A MUST HAVE for any true lover of great creative work.

    This is one of the best CDs I've heard in ages. Perfect for fans of many different genres.

  • Fantastic CD
    author: samurairas

    Featuring fantastic music that you've heard but likely never been able to find, "Unearthed" is an excellent example of modern, hard-hitting Orchestral music.

  • author: ps

    I started looking for Nara about 2 years ago when it was the trailer for Unfaithful.... I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I bought it so that I could listen to it while I work out. I thought I may get one or two other songs off of it that I like..... I LIKE EVERY SONG! This CD is so powerful and inspiring....I cannot stop listening to it! THANK YOU!

  • Sensational - every cut on the CD is riveting.
    author: Rick J

    You just can't listen to this CD once - it's absolutely too good. Rarely ever can one purchase a CD and expect all of its content to be satisfying, but this one certainly exceeds expectations. If crossover electronica music fits your tastebuds, then you'll love this one.

  • Gives ambient music a great name!
    author: Roger Smith

    Love this CD, and the fact that so many people have written positive reviews means that an amazing number of people also love it. It is perfect walkman music, the beat is always uplifting, and I feel like I am walking around supported by some kind of angelic pressence. The music is a continuous source of inspiration, and I do look forward to the release of their next CD. One thing, maybe when they release the next one they could put in the 'Nara' version from Cold Case!

  • e.s. posthumous' sound is superb
    author: levelpath

    unearthed is a superb album with a variety of melodies sure to please the pickiest of music lovers. the choral and instrumental sounds are well-mixed and superior to many similar albums by other artists of the same genre.

  • Caters to every mood...
    author: Andrew

    This CD has a song for every mood. However, my favorite is still "Nara," one of the most haunting tunes I've heard in some time.

  • Wow
    author: Erin

    Wow. I am just in awe of this CD. This music is beautiful. It really is amazing. To E.S. Posthumus - Keep it up! I really hope to hear more from you guys!

  • Why is this spectacular music such a well-kept secret?
    author: Jeff Blaney

    Terrific music, well recorded - clean sound, nice imaging. It took me about one year to identify 'Nara' as the powerful music in the preview of Antwone Fisher, HBO's coming attractions, and finally 'The Clearing'. The rest of the tracks are also outstanding. Dramatic, stirring music reminiscent of Respighi , Vaughan Williams, and even Deep Forest - it's hard to pin down, but well worth checking out.

  • Great CD and Service
    author: Courtney McNamara

    Great CD, good songs and mix.

  • wonderful!!!!

  • I love it, but I wish they had the NFL on CBS theme
    author: Big D

    A 14 second version of the theme can be found on the E.S. Posthumus website.

  • Wonderful. Both familiar and surprising
    author: Tim Cornell

    This is a wonderful album. At once familiar but full of surprises. Like putting on a favourite overcoat and finding £20 in the pocket.

  • Unique, original, amazing, etc.
    author: Ben

    Since this group has but one album, anything I say about the artist is also about the CD. In short, there is no other group like this. Their music is simulataneously relaxing, invigorating, moving, and intriguing. Basically, they have created a new genre.

  • Filling Enigma's Void
    author: Jake

    Like so many others, I bought this CD because of Nara - used in Cold Case and so many movie trailers. But now that I've had the chance to listen to the whole thing, I like other songs as well. Antissa, the first track, is really beautiful.

  • Beautiful music!
    author: PB

    Bought this for my son but the whole family is listening to it. Enjoying every track. Beautiful, wonderful music!

  • A true masterpiece!
    author: Matt

    I just got this CD this morning, and it is absolutely incredible! My favorite songs in particular are Ulaid, Lepcis Magna, and Menouthis. I'll never stop listing to this CD; it's my favorite!

    Diese CD ist echt der Hammer, lange habe ich nach dem Lied Nara gesucht, es war der Sing zur Ring Con 2004 in Bonn / Germany. Bei Euch habe ich es gefunden, Ihr seid einfach spitze.....

  • Well recorded

    I bought it for my fiance as he is a great fan of the theme from Cold Case 'Nara' - he said it was fantastically recorded & also surprisingly ended up liking the other songs on the CD.

    author: E.S. Posthumus: Unearther

    I got the C.D. for the song from "Cold Case", but ended up loving all of them. I've been a professional musician for over 10 years and this is the first time I've heard such a great combo of voice, instruments, and percussion. I look forward to future projects.

  • Great music
    author: Thomas

    Really a great CD. Like film music, only better, because it doesn't depend on the action in the movie. Since I've got it, I listen to it almost every day and it never gets boring. It's a pitty that this is the only CD of E.S.Posthumus at this time.

  • My new favorite CD!

    I also sought out this CD due to the song "Nara." While it is still my favorite song on the CD, the entire CD is very strong. As has been mentioned already, it's very dramatic music, full of mystery, romance, and drama. I find Nara incredibly erotic. It has that romantic, ethereal quality along with the powerful surges that go right to my very core. It gives me goosebumps every time. These are very talented musicians. The CD is very, very different.... orchestral and classical, yet very dramatic and almost new age, but not in a cheesy way. I would be very interested in hearing more from E.S. Posthumus.

  • Very unusual...different...a nice change from everything else!!
    author: Duke

    The music is different from anything else we have. It's melodic and soothing, yet it possesses a great deal of energy at the same time. I don't know how they did it, but I'm glad I own it!! My husband loved it too when he heard it. It's a great addition to our CD collection!

  • This CD is simply amazing
    author: Bomble

    The CD Unearthed is simply amazing. From the theme "Nara" to Cold Case, to others such as Extremoz. My ipod is tingling with joy.

  • Haunting and Angelic
    author: Maggie

    This c.d. takes you away to mystical place and makes you want to take the trip over and over again. Initially purchased for the song Nara, the rest of the c.d. weaves a rich tapestry of contemporary/classical music that is both haunting and angelic.

  • Arrived in good condition,loved all the songs on the CD
    author: Helene Lillian Walls

    LOVED THE ENTIRE CD, arrived in good condition, ready for a new CD from E.S. POSTHUMUS,let me know when one comes out please. Thankyou for sending me the CD Helene (HeleneLW77@aol.com)

  • Great CD. Love it. Thank you CD Baby for having this cd.
    author: Denise Fontenot

    It was hard to find anyone that had this particular cd. I searched everywhere. All concret and mortar stores to no avail. I get on the internet and finally find out the artist, but still had a hard time finding where I could get my hands on this particular cd. Then I found CD Baby. Thank you cd baby for having the music I was looking for. Will be back for more. Thanks

  • Wow!
    author: Erin

    This is the first cd in a long time that I've bought and loved every song on it. I've heard this music in movie trailers for so long and am now enjoying hearing it whenever I want. Its absolutly beautiful and amazing.

  • Wonderful CD!
    author: Janet

    This is one of my favorite CDs -- I listen to it frequently, and I can hardly wait for more from these guys.

  • Xmaspresent for the daugther
    author: Hurdelbrink, Bärbel

    Everything is ok, I got the CD yesterday and it is for my daughter the Xmaspresent that she looked out and was searching for a long time because she loves filmmusic.

  • Can't wait for the next CD by ES Posthumus
    author: Sam McCaughey

    One of the rare CD's that you can listen to over and over and still look forward to. I hope there is a follow up CD soon!

    author: Daniboy

    GREAT CD! Excellent combination of chants and rock!

  • Oh my gosh!!
    author: Mary

    What can I say...this is some of the most amazing music I have EVER heard! I listen to everything...pop, classical, hip hop, reggae, folk, rock, techno, R & B, you name it...and I have never heard anything like this! This CD is never going to leave my Walkman. Now go out and buy copies for all your friends because everyone needs to hear this music!

  • Fantastic Music; please do more!
    author: Drew Rizzarone

    Haunting, beautiful, soulful music. I have never heard anything like it, and I've been listening to music for a LONG time. Everyone who likes this music needs to tell their friends and encourage the purchase of the CD as widely as possible; this is an extremely talented act that we NEED to hear more from; their talent needs to be rewarded with cold hard $$$. I am serious; that is something I do not say about a lot of artists. The track Lepcis Magna was so good I almost cried. I was raised on classical music, developed a taste for pop, rock, alt rock, classic rock, jazz, reggae, house, trance, world, rap, and almost everything in between. Everyone who I have recommended this music too has liked it REGARDLESS of their previous musical tastes. This is truly genre-crossing music that speaks to the soul. If you like music, even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to buy this album.

  • Beautiful Music
    author: Alexa

    This is a CD that is powerful and beautiful, a lovely combination. I really enjoy listening to it.

  • A superb collection of powerful pieces which encompass many cultures. Beautiful choral accompaniment at times.

  • Fantastic music...
    author: Peter

    I bought this CD for Nara, the themesong to Cold Case. But also the other songs are fantastic... Unfortunately the CD is not available in Germany.

  • Great CD... worth the money.
    author: Jon

    Unearthed was great, I particuarly like the tracks "Ebla" and "Nara." I am very happy with the money spent, I wish i could find more work by this artist.

  • Thrilled
    author: Shonda K.

    I was very impressed. I purchased this CD on a whim (heard the music on Cold Case) and was pleasantly surprised by the amalgamation of styles and genres. This is not normally my type but I've found myself listening to it over my regular types.

  • Now this is what I call music...
    author: Kaushal

    I love the TV show Cold case, 75% because of the opening theme. This is how I came across ES Posthumus. Man this is a good CD. Specially the songs "Nara" and "Ebla".

  • A great album, I'm definitly curious as to how their music will progress in the
    author: wHISp3R

    This CD is one of those where I am able to listen to the whole album, not just a one song CD. I really enjoy the blending of synth work with choral and string arrangements. I'm definitly interested in how E.S. Posthumus' music will progress in the future. Once again, good stuff!

  • The very best music
    author: Jake

    People don't realize it but this music is used everywhere. Pompeii and Nara appear in movies and movie trailers as often as any other track. Music is extremely well composed. It is classical but very interesting and dramatic at the same time.

  • very moving very cool
    author: Nadeem Mirza

    this music is truly moving and epic. i usually download my music but i decided to buy the cd cuz even the cover is pretty rad. i listen to rap and rock a lot...not really this kinda stuff...but this is a special case. e.s. posthumus = geniuses

  • author: Melody

    This is a fabulous cd! It has become the soundtrack to my life right now, and I am showing it to everyone I come in contact with. My only complaint: make it easier to find! It took me about 30 minutes after figuring out who wrote that great haunting song on the trailer of Vanity Fair to actually find out where to buy it. Love the music! Keep doing it. ~Melody

  • Great comtemporary Music
    author: Mediabear

    ES Posthumus music on this CD was widely known for the use in deiverse Movie Trailers like Spiderman, Planet Of The Apes and Affair of the Necklace. But when I finally got the CD I found out that ES Posthumus works where Rob Dougan has left in Matrix and/or Matrix Relaoded. A great example of comtemporary music: Dynamic, eclectic and harmonic. A treat for everyone who like "visual" music.

  • the track "Nara" is awesome - moody with the sense of intrigue
    author: Linda Anne Gomez

    The music is quite different from what I normaly listen to and I welcomed the change. I enjoyed the track "Nara" the most; it is also the theme music from my favourite television show. Awesome - moody with the sense of intrigue is how I would describe that piece of music. I enjoy it almost on a daily basis. Thank you for producing a good CD that makes driving in the city more tolerable!!

  • Innovative
    author: Derek

    One of the best, must unique CDs I've listened to in a long time. I tried to find the theme song to Cold Case, and the only place to get this disc was from CD Baby..so I bought it. I love it! There isn't one bad song on the entire album.

  • Simply the best
    author: Dino

    finally i managed to find the music i've been looking for all these while. highly recommended - NARA

  • A classic. Sounds are equisite. Especially like "Nara" (soundtrack from "Cold Ca
    author: D Barry

    "Unearthed" is a collection of musical poems. The sounds are equisite, ranging from intense and dynamic to calm and serene. Especially liked "Nara" (soundtrack from "Cold Case Files") and Cuzco (resolves to tension, very uplifting). There is a certain perfectionism the arrangements. Each song stands on its own. The Italian Renaissance (?) painting of St. Matthew and the Angel epitomizes the tension and beauty in the songs. What a treat!

  • Awesome CD.
    author: Steve

    Ordered this CD and got it in 2 days. The music sounds like a soundtrack. There isnt much vocals on the CD, but the music is good enough without them. My favorites on this ablum are Elba and Nara. You should definately check this CD out. Some tracks are very calming while others are very intense. Some tracks also have a techno sound in them. It all blends very nicely together. Great job!

  • I can't believe this cd isn't more widely sold!
    author: Ileana Kulp

    This cd is incredible! If it were better publicized I'm sure it would be a best seller. It reminds me of a good Craig Armstrong score. But it's different and better in many ways. I've played it about five times already and I've only had it two days!

  • superb essay music
    author: Cal

    I've been searching for the creators of 'Nara' for about a year, so I was understandably delighted to spot this album on CD Baby. E S Posthumus's 'Unearthed' is some of the most haunting music I've experienced, and its ecclectic fusion of genre creates the perfect working atmosphere. I'm a third year Cambridge undergrad and this is my new favourite album to write essays to; it's pervasive but subtle, and I love every minute of it...

  • Soulful music and very good service from CD baby
    author: SJ

    First of all let me congratulate CD baby on their excellent service...I got the CD in 2-3 days after placing the order.Thats awesome! N' now abt music,its beautiful..to say the least...soul stirring and melancholy....carries you into another realm....

  • wonderfully haunting
    author: Burn

    Brought for NARA. The other tracks are a great bonus.

  • Great service from CD Baby. Haunting music .
    author: John

    Haunting,totally unique music,like from a different planet. Great service from CD Baby.

  • A masterpiece!
    author: PanzerMarthe

    I've been listening to streamingsoundtracks.com for a long time now, and when I heard the tracks from this album I just had to buy it. I searched all over the internet until I found it here on CD Baby. I've been listening to this gem everyday for the last week. It's a wonderful, powerful and unique album!! I just hope the guys in E.S. Posthumus know how popular this album is worldwide, and keep writing this kind of music!!

  • No file swapping of this one!
    author: Greg McC

    This CD is outstanding. I rip and share a lot music, but not this one. These guys deserve every penny of the cost of the album. I'll buy the next one too!

  • I'd recommend this album to anyone.
    author: Axel

    I listen to a lot of pop, techno and classical among other things and when I ran across Pompeii, Ebla and Nara on a frinds computer I knew that I had to get this album. The blending of classical and electronic makes this an amazing album. I hope they release another one soon.

  • author: Penny

    This is the third purchase of this CD. Both of my daughters heard it at my house and had to have it. As a matter of fact, one of my daughters is a Capt in the Army. She leaves for Iraq next week and is taking this CD with her because she loves it. I first heard a song from this CD on the "Cold Case" show. I loved it so much I searched the Web until I found it. I don't know what else to say except the music on this CD, "sends me!"

  • I'm Speechless!!!
    author: Mark

    I searched for the artist who wrote the theme to cold case and found this CD here at CD Baby. I listen to alot of modern classical music like amici and artists such as enigma, Enya,and so on but this CD would have to be my all time favourite! It's just so easy to leave the world behind you as you listen to the inspirational music. Guys, you Rock!

  • Great CD! Fantastic and dramatic music.
    author: Backbyrner

    Like a number of other TV junkies I followed the forum discussions to identify the creators of the "Cold Case" theme music. What I got was a whole lot more than the single track "Nara" that I was after. This album a great collection of tracks and is now my favourite.

  • very different
    author: clay

    bought this cd for the theme song from COLD CASE (NARA).. the rest of the disc is also worthwhile.. although it might take getting used to.. very heady.. also congrats to CD BABY for prompt and accurate delivery.

  • very nice
    author: masooma

    I bought this CD for Nara, the themesong to Cold Case. I also am enjoying Pompeii and Antissa.

  • I fell in love with this music
    author: thundering thru the valleys in Washington

    When listening to this CD it sends me to another place far away. If you close your eyes you can be flying by a mountain or over an ocean. Note: Not a good idea to close your eyes while driving. But fun to listen to while driving. My friends and I agree that the more you listen the more you notice how much creative energy went in to composing the songs. Each with there own feeling that either lifts you to the heavens or sends you thundering through the valleys as you fly along at top speed. Great to listen to while wife is shopping and you're needing to relax after a hard day working.

  • Awesome CD
    author: Anthony Lecorchick

    I purchased this CD after hearing Pompeii in a flash video. The CD is overall quite awesome. It's songs are a nice mix of both instrumental and vocal classical and electronica, and it sounds awesome.

  • worth the price
    author: dana

    Very dramatic, creative but sadly,it borders on corny now and then. Great ideas, wish they leaned away from common time once in awhile. There will be many more uses in hollywood for this sweeping collection than what we've heard thusfar but with a little more guts this group of musicians could avoid that banality altogether.

  • Beautiful music

  • Absolutely incredible
    author: SonySnake

    There were always a few movie trailers out there that I saved just because the music was so good, I finally went out and researched a bunch of them and found out many were on this very CD, what luck! I ordered it up and was not disappointed. Not only familiar favorites like Nara, Harappa, and Pompeii, but new stuff I don't know how I lived with myself never hearing before (Antissa, wow). This puts so many imitators to shame, you owe it to yourself to experience this CD!

  • Worth a listen
    author: John

    I like this CD for background music. The music has a lot of atmosphere, but it isn't terribly deep. That means that your interest in this CD will "self-destruct" after about five listens. Nevertheless, that will give you your money's worth.

  • Impowering
    author: Carebearscloud

    This CD was so good. I own over 500 cds of all difrent types of music and this cd is one of my new favorites. I first herd on of their songs in the Vanity Fair trailer and i searchd for over two hours for it witch led me to Cdbaby.com. i bought the cd without thinking about it and i love it. It uses a good mix and instuments and dose not get boring or repetative.

  • perfect!!
    author: Giulia

    Pompeii was the first song I ever heard and loved it immediately! The rest of the songs are equally good! Perfect for studying, or on the train or as background music for just about anything. I know it's been said before but it really is a movie soundtrack without a movie. You HAVE to buy this cd.

  • great CD awesome
    author: Nathan

    This has an epic feel to- choral singing and a mixture of techno beats with classical orchistral sounds. It's original and very worth the money.

  • Mesmerizing
    author: Thump

    An absolutely mesmerizing effort by E.S. Posthumus! Me thinks they should collaborate with the Trans Siberian Orchestra for live performances...

  • Excellent!
    author: Amy

    I love this CD. I'd heard clips of some of the songs and couldn't wait to get the full versions. I especially love Ebla and am satisfied with the entire CD. Well worth what I paid for it!

  • Loved it, both relaxing and rejuvenating
    author: Mark Macyszyn

    I, like many people were intrigued by the Cold Case theme. After several months I couldn't take it any more, I HAD TO FIND OUT THE SOURCE OF THAT MUSIC!! I was very pleased that I found out about E.S. Posthumus after spending a few minutes on the internet. Then I had to find out if there was a CD available. Thank you CD Baby for carrying this CD. I listen to it when I'm driving, at work, and while I'm working on my computer. All the songs are good, but NARA just blows me away!! People who liked this may also like ENIGMA

  • Why has no one else thought of this?
    author: Philip Henry

    Classical elements mixed with electronica: a killer combo that equals an incredibly unique sound. This is the music of the future, folks; yes, the grown-ups and the kids can play together peacefully, and this album proves it. I ordered the CD partially to find out more about this group, but there isn't much to be found out. This group apparently WANTS to be shrouded in mystery. Nevertheless, the CD is more than worth this price. Ulaid is fantastic...why not throw in Celtic in the mix! I'm eagerly awaiting another CD, not just remixes of their old material (Tikal Remix? Bleh...)

  • perfect...!
    author: richard

    NARA,of course,is perfect...and I'm very happy now to know all the other tracks...congratulations from FRANCE.

  • A gem of untold worth.
    author: Another Mad Hatter

    The excavation theme of the album was appropriate for the digging I had to do to find it. It was worth every minute however. The elements of voice, orchestra and electronics are combined so masterfully that the listening experience is one of true delight.

  • If this doesn't inspire you see your doctor!
    author: LSS

    This was released in '01 and I only find it now?! This is the most beautiful music and I'm so happy to have found it. I would liken it to a modern day version of The Mission soundtrack...but much, much better. Don't read reviews - just buy it!

  • Nara is amazing!
    author: Kenji

    Nara is one of the best songs I've finally listened to! I love some of the other songs which are brilliant, but Nara is simply incredible! I know anybody who listens to Nara can't rest until he/she listens to it again!

  • Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful
    author: Lauren

    Wonderful CD... it has a little bit of everything. Nara will always hold a special place in my heart, but the other tracks are finding their own places. This is a great CD to study to, and it's especially fun to walk around with it on a portable CD player-- it feels like your own soundtrack to life.

  • Overall worth buying
    author: Matthias

    I love hearing film soundtracks. All in all it's hard to find good dramatic tracks, though. This CD contains at least two very good one (Tikal, Pompeii). And that's more than most soundtracks provide. I'll definitely check out the next E.S.Posthumus CD!

  • Best... album... ever...
    author: Peter

    May I start by saying that this cd is the only one to get transfered to my computer using apple lossless as it really deserves the quality. CD baby is the only place to get this album from Europe having extensively searched the web and the price is very cheap, being a good 4 or 5 dollars less than most cd's back here (including p+p!). I urge you to get it. It shall not dissapoint.

  • It´s a gorgeous score. You´ll get goose bumbs. Hear it!!!
    author: Dominique Pelzhause

    I watched Cold case, too! After the show I had to find the musicians who wrote this masterpiece of music. I finally found it at Cdbaby.com. I´ve ordered it and I´m absoluteliy happy with the CD. It´s great music, very experimental but still classic. It´ll blow your mind! Check it out dude! A cinematic superscore...

  • Nara (Cold Case)...very haunting...
    author: RBM

    Nara (Cold Case)...very haunting...I couldn't get the song out of my head when I would watch the show, searched the internet, found it, had to have it. All of the songs are fabulous, mesmerizing, I listen to it every day. I tend to favor hard rock/heavy metal, but this CD is a must-have for everyone. This is really great mood music to listen to.

  • Well worth the money
    author: Lisa Adler-Golden

    If you're fond of epic, soundtrack-without-a-movie music, this cd should go on your list.

  • Musical Mana
    author: Trader JB

    Sweet mother of god, what can I say about this CD? Listening to this disc was the equivelant of watching one of those classic movies you will talk about for the rest of your life. Each tune, bringing my imagination to life. Elba, the sixth song on the CD, and my favorite, braught ideas of intrigue in places like the Vatican durring the Papal States, damn that would make a good story, wouldn't it? Well, I guess that says it all, if a song can inspire something in you, it has done a good job.

    Bought the CD for the theme song from Cold Case, Nara. There are a few other tracks that I like also. Some of the songs are a little too dramatic. I'm glad I bought the CD.

  • One Word: Nara
    author: Just Me

    I am going to buy the CD just because I want to have the track Nara to switch on whenever I would like... Surely that tells you about how great that track is. Buying a whole album just to get my hands on the one track... the CD in general seems pretty good, too, so it will be nice to see what else is on it. =) Thank you God for Nara. And the vanity fair trailer. I would never have heard Nara if I hadnt seen the trailer for the film Vanity Fair in the first place.

    First heard "Pompeii" from friend and loved it at once. Hunted down a few other tracks, fell in love with those and bought the album. Absolutely magnificent. Pompeii's still my favorite, but Ulaid and Antissa are also very enjoyable. Highly recommend it.

  • Amazing music!

    Unearthed is a fantastic disc of Posthumus. It's amazing music, especially when you turn your volume a bit louder. The choir is wonderful, the melody and climax in each single number is just great.

  • Nara, brilliant intro to a briliant album
    author: Rashid Saini

    Like others, I purchased this after hearing "Nara", which was as background music to movie the trailers, Unfaithful, The Clearing and Vanity Fair. It has suuuch a build up, like a lot of the album's tracks. Brilliant, mesmerising; classical work mixed with world, with that little extra to move you. But this!

  • AWESOME!

  • Absolutely fabulous!
    author: Christine

    What a wonderful CD! Like many people I stumbled across it, when looking for a particular track which turned out to be "Nara". I'm so glad I ordered the CD right away, because all the other tracks on the album are just as moving! This is a CD for all purposes and I play it while driving, working and...well...ironing as well. ;-)

    "Unearthed" has a great collection of instrumental, electronica, opera, and rock. If you like soundtrack scores, you positively need this CD. It was well worth every penny and the CD is great for studying, driving, walking, or just lounging. GET THIS ALBUM.

  • Simply spectacular!
    author: Gamma Ray

    Simply put, this music is spectacular! I heard a single track from a friend, and decided that I just HAD to have the CD. It's worth every cent -- the music is stunning, moving, and remarkable -- so pick it up already!

  • Awesome piece of work
    author: Nautilu

    This CD is wonderful. One of the best in my collection.

  • Beautiful
    author: Julia

    This music gives a beautiful atmosphere. I'm so happy to have found it.

  • The swiss Knife for all Editors
    author: Ruediger C

    I was looking all over the web to get this CD. Now finally it is in my hands and in my CD Player. I would recommend it to all Editors. This music is just so cinematic -so excellent for movies that it is no wonder you can hear it on a lot of promos and Trailers. Triple AAA!!!

  • Wonderful! Can't wait for next CD from this artist.
    author: Crazy Deb

    AWESOME CD. The music on it ranges from haunting, thought provoking and inspirational, to music you'd play going into battle. The music takes you to different places and experiences. It just makes me want more!

  • Wonderfully Dramatic
    author: Molly

    Tremendous album. Wonderfully dramatic. I listen to it while I'm on the subway and it turns all the images outside into a living melodrama. Very enjoyable.

  • Make another!!
    author: spartan117

    Couldn't be more pleased. The only problem was the price, little steep, but still worth it. Please make another album!! Wonderful CD.

  • Fantastic CD! A must have!
    author: John

    After hearing the first several tracks, it was already decided that I had to own this CD. Lots of variety, always very unique, and very, very impressive!

  • This CD Rocks!
    author: Mary Bentley

    I ordered this CD for the song, Nara. After recieving it I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite...it delivers on all !!!

  • Dandy
    author: Michael Johnson

    This was just dandy, perfect rather. The music just clicked for me, being reminiscent of Dead Can Dance or Yoko Kanno. Even the cover art from Caravaggio to Mr. Barnbrook's Emigre licensed typeface of Exocet Light beckoned to my desires like some nefarious and cunning siren. I recommend this Compact Disc to all! Make merry and enjoy! Huzzah!

  • Love this CD!
    author: clare

    I bought CD for the song Nara but love the whole CD. Different sound!!

  • Amazing.
    author: Joe

    This cd is amazing and so is this website, keep up the great work.

  • Great CD I love the long version of Nara (theme song to Cold Case)
    author: Sandra

    Love to listen to Cd, especially while exercising, good beat for work out

  • I'm impressed!
    author: Rebecca

    Our son was pushing me into getting it for him for Christmas, but after listening to the songs and reading the MANY reviews, I was sold.

  • Great CD, Great Service :)
    author: Francis Ingels

    This CD contains music featured on numerous movie trailers (Spiderman, Vanity Fair, etc) and is terrific throughout. Definitely a must if you, like me, tried buying some of these soundtracks only to find the trailer music missing :)

  • Original, evocative, & better with each listen.
    author: Diane

    I stumbled upon this CD half by accident. My musical tastes are eclectic, so I didn't come by it through an allegiance to any genre. It's really beautiful. The music is evocative, smart and original. CD Baby was pleasant to deal with, too.

  • LOVE IT!!
    author: Julie

    All of the songs are good, but I especially like Nara!!

  • The CD was fabulous. Gives me chills.
    author: Pam Ensign

    I was very pleased with the quick service I received. The CD came very quickly and I am very pleased with the quality.

  • Theatrical Spectacle
    author: Jason

    The best and most varied classical crossover music I have ever heard in one album. As one friend said, it puts you in another place. A perfect blend of moving classical melodies punctuated by rugged rock/techno rythms, this album scores a perfect ten. As you've probably already read, you won't be disappointed with this album.

  • ooooh!!! Play it again!!!
    author: Ms. Karen

    The first time I played it, I knew it was love! The second time I played it, I knew I was hooked forever. Superhero music, combined with the wistful tunes that harken of Ireland and worlds of mystery make this CD one that will be listened to even after every note has been memorized. Unlike background music that blends in and disappears, Unearthed manages to linger near the surface to whisper stories of mighty deeds and amazing adventures. The softer songs don't sink the feeling, but give the mind a soothing break before once again dashing off to save the world. Thanks for a wonderful time!

  • It's all been said before, but...
    author: Amy

    This cd was purchased on a whim, after listening to the mp3 clips. It's the best why-not? decision I've ever made. I could sit and listen to this music on my headphones for hours, and I'm trying to get my friends to do the same. It's hard to choose any favorites, but I guess I'd say Antissa, Ebla, Nineveh, and Pompeii. You NEED to listen to this music.

  • Absolutely Spritual
    author: Darryl Jouett

    E.S. Posthumus has grabbed hold of a new fan! This CD was tremendous. I have listened to it again and again and it never gets old! The music takes you and keeps you through the end! This one is a definite must have; I cannot wait until they release another one!

  • A terrific CD...
    author: Sheena B.

    I know most reviews of this CD are about the song Nara, and this one is no exception: I had that song in my head for weeks and could never place it. After finding the CD, I'm happy to report that now every song on the CD is in my head (but now, that's a good thing).

  • Totally Unique!!
    author: Jude Voiles

    Absolutely oustanding CD. Superb tracks throught. Initially looked up further music by E.S Posthumus after having heard Pompeii from the trailer to the first Spiderman movie. Not one track on the CD has disappointed me. I'll be looking out for more from these guys!

  • Excellent!
    author: Fay Atkins

    The first time I heard Nara while I was in the movie theater watching a preview for the movie Unfaithful, I could not beleive how amazing this song was. I was dying to know who had done this amazing spine chilling song that just evokes such power. Later I heard it again in the preview for Antwone Fisher and searched frantically online for it, Finally, I found a website that told me the name of the song that was played in those two movie previews. The Whole CD is just amazing, I would highly recommend it.

  • Fantastic!
    author: John Kvasnicka

    Thank GOD for CDbaby! It was the first site I found that carried Unearthed! It has to be one of my favorite albums and I have quite a collection! Even brief segments of each piece is mesmerizing and addictive. Its use on movie trailers and TV shows as well as the plethora of fantastic reviews on this site alone is ample proof of the fact. Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

  • Greatness
    author: Andrew Denny

    One of the indications of greatness is the ability to ascend above and outside the renowned thinking of a discipline to create something new that carries an equal amount of resonance. This CD does it. While Posthumus certainly isn't the first artist to mix computer techno with classical, the choral addition and fusion of classical and operatic music that they present is the best I have heard. Bravo!

  • Perfect for whatever you're looking for!
    author: Rose

    Where has this type of music been? This CD is pefrect for whatever you're looking for. Between fast pace beats to soothing strings, these tracks are fantasic. Perfect for anyone!

  • Just what I was looking for
    author: sunset823

    I first discovered this CD after hearing Nara on the Vanity Fair trailer, and this is just the kind of music I have been searching for, and never really found anywhere else. Dark, mysterious, and enchanting. My favorites: Ebla and Estremoz.

  • FANTABULOUS!!!
    author: Ashley

    This cd is so amazing. I was blown away by the evocation of emotion this cd induced. It is simply perfect.

  • just Great!
    author: Niju

    The CD is excellent! Although i only purchased it for the Songs Nara and Pompeji at first, I have to say I love the whole CD^^

  • Awesome, powerful, moody
    author: Lynne, WA

    This music could easily appear in any moody, dark movie aiming for dramatic effect. Very powerful. Some of the choral movements remind me of Mozart's 'Requim,' yet then can instantly change into 'Omen' gothic. Buy this CD, you will groove on it!

  • Elite, fantastic :D
    author: Avalon

    This is just the best album I have ever heard. Fantastic. Keep up the good work mates. Gimme some more !!!! And now go back to work finish off your next elite album ;)

  • Speechless...
    author: Lynn

    I wish they had more cds! This cd is so inspirational; I listen to it when I want to be creative, or cheer up, and any time in between. I highly recommend this cd to anybody who appreciates solid emotion captured within music. All of the tracks are moving, but my favourite is Cuzco.

  • Great stuff!
    author: Mike B

    I found this one thanks to a passing remark by someone, and boy am I glad I did! Gorgeous music; it surprised me how much of it was stuff I'd heard previously and loved but never knew who did it. Anyway, if you're reading this, I hope you'll scroll up and click Buy, it's worth it!

  • Excellent
    author: Suomi

    Not that I need to add anything that has not already been said, but if you like trailer music, than this CD is a must since it is terrific.

  • Haunting and Beautiful
    author: Susan

    I searched for this CD after I heard a snippet of Nara elsewhere. Although this is currently my favourite track on the CD I was very impressed by every song. All the music is beautiful!

  • HOLY CRAP! EXCELLENT CD!
    author: Ted Hong

    The title of this review pretty much tells all. However, If I were to be more elaborate, I'd say this CD helps me process information within my head and inspires me with many great ideas for screenwriting. The best time for me to listen this is at night, when it's more easy to produce ideas. The greatest song in my opinion is Pompeii. Second would be Nineveh. Love how the track titles are named after cities or some type of community. I really hope another album will come out soon. It's been 3 years... come out soon! Once again: HOLY CRAP! EXCELLENT CD! Yep yep. Shazam, whabam, and havam!

  • The Best of the Best!!!
    author: Ben Deez

    This CD simply is the best music that i have heard in a long time. Utterly breath-taking and refreshing music. This is a must have in all music-head collections. Do yourself a favor and oick this one up.

  • Beautiful
    author: A.E.

    I was watching a trailer for Vanity Fair, and near the end of it, I heard Nara, and I kept thinking I recognized it. Then I remembered it from Cold Case, I watch it a lot. I still love that song, and all of them. The group is really unique.I've never heard anything like this. Love it.

  • Magnificent
    author: Rabia

    Elegant composition of electronic and classical mix! My first exposure to snippets of this music was in movie trailers and I realized I had to get the album. I hope more of such music is produced by E.S. Posthumus.

  • Great Music
    author: cse

    This is a fantastic CD. It is music to write by. I love how each piece is different from the next and yet they all flow together in one large piece. It could easily be the soundtrack to whatever I'm writing about.

  • Music evokes powerful emotions....
    author: Pam L.

    Someone in La La land really likes this music considering how tracks are getting played with movie trailers, tv shows etc. And there is an obvious reason; the music evokes powerful emotions. Take a listen, you will not be dissapointed.

  • A rich tapestry of sounds and feeling...
    author: Donna

    I, like many of others who have posted reviews, purchased this CD for "Nara", which I had heard as a fan of Cold Case and also in trailers for the new movie "Vanity Fair." Though it is still my favorite song, each and every one of the songs on this CD has something special about it. It's a CD that my 9 year old son enjoys listening to as well!

  • Rare Beauty!
    author: Dawn, AZ

    This cd is phenominal! In a world of manufactured music, this is a rare gift as well as a breath of fresh air. I consider myself very lucky to have found this cd, and strongly encourage everyone to bring this timeless album into your hearts and homes.

  • exhilirating music!
    author: Ralph from Philly

    This CD is awsome! From the beginning to the end, "Unearthed" makes you feel grand! This will be on my play list for a long time to come.

  • Excellent CD
    author: Will

    I bought this CD on a whim, and I am definitely glad that I did. The whole CD flows very well, and is full of rich and dark music. I highly recommend this CD, especially to anyone who enjoys instrumental movie soundtracks, since several of these tracks appear in multiple movie trailers.

  • ammmaaazzzingg
    author: luxx

    this cd was great i especially LOVE nara honestly i cant/wont stop playing this cd it is truly fantastic

  • Had to have it after hearing 4 bars of music!
    author: Bobbi Prussey

    One of my dearest friends and I were traveling in her car when she popped in this CD. She had tracked it down after hearing the theme from cold case. I had to have this CD after hearing only 4 bars of it! After I received it I loved it even more It is very moving!!!

  • Amazing Music...
    author: Staci, NJ

    I first heard "Nara" on the theatrical trailer for the movie "Vanity Fair" and I just thought that the music was great. I looked up the trailer and found the name of the artist and ended up talking my mom into letting me order the CD. This is the moody type of music I have been looking for for the longest time. This CD has been in constant rotation in my Walkman since the day I got it! I can't wait for more music by E.S. Posthumus! I recommend this "soundtrack without a movie" to anyone who likes moody, dark, "gothic" type music.

  • more than we expected, every song is good listening........
    author: David and Patti

    it is often the situation that we would buy a CD for a single song, and maybe find an additional one or two that we liked. In this case the entire content is enjoyable enough to listen to often. We travel quite a bit and this CD is perfect for that.

  • Good - but the FLOYDHEAD cd is even better!!!!!!!
    author: eFan

    A great CD, and if you really dig it, you need to check out the Floydian Propulsion Project by Floydhead (Pink Floyd Remix) CD !!! Keep it E!

  • Beautifully Complex
    author: CHINASKI (www.cdbaby.com/cd/chinaski)

    On "Unearthed", E.S. Posthumus has delivered a pallette of musical variety that provides the listener with food for the soul. At times, these beatifully complex compositions can bring emotions to the surface that will leave you speechless. HIGHLY recommended.

  • Lush and beautiful!
    author: Sarah Smith

    I bought this CD after looking for more information about the composer of the theme song for Cold Case. While I was mildly disappointed that the female vocals were missing from the original recording of Nara (I liked the way the Bulgarian-sounding female voice sounded with the classical orchestration), the CD is undeniably a complete treasure. I am very keen to hear more from these artists, and hope there will be more forthcoming soon! Also, there are simply boodles of people looking for this CD on amazon.com, cdbaby is to be applauded for distributing it, otherwise we would all be bereft.

  • beautiful .. mezmerizing ..
    author: George

    Like most, I wanted this CD after first hearing Nara in the Unfaithful movie trailer. However, the CD itself (not just Nara) is simply amazing and brilliant!

  • author: Elaine

    I hunted this CD down after hearing a snippet of Nara on HBO's Sunday Night Lineup promo, then Cold Case Files. Powerful music, strikes something inside your soul. So glad I found it!!

  • Sugoi!
    author: EdNa

    Classical meets modern has never sounded so beautiful together as in the songs in this CD. I'm particularly fond of Ulaid, Ebla and Nara, but it is Pompeii that has carved a niche for me. Powerful and haunting, I really don't mind that it keeps playing over and over in my head. Just want to leave a note to the artist (and to CDBaby)...thank you for your great work, and sharing your talent with all of us.

  • Breathtaking... literally
    author: Sarah

    The first time I heard Nara (as the theme for Cold Case) I literally stopped breathing. A quick online search resulted in ordering Unearthed from CD Baby and I was *not* disappointed. These are haunting, breathtaking, powerful tracks and I'd highly recommend the CD to to anyone who's wondering if the whole thing is really as good as the bits and pieces they might have heard on TV or movie soundtracks. I'll definitely be watching for more from ES Posthumus.

  • Great CD
    author: Raquel

    This CD is great! I am into making short movies/trailers and I find that this music is great for that! It is awesome inspirtational music for when I write and draw also. The songs on this CD are definately something new and extraordinary that should not be left out. ^_^

  • Interesting
    author: Mark

    On the whole, I found this CD to be worth listening. I was already familiar with "Nara" through watching the excellent show "Cold Case" on CBS, but, for me, the best piece was the lovely, wistful "Ulaid", which was running through my mind for days after I first heard it. The other pieces, while good, tended to be rather samey. So, three stars - and a mental note to look out for more work from this artist.

  • Very energetic and intense music
    author: crystal

    The style of music used in Unearthed is very mixed. The songs call for strings AND electronic sounds, the tunes are classic yet modern. I love how each song evolves in itself. The overall cd is an emotional roller coster, my favorite tracks specifically are 6-9. Everything is brilliant, very very good music.

  • I NEED MORE :D
    author: Gerwin

    More E.S. Posthumus More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More More :P

  • Thrilling music
    author: Justinn

    I love choral compositions, and after downloading a Hellsing music video featuring Pompeii, I knew I was in love. The whole album resonates with well-thought instruments and an engaging chorus over it. The fast songs are brilliantly paced, and the slower songs have the depth to keep me from getting bored. I've since purchased two more copies of the album to give as gifts to friends.

  • Perfect! Puts you inside of a movie
    author: Rich

    Unearthed is perfect. Definately something for everyone. This is the kind of music that I can use in an auditorium or convention before an audio visual presentation. Imagine a full length album similar to the intro for the NFL on CBS. E S Posthumus wrote that!

  • Has not left my CD player since I got it
    author: Mare

    I absolutely love this CD. And I am not the only one. The movie industry does too. Tracks from _Unearthed_ have been used in many recent movies: _The Matrix Reloaded_, _Minority Report_, _Daredevil_, _Planet of the Apes_, _The Recruit_, _Tombraider, Cradle of Life_, _Unfaithful_, _Spiderman_, Hellsing_, and a few more. I play it at home, in my car, and at work. At my very boring job, it keeps me entertained. There are tracks that rev me up and calm me down. A good mix of different types of music. If you like classical music, opera, celtic, techno, or movie soundtracks, you'll totally dig this CD. Pop it in your computer at work and the day will just fly by.

  • you will recognise the music...
    author: yo

    Ever saw a movie trailer/tv intro, advert and thought hey I've heard this music before? Well Unearthed contains plenty of such scores. The most obvious ones being Pompeii (Spiderman), Nara (Cold Case),Tikal (King Arthur and others). You will probably recognise some others from e.g. car adverts as well. If you like new age mixed with classic, techno and more than a pinch of opera you will like this. Sounds weird? If you are willing to give it a try you will be more than pleasantly surprised by the blend of music.

  • Pure Genius!
    author: Anna -

    Very nice. I heard "Nara" on a preview and I was immediate hooked with the sound. I decided to get the entire album and I was very satisfied with it. I love all the music! Well worth it, pure genius!

  • Incredible CD
    author: Katen

    Like many others I ordered this CD immediately after hearing Nara on Cold Case. Not only is Nara beautiful, but the other songs are as well. I highly recommend this CD.

  • Wow, this is amazing
    author: Sharkface217

    This album is incredible. Music has never been this "pure."

  • There are no words I can say to explain how good this album is!!!
    author: Donald

    My huge obsession with Posthumus's music came from the song I first heard called "Nara" from the, you guessed it, Unfaithful trailer. After that, I listened to the trailer over and over because of that song. Later, I found out on the Internet, the artist was: E. S. Posthumus. Wonderful songs, gotta buy CD (me too!). Highly recommended songs!!!!!

  • + a must have for any cd collection
    author: roseann uk

    heard antissa and isfahan through a web site and fell in love with the music. After a long search found it here I've never so eagerly awaited the delivery of a cd. when's the next one?

  • author: Kate

    I first heard Tikal on a Hellsing trailer and I fell in love with it! Thankfully the website that I found the trailer on had the artist! I looked everywhere to try to find the song and I couldn't! I found a re-mix of Tikal, but that wasn't good enough! I also heard Pompeii on another Hellsing trailer. Simply downloading a song isn't good enough. I had to get the CD. It's great for traveling in a car, chillin out, running, walking, basically anything! This is one of my most prized CD's, and trust me, I have a LOT of CD's!

  • Awesome!
    author: maniac

    Unbelievable music, it's just about impossible to explain without someone hearing it. I don't think there is a single song on this album that doesn't give me chills, and set the creative juices flowing. This is a great CD to listen to while driving, or doing basically anything. Defininatly a recommended buy!

  • Overall Very Good CD
    author: FaithS.

    I got this cd because it had a song from one of the Spiderman 2 Trailers. Most of the songs on the CD are great. Definitely worth the time and money it cost to find and purchase the cd.It is great for people who love good movie scores

  • Nara is a great way to pull people into a fabulous album!
    author: Lindy

    The CD is great. I heard Nara on the Unfaithful trailer, the Vanity Fair trailer (Shout out to Reese Witherspoon) and the intro to Cold Case the series. The whole album rocks. I'm very happy with my purchase and I don't normally spend more than $10 for a CD, but this was one of the only places to find it, and the price was worth it. I can't say anymore that anyone else in this review hasn't already said. Props to CD Baby and E.S. Posthumus for supplying such great music in Unearthed.

  • Been looking for this CD for a while now
    author: John Douglas

    Being a big soundtrack collector, I am frequently asked by friends "what was the music in this or that movie trailer?". I can generally recognize the music, but when I caught the incredible teaser trailer for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the first "Spider-Man" movies, I was vexed by the hypnotic but unrecognizable tunes. After a little research, I found out that the music was not from a movie, but rather this cool CD from a group by the name of E.S. Posthumus. I knew right away I had to have it. After finding out that my local music store did not have it in stock, I set out to find it online. I found it at CD BABY and ordered it immediately. I could not have been happier with this latest "favorite" to add to my collection. If you're like me, you will be playing this entire CD on a repeating loop in your car and at home. It really is that good!

  • Beautiful - Need I say more?
    author: Kirsten Mullany

    First heard Nara on the shorts for the TV programme Cold Case. CD is impressive. Thrashed it all the way from Wellington to Hawkes Bay (3.5 hours). Absolutely perfect.

  • Great CD! Get it now!
    author: Adam G.

    I knew when I ordered it - and thank God, I'm not disappointed - this CD is great. Every song extremely well orchestrated and has a different style/mood. I love his type of cinematic sound, as well. I suggest getting it!

  • Haven't taken this out of my player since it arrived.
    author: Andrea

    Like everyone else and their little yellow dog, I loved the song from the "Unfaithful" trailer and just had to have it. As it turns out, I love the entire cd, not just that song ("Nara"). I popped the cd in the player in my car the day it arrived, a week ago, and it hasn't come out since. I think I've finally found true love.... too bad my boyfriend is the jealous type. Ah well!

  • Awesome!
    author: Aaron

    The songs in this CD are amazing. It's sort of a blend of everything. Great for whatever mood your in. Keep up the songs guys!!! More! ^_^.

  • best cd ever

  • Fantastico!
    author: Me

    Unearthed is one of my favorite CDs! I first heard it on a soundtrack radio website (some of the music has been featured in movie trailers) and was instantly hooked. Moods vary from driving and intense to mellow and everything in between. The music has great depth and texture and is a pleasure to the ear.

    author: Luanne

    I can honestly say, this is one of the best CD's I have ever listened to. It's mind soothing, meditating and beautiful. I wish I could find more like it.

  • I was looking for this cd for a while, but it was worth the effort. It is an ama

    Unearthed is an amazing cd that is classical music with a twist. I would defiantly recommend this cd to a friend and it's worth every penny.

  • A truly original work of pure Genius!
    author: Jonathan Christopher

    This is unlke anything out in the music field today. It is magnificent and inspiring in every sense of the word. E.S. Posthumus is surely the next big thing for cinematic sound across the world. I recomend this album to everyone because it is truly one of the greatest albums ever created.

  • Awesome in a way I never thought possible!
    author: Kristin

    I fell completely in love with Nara when I first heard it for the Unfaithful movie trailer. I listened to it about a million times on the computer. I tried to find it everywhere in Houston, but turned up with nothing. Thank goodness I found it online. The music helps me with whatever mood I'm in. Good job guys, keep up the good work. Much love and appreciation, Kristin

  • Totally refreshing and powerful!!
    author: Felicia

    This CD is something to listen to any time of the day for any mood. I love it! Thanks!

  • What else to say...
    author: MJ

    ...Everything seems to have been said before. I really enjoyed this record. It reminds me Enigma, but without the voice of Michal Cretu which was really painfull for my ears. I'm looking forward for the next record, I hope they'll keep on this excellent track.

  • wonderfully soothing music to chill to.
    author: aquadisia

    tracks are all beautiful and moving. dark, gothic-type music. fell in love with the cd instantly.

  • Magnificent!
    author: Devon

    This CD is one of the greatest I've ever listened to. All the peices are moving in some way - from driving and warlike, to soft and sad, to triumphant and royal. I had already heard Ebla, Menouthis and Pompeii in some movie trailers, as well as Tikal and Nara - and this CD was worth the search and the buy! I can't choose which is my fabouvite, they're all so wonderful!! If you've heard one of the songs, you have to hear them all!

  • A-freakin-mazing
    author: Travis

    Man, this cd truly is in my top 5 cd's of all time. It's such an inspiring album. I listened to it over and over and all these ideas came into my head. I created a short movie while listening to it. Inspiration? You bet.

    Great CD, with my favorite tracks being 6 and 7. I heard Nara in a preview for The Clearing and decided I must have that track. Originally I downloaded just that track, but I had to have the whole cd. Now that I have the cd, I listen to it every day on my way to work. Buy it!

  • Great music to listen to any time.
    author: Randy D.

    Congratulations on being picked up for a movie trailer and possibly part of the soundtrack of the upcoming movie Vanity Fair.

  • Good, nice, great, cool, it rocks, oh yeah!..........did I say it's great?
    author: Hendro Kiantoro

    The reason I bought this CD was because there are many movie scores like Pompeii of Spider-Man 2. I love movie scores and this CD completely rocks. Way to go Posthumus!

  • I should be working, but I can't stop listening
    author: Angela H

    WOW! What a mix of sensual, exciting, and beautiful sounds. And I'm only listening to the samples on-line, I can't wait to get the CD.

  • Everthing is GREAT!
    author: Juanita Nesbitt

    I bought this CD mainly because I heard Nara on CBS' Cold Case and fell in love with that track. I did a search and found E. S. Posthumus had it on an album called "Unearthed". I tried two major websites and neither one had it. I contacted the E. S. Posthumus by email and was told that CDbaby had it. I immediately went to their web site and purchased it. All the tracks are just fantastic! The combination of electronica, world music, and orchestral is just amazing. I highly recommend this album!

  • author: Angela

    Great CD, especially if you like music that creates a definitive mood. Each track is brilliant, a sort of epic choral piece with ethnic and techno beats.

  • Amazing and powerful!!
    author: Allo Jello

    What else can I say? This album contains some of the most beautiful, powerful, and amazing music ever! I can't wait until they come out with more! I love this album!!

  • One of the best CD's ever.
    author: Donna

    This is one of the best CD'd I have bought in a long time. I have recommended it to family and friends. My favorite tracks are: 1, 6, and 7. This is such beautiful music and it is very relaxing.

  • Complex music that's simply great
    author: Roland X

    Mix classical, techno, and something between blues and rock, in a way completely different from the classic-techno-rock of Rush or Styx, then do something...magical is the only word that comes to mind...with it. Blend until smoother than liquid milk chocolate. You now have Unearthed, the soundtrack-without-a-movie by E.S. Posthumus. You'll probably recognize a little of it from early trailers for the first Spider-Man movie, but moods range from pulse-pounding chase beats to melancholy meditations to songs that seem written for happy endings. Simply great music.

  • If the remarks below don't move you to buy it - nothing I say will.
    author: Kelly - Philadelphia, PA

    07/01/2004 - Absolutely fabulous. Bought it for Nara (soundtrack to "Cold Case Files") and can't stop listening to it. I LOVE every single track.

    What a great CD, I listen to it at least once a day on my drive home. I have recommended the CD to many friends. They are not burning this copy anytime soon!

  • Hidden top performer
    author: Markus Hübner / Daniela Lindenthaler

    This CD is a hidden secret - full of very emotional and fascinating songs. They will inspire and capable of providing a "momentum" for you - defenitely worth to buy

  • nice!
    author: etoile1179

    IT was pretty good. Very original. First enticed by the movie trailers and was amazed to find out the CD had trailer music from Spiderman as well as unfaithful. A must have!

  • Incredible music.
    author: Rebecca

    I have never heard music like this, except in the movies. Already I find myself listening more closely to the music in the movies I watch. I would not have found this CD if my son had not shown me the preview site. I listened to the clips from each of the songs over and over every night for a week. I knew I had to have the full version.

  • Its a beautifully composed CD with an amazing sound
    author: Amanda D'Andrea

    This CD was exceptionally delightful. The music is absolutly stunning and the mixture of classical and modern sounds is ingenious. My favorite song is Pompeii. I can't wait until the next CD comes out!

  • Timeless!!!
    author: Amy

    I originally bought this CD for the song Nara after hearing it in the Unfaithful trailer, but I love the whole CD. My other favorite is Ulaid. I would highly recommend this CD!

  • author: Rachael

    This CD is so empowering. I first heard Antissa and Nara in an Anime music video and loved it. I had to have this CD. It is so beautiful and enchanting. This is a must have CD. I can't stop listening to it.

  • Dramatic...Haunting...Amazing!!
    author: Anita

    I absolutely treasure this cd! The mix of electronic, world and classical beats is seamless and I'm hard pressed to think of anything that compares to it! A real "must have"!!

  • The most powerful music I have ever heard.
    author: Gazza

    Where have I been to have not heard this disk before. Have just driven 2,000 kms and couldn't stop listening to it. The composition and structure is of master classical proportions. Can not wait for the next disk.

  • Powerful music
    author: Bill Devine

    How many times have you first heard a song or music and just fell in love with it. For me the cut Nara is one of those gems. This a one of those great albums you must have.

  • author: Wade

    Excellent music! The awe inspiring sounds of genius. It will make your mind think on levels you never thought possible. I had first heard the music on Different movie previews. I was astounded as to how wonderful it was. I knew that I had to have this music in my collection. I had first found out about E. S. Posthumus from a friend of mine. Her favorite song by them is Ebla. Once she played it for me, I knew this was the band that had done those musical scores enjoyed. So, I searched the net for their CD. Found this wonderful website, and bought their CD! It's the perfect CD for people who love to write poetry or stories. It will jump start your creative process.

  • Loved the CD
    author: Jamie

    I really loved this CD. I heard some of the tracks on the internet, then I bought the CD and loved the whole thing. The music is very good. I especially loved Antissa, Ulaid and Pompeii, though the rest were also very good.

  • Whoa
    author: R. Yates

    I purchased this CD worried that Pompeii would be the only song that I liked, having fallen in love with it after seeing the trailer for Spiderman a couple of years ago. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised when I wound up adoring each and every track. I never would have believed choral vocals, synthesizers, guitars, samples and a mini-orchestra would work, but each song has its own distinct 'flavor' and makes for a sonic journey like no other I have experienced. Highly recommended...

  • Excellent
    author: Jason

    Very cool -- every track sounds like a movie or a trailer. Nice atmospheric music that doesn't put you to sleep.

  • Took too long to find - should be distributed better.
    author: Yumbo - IMDVD

    I first heard NARA trailered on ANTWONE FISHER, then again on UNFAITHFUL, then recently THE CLEARING - I said this has got to be available SOMEWHERE. I also heard Pompeii on the SPIDER-MAN trailer. Being a trailer music freak since the 90s (when Roll Tide was #1), I had resigned myself to saying this was just commissioned trailer music = unavailable, like RED ALERT. It's a pity when an artist cannot be appreciated on CD when no one knows where and how to get it. I suggest adding ALL your catalog onto Apple's iTunes Music Store. It's got me buying music again in this DVD world. I'm in Suva, FIJI! Was very patient in waiting to receive it, smiles!

  • author: M. Trebatoski

    After I heard the selection Nara on the tv show Cold Case, I knew I had to have this cd. I searched for it in all the local music shops and I finally found it through CD Baby. I love the variety of the selections. I've been telling all my friends about the group. Looking forward to the next album. The service from CD Baby was great too.

  • author: B chambers

    These guys have got to be in the next big movie! Most excellent!!!!

  • Excellent CD
    author: J.Cardoza

    Excellent CD. A joy to listen to. Buy this and you won't be disapointed. Very original and different.

  • Dangerous Music to Drive By. GREAT!
    author: John Fox

    First heard this as a temp track while my son was editing a movie. Couldn't steal it off him so I just had to buy! Pompeii is still my favourite as he used it to good effect as trailer music. MORE PLEASE!

  • WOW!CD baby ROCKS! Classically, that is. And so does E.S. Posthumus!
    author: Kim

    So many different sounds, and so many cultures represented through sound. The one song I bought this CD for was the Nara. I had been looking for the theme song HBO played in their 2002 Winter Promo commercial, and the same song that was played on the DVD trailer for the movie -Unfaithful. THE NARA was IT! Thank You!

  • Simply Amazing
    author: david

    I've been looking around for music exactly like this. After hearing a track on the original Matrix soundtrack called Clubbed to Death (Kuryamino Variation) by Rob DouganI went out and got Rob Dougan's CD. It was very good but got fairly repetative after a while. I recently stumbled upon ES Posthumus and it is like Rob Dougan on steroids or something. I garantee anyone with any musical sense will love this entire CD. Its Simply AMAZING!!!

  • Beautifuly Evocative! Fast & Nice Delivery!
    author: César Luna

    All the tracks on this cd are perfect! Especially POMPEII. It feels, to me, like if you were living in another century.

  • Fun CD. Fast Delivery!

    author: Diana

    I think the other reviews say it enough. This is a must have CD for anyone that has a CD player.

  • Absolutely my favorite!
    author: Elaine

    Bought it for "Nara" and found one of the greatest discoveries, ever! I play it constantly at work and everyone has become a fan of this CD. Can't wait for their next CD! Awesome creations!

  • Better than I thought!
    author: sinequanon78

    Cd arrived quickly to my door, was delieved in an easy to open letter format, and looked great! I liked the art and the music was just what I was looking for! spectacular and a must have if you like the samples!

  • author: Germán

    This is definetly the music for the century. With this awesome master piece we can understand why music has been so bad in the last decades: to let this one grew up in such a sacred way as it has. Excellent fusion of the best music from old and new world, the best of the best.

  • AWESOME!
    author: Cathy Upton

    I really loved the CD. I like the mixture and love to listen to it again and again.

  • Excellent CD, and service from CD Baby was just the BEST
    author: Vicki

    The CD was purchased for the track "Nara" -- but ALL the tracks are wonderful. CDBaby has great cutomer service along with a sense of humor. Please keep us posted on more CD's from this artist!

  • Tasteful and Moving
    author: Sarah Fimm

    These people have captured the music that life is supposed to be lived to, inside your own head. I am a big fan.

  • Warm, seductive music for all genres - defies classification
    author: Shari

    Unearthed is certain to appeal to those with appreciation for fine music across multiple genres. This CD contains classical, electronica and new age elements and provides appealing ambience for a variety of pleasant pursuits. An excellent buy - you won't be disappointed.

  • Best CD I've Ever Bought
    author: Chris Bywater

    I just bought and listened to Unearthed by E.S. Posthumus and I think it's one of the greatest CD's to be produced. I listen to various types of music and this one is going to be right up there with them, sure it wasn't that cheap however nothing this good could be.

  • Soundtracks....remember Oingo Boingo?
    author: Ricule aka RSP Studios

    I listen to all types of music. From grunge to classical. And, I have to say, it is those cross-over guys who push all the right buttons. Like Dan Elfman's moody soundtracks, I learned to appreciate the MOOD that music sets. And ESP is just that. Emotions written with orchestrated synths and live acoustics. If you are as much intrigued with the music you hear, as much as the story (X-Files anyone?), then this band is for you. 3 thumbs up!

  • Great vocals blended with moving instrumentals
    author: David Hohnholt

    This CD has a unique sound that delivers plenty of varying sounds that keeps the CD entertaining. It is worth a try if you are unfamiliar with the band as I was when I bought it.

  • EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! Love every cut. A must have CD!!!!!
    author: Claude

    First heard Nara on Unfaithful trailer and loved it. Searched the web for over a week then we found CD BABY and within 3 days we had the CD shaking the windows and goosebumps on our arms. We enjoy the entire CD. Wonderful music. Of sourse, Nara is the most repeated cut. Thank you.

  • Excellent!!!!
    author: Aleks

    I got the CD for Nara, which I heard at a dance workshop (as a waltz). I came to love most of the cuts on the CD, even though they turned out not to be dance music.

  • Wonderful CD
    author: Debbi

    The whole CD is really good with a nice variety of songs. The more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. I'll look for more of their work. Plus the CD came very quickly. Thanks CD Baby

  • It gave me goose bumps!
    author: ellen

    I love the entire cd! The song "Nara" will bring alive that animal part of you which KNOWS pure beauty when it hears it!

  • gave me goosebumps!
    author: Amanda

    i loveeee this cd. its the best instrumental cd out there! I play Nara over and over and over and over again. i try to listen to the whole cd but then i miss the song Nara so i play IT again. i heard their songs on movie trailers and it gave me major goosebumps! I just had to have this fabulous cd! Two thumbs way way up!!

  • Neat! The music was great - the "Cold Case" theme was the clincher!
    author: Carol C.

    This was a gift for my daughter - who loves the Cold Case tv show. The music is a great blend - just like I read about! Service was great, too.

  • Absolutely fabulous;great;different;keep producing!!

    I really love this cd, especially the song Nara. I play it in my truck all the time. It is very uplifting. I also love CD Baby, I got it much faster than when I ordered from Amazon, etc. Thanks

  • Excellent!
    author: D Wagner

    I was originally interested in one song,so after playing the entire CD I find that all selections on the disk are above my expectations! Thank you for the flawless music.

  • great CD, speedy delivery from CD Baby
    author: Beth

    I first heard the enchanting song "Nara" on a movie trailer commerical for the motion picture "Unfaithful." I loved it then but never looked into it. Then I heard the song again as the theme song on the T.V. show "Cold Case," and I just had to find out what it was. I searched the song online and found out about E.S. Posthumus, an artist I had never heard of. I ordered from CD Baby and got my CD within about 3 business days, much faster than I had gotten CD's from Amazon.com in the past. The CD is absolutely wonderful! As a fan of artists like Enya and of other classical types of music, the CD did not disappoint at all. The music ranges from very soft, soothing melodies with Celtic sounds to dramatic songs, and even some that have an African drum sound. This CD is so diverse, yet I love every song. I definitely recommend this CD.

  • author: maeve

    i thought that the one song that i had heard off of this cd was great, but nothing could prepare me for what the rest of it would be like. this is now definitely at the top of my favorites list. With vocals this haunting, and beats so complex and simple all at once, i don't know how anyone could pass it up.

  • unique music with strong rhythms
    author: E.S. Posthumus: Unearthed

    Unearthed has incredible beats and rhythms. Each song is unique in its own way. My particular favorite is Nara, which has various strong drum beats that coincide with soothing stringed instruments. Beautiful!

  • Emotional
    author: JB

    Found Nara in an Unfaitful-Trailer, wonderful songs, Antissa is the best.

  • Big music for that big moment
    author: Bluntinstrument.org.uk

    CDbaby does just right in giving you samples to hear. This music will either excite you or leave you totally cold, so check them out first. Pseudo-film music, some of it even used in the trailer to the first Spider-Man movie. It's grand, heart-on-sleeve, and good for the adrenelin rush (jogging music?), though some may not take to the booming electronic side of its creation.

  • Powerful, moving, dramatic, stirring the emotions.
    author: Jay

    The best in our library. We can't stop listening to it. The entire CD moves the body, mind, and spirit. Every composition communicates power, drama, and passion.

  • Bittersweet sound infuses your soul
    author: Vaiana

    First heard -the sound- in A Sopranos' promo, then an Unfaithful trailer, next the Cold Case theme, and finally The Clearing trailer. Googled Cold Case and found the name Nara and then E.S.Posthumus's -Unearthed-. Such beauty in this bittersweet sound that just...well...infuses your soul! Thank you CD Baby!

  • Great!!

    I first heard a cut from the CD on Cold Case. When I learned that it was available on CD I immediately ordered it. With few exceptions, this is one CD with which I am completely satified. I recommend it to everyone!

  • WONDERFUL CD TRULY A MUST HAVE

    UNBELIEVABLE CD, IT HAS A SEDUCTIVE ENERGY THAT TAKES YOU TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!! HONESTLY ONE OF THE BEST CDS IN MY COLLECTION.

  • Very moving, thought-provoking music.
    author: Alicia

    My husband and I heard the Nara song on a movie trailer. We liked it so much and went on a search for it. Nara makes me want to go out and watch a great, epic movie. Very intense, very enjoyable, very chilling. I like everything about the song. Really enjoyed the rest of the CD as well.

  • This was a birthday gift I'll always treasure
    author: Denise

    I heard the song Nara as the theme music for CBS's 'Cold Case' and fell in love with it immediately. My husband searched for it and bought it for my birthday. I have been listening to it in the car for a week straight and I'm loving it even more. If you turn up the volume, you hear even more interesting things going on under the main theme of the music. It's great!!!!

  • Mesmerizing Music

  • author: Joe Wilson

    I discovered this music after looking for some movie trailer music and getting some samples off the internet, but samples just don't do it justice. This cd will blow you away and give you chills as you listen to it.

  • wrote poem inspired by Nara

    love this cd - bought it for Nara but all the songs are wonderful. after listening through it about six times I set about writing a poem inspired by Nara. looking forward to more by this group.

  • Nice!!
    author: someguy

    Wow, i first heard ebla on the matrix reloaded japanese trailer, and i loved it, i thought i was going to buy it just for ebla until i heard all the samples im going to get the cd soon though, it sounds like all the songs are great! im really a big fan of techno and rock but this is great!!!

  • author: Chrissie

    My CD arrived and it is sooooo beautiful. I love every thing on it. I am so glad I got it from you.

  • MORE THAN EXPECTED
    author: David Perkins

    I bought Unearthed to own the mesmerizing theme from the TV series Cold Case. I'd have been satisfied with just that one composition. The entire CD is marvelous. If hauntingly hip, neo-classical, thought-inspiring instrumentals are your thing, you can't help but love it. Can't wait to crank up the volume in the Arizona wilderness.

  • Gorgeous music!!!
    author: Rexanne

    This cd is some of the very best music I've ever heard--intense and passionate, especially Nara which goes all the way through me--excellent!!!

  • UNBELIEVABLE MUSICIANSHIP-ORIGINAL SOUND-
    author: Jennifer

    I looked all over for this CD. Finally I found it on CD Baby. What an accomplishment. These guys are truly artists. Not one bad song on the album...not even one okay song. They're all works of art. E.S. Pothumus has created an entirely new genre, taking risks and carving out a unique sound, recognizable anwhere, that they can call their own. A real masterpiece!

  • Beautiful, haunting music...especially Nara. CD Baby is the best I've ever orde
    author: cindirella

    I love this CD .........extremely beautiful music and CD Baby is the greatest to order from. They are very concerned about your satisfaction.

  • Excellent "Soundtrack"!!
    author: EON from EagleRock

    This is a huge surprise! I found out about this album like most listeners, from an obsure reference. I ended doing a lot of searching and am very glad I did! I collect mostly soundtracks, and this album, while not an original "soundtrack", is wonderful, full of variation and great emotional moments. When will they be hired to write a real soundtrack? If not, I hope they are working on another album! You've got lots of fans!

  • Wonderful, Beautiful music!!

    This CD was everything I expected and more. I only wish that ES Posthumus made more CD's similiar to this one. I am very pleased with the CD

  • Best CD Ever!
    author: John Scullin

    I first heard their music being used in many movie trailers. I finally found out who they were through a movie trailer music forum on the web. I downloaded a few of their songs to make sure I like the album and I was hooked immediatly. I placed my order soon after. E.S. Posthumus has some of the most epic, creative & thought inspiring sounds I've ever heard. It's exactly what I like and I look forward to their next album.

  • Instantly addictive!
    author: John in Atlanta

    I bought this CD mainly because it has the hypnotic main theme from "Cold Case" on it, but the entire disk is one of the most instantly addictive recordings I've ever encountered. Otherworldly vocals cascade over propulsive rhythms and lush instrumentals in an intoxicating sonic environment that will melt away stress and anxiety in a nanosecond. Very, very highly recommended!

  • Whoa!
    author: Luke

    I bought this CD solely for Pompeii, but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Every track has something different to enjoy, which is a comment I rarely make about CDs that I buy. Absolutely excellent overall. 'Nara' is sublime.

  • Nara rocks and you know it!
    author: NDB

    An example of the best music ever composed on this earth. I would encourage ESP to put out some more music of the same high quality!

  • Wonderful! This has the Cold Case soundtrack and I love it.
    author: SusanS

    Wonderful! I spent hours on the Internet hunting for the Cold Case soundtrack and finally found it on this CD. Nara is a truly moving piece and I love listening to it over and over.

    I heard this song on the Sci Fi Channel and fell in love and it took me a while to find out who it was. It is the most beautiful, upbeat CD. I even hooked my husband and kids on it. I get goosebumps.

  • Absolutely breathtaking...orchestral meets New Age...Haunting!
    author: Jan
  • Great CD, mixes classical w/different genres.
    author: Fabrizio Spada

    If you look for the cool music played in the trailer of the movie "Unfaithful" and "The Sopranos", check out song#6: Nara. It's wonderful! The whole CD is also worth it, great music for cool and relaxed atmosphere.

  • This is the best CD I have bought in a long, long time.
    author: christine

    Beautiful music! I was looking for the music to the show Cold Case and found a CD full of great music. I haven't taken it out of my CD player since I got it!

  • Fantastic purchase. Great for any occassion
    author: Charlie

    This CD is for sure one best purchases I have made in music. It fits all emotions and tastes. This CD should be more open to the public and advertised.

  • Good listening well done all the though
    author: Ross Gregson

    I heard Nara about two years ago on the Unfaithfull preveiw. I dident realize that the rest of the album would so well put together.

  • When is this sublimity also available in Belgium?
    author: alfaridun

    Every track is divine and extraordinary touching. The harmonic and percussionic subtilities in pieces like Harappa or Nineveh are lovely, just like the migth of Pompeii and Tikal. I wonder when the cd will be available in Belgium... thank you for making this music

  • What a wonderful, wonderful CD..
    author: Leslie Aussem

    First, CD BABY is fantastic. The email response...well, you have to buy something to just get an email from them...They are so cool.I got my order in 3 days. The CD? Wonderful....I love Rock n Roll, but this was amazing....CD Baby was the only place that I could listen, review and buy all in one place...Thank you CD BABY!

  • This CD is amazing!
    author: Caity

    I absolutely love this CD. I had heard a few of the songs in various places (previews, themes, fans' music videos) and loved them. The rest of the CD is just as good. My dad listened to it today, and he agrees. It's great to listen to when you're writing, working, or just relaxing. If you're reading this review and thinking about buying the CD, do it!

  • Haunting
    author: Katie Otto

    I was haunted by the music in Cold Case - and when I found out it was on this CD, I knew E. S. Posthumus must be one fabulous group. The CD does not disappoint - every song is incredible. I hope they record many more...

  • In one word: SUBLIME
    author: TCLiggett

    Having first heard a cut from this CD on "Spinner" radio almost three years ago, I have been pursuing a way to purchase this CD ever since. It's hard to summon the superlatives: transcendent, awe-inspiring, magnificent, emotive, poignant are just a few descriptions that come to mind. It was almost worth the wait!

  • One of My Favorites
    author: Sicir

    This CD is, hands down, one of the greatest CDs ever. I love the mix of techno, chorals, and orchestrals. Incredibly original. I can't wait for their next album.

  • Great CD!
    author: amg23

    I bought this CD for "Nara", but all the songs are great! I would highly recommend for anyone.

  • Extremely insiring!!!
    author: L.M.

    I've always tuned in to "Coldcase" tv show, not only for good stories, but the beginning song "Nara". It is so beautiful, Listening to the whole CD inspires me to write and create great art. Very soothing. Highly recommended!!!

  • Unbelievably good stuff
    author: Anthony

    This is a fantastic CD. You may recognize a couple of the tracks from various trailers and shows, and the rest sound like they should belong to some. Definitely worth buying!

  • This cd is very original and intriguing
    author: Regi

    I bought this CD for Nara because of the movie Unfaithful and TV's Cold Case. I love every song on it. I haven't heard a CD this original and musical in a long time. I really enjoy the blending of contemporary percussion and classical themes. I hope a new CD is in the works!

    author: Kathy Booker

    This is an awesome CD. It causes the listener to experience so many different emotions -- what can I say? It took me over a year to finally find NARA; I first heard it used for an HBO upcoming season promo trailer. I loved it the first minute I heard it, and I love it even more now. The CD is great.

    author: Annie

    I've been looking for the theme song for the movie UNFAITHFUL and found it on this album. The entire album is superb!!! It brings out all of my emotions, sometimes I want to dance, march, cry, make love etc. Its just plain powerfull!!!

  • Very Original!
    author: Odessa

    Excellent combination of styles! I bought the CD for the song "Nara," which I will always love, but the rest of the disc is great! This music has inspired me.

  • Music for every mood
    author: fiendeuphoria

    having heard many clips of this music on movie trailers I went on a search of finding out who it was. when i found it and heard the tracks i was send on a euphoria. i love it because it has so many variations and has the perfect beat on every track.

  • Awesome
    author: Mike

    Great CD!! definately worth every penny

  • The best intelligent music I have heard in 20 years
    author: Ben Headrick

    If you like realy classy music with a more modern, driving beat that combines perfectly to instill that trance like state of awe that only occurrs a few times in ones life this is the one for you two.

  • Wonderful Moving Music
    author: Craig Y
  • A must have for any classical/electronica/fusion listener
    author: sfried

    The music is timeless and original. Definately more than just music for trailers of movies, "Unearthed" features varying sets of moods and atmospheres, ranging from graceful like melodies, to choir hymes to the set of industrial tunes, to a soft latin-like mellow song, to rockhard techno orchestral chanting. If you're into music with a difference, liking something that is sound to the ear, but not sleepy, then "Unearthed" will take hearing to a new experience, whether you're into classical music, big beat techno, or neither. This album is unique and just cannot be categorized into any simple genre. The highest form of listening I've ever heard.

  • Paul loves CD Baby and ES Posthumus
    author: Paul J. Champion

    Terrific CD, I bought from the UK so it was only £12 (CD's in UK still cost from £9-£17) and delivered to my door within a couple of days. The music on the CD is inspiring. I have discovered that it is impossible to play it too loudly. Awesome!

  • This CD is amazing! Outstanding. I love it.
    author: DeAnna Larson
  • its an amazing musical masterpiece
    author: jen

    this cd was absolutely amazing. if you want to hear a heart pumping and mind exploring piece of music listen to this cd. it contrasts the power of the beat with the beauty of harmonious classical instruments and a mind blowing selection of music. i would recommend this to anyone who has a good ear for music.

  • Excellent music! Very motivational.
    author: Michelle

    I first heard some of this music with a Tarzan video. I had to have it. Looked in all the local stores-couldn't find it. Went to the website where I first heard it and they sent me to you. This music is so hot! I listen to it when I run- it makes me want to run faster!

  • GREAT CD!!!!
    author: marsbar

    This is a different CD, with a new sound I really enjoyed. I would recommend this group to anyone.

  • Great inspiring music
    author: Kathleen M.

    I heard the song nara on an event and found it great. And after i had listened to some more in the net i had to have this cd. the music is just undescribable. You can dive into another world and relax.

  • Great To Listen To
    author: Phil S.

    This is one cd I keep with me in my small cd carry case at all times, I never leave it at home. I play it all the time and I have to say it is my all time favorite. I never get tired of it. The music is lively and interesting. A must buy.

  • Beautiful, inspiring music
    author: Kimberly H.

    I bought the cd for one song and ended up really enjoying the entire cd. The music is both modern and classic, contemporary and timeless. A rare find.

  • fantastic,remarkable,must buy!!!!!!
    author: neo

    A great one its the best and if u buy it u will listen it 100 times or more...!!!!!!

  • Inspirational!
    author: Randall Platt

    I had heard clips from this CD from several other places and knew I had to have it. Unearthed is simply wonderful. I listen to music as I write and it's a good thing this isn't a record, because I think I would wear grooves into certain tracks. I will never get tired of Antissa and Isfahan. I will want to be first in line for e.s. posthumus' next release.

  • Brilliant!!
    author: Lindamac

    Not only is this a wonderful collection of musical works -- it's a brain-stretcher too! It inspired several internet searches of the tracks' titles, and now I know a lot more about ruined cities and excavations than I did. Fascinating. The music was painting mental pictures even without the romantic title associations, and now the pictures are all the more colorful. I play this thing over and over!!

  • author: Chance B.

    Unearthed is an amazing CD. One of the very few I can listen to from start to finish without skipping any tracks. With its mix of styles, beats, and moods it has something for everyone. I'm very much on the lookout for future works by E.S. Posthumus.

  • good stuff
    author: joel

    E.S. Posthumus has delivered an awesome mix of orchestra, choir, and electronic elements in a package with something for everyone. From high octane beats and choir passages to chilled out string and uilleann pipes tracks. A must have for modern film score lovers.

  • Must have.
    author: kevin

    If you love movie soundtracks then Unearthed is without question a must have. Let me make this quite clear, I myself enjoy all types of music. I love this CD because when I want to relax or work I throw on Unearthed at home, in the car, wherever. Ulaid and Cuzco are my personal favorite tracks. For some reason they haunt my soul. I also love Antissa, Nara, and Estremoz. Yeah...the whole cd pretty much. You won't be disappointed get it, love it, and send E.S. Posthumus a message requesting more.

  • a soundtrack lover's dream
    author: Jennifer

    ...except it's not a soundtrack. I've wanted this cd since I heard Pompeii used in the first Spiderman movie trailer...and I just finally got it. I love listening to it, especially Nara (the Cold Case theme song) and Antissa. I'd gladly get more of the same if they had more albums...there's near-pure classical, rock-to-blast-out-your-speakers, haunting vocals...sometimes it sounds familiar like you've heard it before, and you probably have. It sounds like it should be from a movie even though it's not. I have to say it's been inspiring when I'm writing...very easy to set the mood with this cd. Thank you!

  • Mesmerizing! Irresistable temptation to listen over and over and over!
    author: Toni Medford

    Simply mesmerizing! Thanks to the TARZAN television series, which was unceremoniously canceled by the WB Network, I have found music to tame my savage breast---including this profoundly engaging and riveting CD UNEARTHED via DreamVisions music videos of TARZAN. I bow in sincere admiration for such noteworthy and evocative musical talents. BRAVO! 5 STARS!

  • Masterpiece!
    author: Kimchi

    This CD is simply a MASTERPIECE! Haunting, ethereal, breathtaking, powerful, emotional, beautiful, fantastic and awesome. There are simply not enough words to describe this music! From the moment I received it, it has been on *heavy rotation* and the songs take on a life of their own over time. I'm even buying more of *Unearthed* to give to friends & family - to support the creative integrity of this band, the unique music they make and also importantly, the entrepreneurial independence of CDbaby.com - it's definitely money worth spending. You will definitely NOT be disappointed with this CD! I look forward to more from E.S. Posthumus.

  • Fantastic!!
    author: Drewsky

    What a great CD! Better than I imagined. I hope another will come out soon.

  • Outstanding
    author: bstein

    This CD is simply amazing. Some of the songs are soft and soothing, while others are powerful and compelling. All told, it is certainly one of the best compilations of music I've heard. I can't complain about any of them, and I can't seem to stop listening, either. Please compose more!

  • An Excellent Masterpiece
    author: Ti22

    This CD is superb the music is just awesome, with good sound system you will get a goosebump just by listening to it not because its scary but because it lifts you up so high!

  • Fabulous! What a find!
    author: MM

    Wonderful CD - so glad to have found it. This is the perfect blend of dramatic themes with classical touches. HBO's use of this groups's piece "Nara" was a brilliant choice. THIS IS WHAT THE SOUNDTRACK TO LIFE SHOULD BE.

  • Powerful!
    author: Len

    This is a truly great CD. Reminiscient in some ways to Orf's Carmina Burana, yet with powerful, contempoary rhythms. I play this one over and over, especially Elba and Nara.

  • It is everything I expected and more
    author: Kemetstry

    It is everything I expected and more

  • Fantastic! And good service too
    author: R.R. California

    This is a fantastic album. I first noticed Nara on SCI-FI during the tailers for "taken" and had to have it! Defanatley one of my pride pieces to my collection. Also, CD baby was fantastic at shipping and notifying me of my purchase. Also the best 20 someodd dollars spend on a CD. Thanks guys truly elite product here. ~R

  • Awesome
    author: Graywolf

    This cd is as close to perfect as you can get.

  • AWESOME!
    author: John Pariseau

    This is one totally awesome CD. I never use the word awesome. Instead, I have reserved it for this stunning, brilliant piece of work. I purchased it for Ebla and Pompeii, but frankly, the whole CD rocks! Possibly the best purchase I have made to date!!! If you like Don Davis, Toto (Dune), Danny Elfman, check this CD out...

  • Totally amazing, inspiring CD!
    author: harry luck

    This CD makes me work! ... It makes me write! It makes me sad, it makes me smile! It's as simple as that. This truly is a work of art. I can listen to it time again, each time discovering something new about it, something hiding at the back i hadn't noticed before. The whole album has been created with such loving care, attention, diversity and creative flair it would be hard to see why anyone wouldn't enjoy this in one way or another. You must buy this album! Track 12 is fantastic, and by far my favourite! ;) Harry Luck.

  • Invigorating!
    author: Chris

    If you're looking for something different, something avant garde (sp?), look no further. The interesting mix of electronics, choir voices and symphony strings kept me listening to every note. Well worth the dough!

  • Unique and incredible sound & style.
    author: Kevin

    Excellent CD. Obviously NARA (from HBO and Cold Case)was the song which drew me to the CD, but the disc goes well beyond that one song.

  • The best $22.98 I've spent in ages!
    author: Graham Rutland

    I must say that Unearthed is well worth every cent being charged for it - it's delivered all the tracks I love from the Spiderman, Matrix and Planet of the Apes trailers and more; I've already converted a couple of friends to its magnificent sound. I'd certainly love to see something else from ESP in the future; they deserve to be big! Buy now or miss out!

  • A very good CD
    author: Tracy J

    I first heard "Nara" on the trailer to Unfaithful and i fell in love with that song, so i brought the soundtrack thinking it was on it and it was not. With the help of my firend we found who the artist was and i brought the CD and the rest is history. I LOVE this CD i hope they put out another one.

  • The WHOLE is CD is GREAT!!
    author: E.S. Posthumus Fan!

    I was turned on to this artist when hearing their music in many of the top movie trailers (aka The Matrix, Spiderman, Paycheck, etc.). I wanted to buy their CD, but I was a little wary about the other songs on the CD, but the second I popped it into the CD Player, I knew I had made the right choice - ALL THE SONGS ARE GREAT. The CD is just perfect!!

  • Great CD
    author: Will

    This CD is a great listen. My wife heard "Nara" as the theme music for the TV show "Cold Case" and had me track down the artist. The rest of the album is equally good and I know I have heard a few of the other tracks in other movies/tv shows. Highly recommended.

  • The CD was wonderful
    author: Cheryl

    Went looking for the artists of the theme from Cold Case, and found this CD after a long online search. It was worth the time I spent looking for it. The music is very powerful, speaking to me in a way I haven't experienced in a long time. I enjoyed each song on the CD, and how often can you say that? It's terrific. Buy it, you won't be sorry.

  • Why doesn't everyone know this band?
    author: LF Crawford

    My daughter searched on-line for the music from the UNFAITHFUL movie trailer and finally discovered this group. Of course I got to hear the CD when it came -- it blasted through our house -- and we all loved it. Great stuff you can really use your imagination with. Reminded me of the music from CHILDREN OF DUNE. UNEARTHED is full-bodied, rich, and not to be missed!

  • Inspiring and heartbreaking, all at once
    author: Ric

    I bought Unearthed to be able to listen to Nara between Sunday night episodes of Cold Case, and figuring that other Posthumus music would at least be enjoyable. But Unearthed is so much more ... ironically, Nara now has to share 'favorite' status with Ebla and (even moreso) Estremoz. I can only hope more such music is on the way.

  • Great CD! Please come out with another.
    author: Kari

    Unearthed is a great CD. It is very enjoyable. I hope that E.S. Posthumus will come out with another one.

  • Unusual, unique, awesome!
    author: Chanya

    I usually go for classical music, especially opera, but this!!!! This is great music! A blend of beautiful sound and vibes.... just awesome! It was such an adventure finding it -- I recommend this website for its very professional service. Buy it!!

  • Awesome, versatile, and just generally excellent
    author: David

    Although I play classical piano, I don't listen to a ton of classical music, nor am I a humongous fan of the "doom-sssk" of a lot of electronica, techno, and trance. This CD is a magnificent blend of the best of electronic music (none of that dumb "doom-sssk") with really great orchestral and symphonic effects. It seems to me that the instruments were either played live or sampled and if there is extensive use of synthesizers, it's sure not evident. The day after I recieved the CD, I put three of the more laid-back tracks into an astronomy presentation I made. Then I went and rocked out driving down the freeway to "Tikal" and "Pompeii," two of the more upbeat tracks. To illustrate the versatility of this CD, I could imagine the music functioning equally well in the soundtrack to "The Matrix" and as the background music in a massage room. Even though it isn't a work of musically technical genius, this CD is as imaginative and solid as any I've bought in a while.

  • Another neoteric gem.
    author: Michael Frazier, Parkersburg, WV, US

    There seems to be this new genre of music that is slowly coming of age - with Craig Armstrong (http://www.craigarmstrong.com), Rob Dougan (http://www.robdougan.com), and, now, E.S. Posthumus at its forefront. A synthesis of 20th century minimalism with everything pop culture has learned in the last 50 years. The result is stunning, filled with fast tempos and raw emotion. Highly recommended.

  • Haven't taken it out of my CD player for a week!
    author: Karalee

    This music is amazing. Like so many other listeners, I found this CD after searching for the artists behind Nara. I bought the CD for that one track, but I have found so many other tracks that are as good or better that I keep listening to the CD over and over. Truly extraordinary music. I hope to see more from E.S. Posthumus very soon!

  • Music's Best-Kept Secret!!!
    author: Jenny

    I finally found this cd after searching for the artists of Nara, a track featured on several movie trailers. It's a difficult cd to find, but man is it worth it! This cd crosses many genre boundaries, with sounds from classical, techno, and ethnic music(somewhat like the Brit. group Bond), and any piece on this cd could easily be the main focus of a movie soundtrack. Try this cd out for a unique, fresh, and exotic sound..I'm just hoping E.S. Posthumus has many more albums to come.

  • author: bebob11

    great music great arrangements great sound

  • Why don't you produce more of these?
    author: Benton

    My wife and I searched for who this is and what this is once we heard some of the cuts in movie trailers and on "Cold Case". After some web searching, 'wa-la' .. and boy, is it great! THANKS for your work and for creating one of the most compelling non-tiring CD's we have purchased in a LONG LONG time ... it's purely awesome!!!!!

  • Awesome cd!
    author: Kathy

    Great songs, great band. Every song on this cd is awesome and they all have their own sound. A great blend of sounds and easy to listen to over and over. I would highly recommend this cd.

  • Woah.
    author: Packrat

    Wow... I am just blown away by this CD. I had heard Ebla and part of Pompeii, and liked them; so I bought the CD hoping the other songs were as good as Ebla and Pompeii. In short: they were. Extremely. I really like the CD, and cannot wait until E.S Posthumus puts out another one.

  • Inspiring
    author: Spirit

    This cd is simply amazing, and has inspired me to actually start buying music again, instead of downloading. Thanks for the previews of each track, it really shows the group isnt scared to bare all...and in the end, reap the benefits.

  • Excellent! More than I was expecting, really impressed with the whole CD.

  • Speechless!
    author: DeZquirrel

    I cannot begin to write how wonderful and mindful this music is! It empowers even the most prejudice of music lovers to fall before it's grace. I love how every moment of the music puts you into a different mood, and also creates an enviornment more perfectly suitable for understanding this CD and what E.S. Posthumus is trying to depict to you....

  • Posthumus' music will stay long after he is gone....
    author: Victor, from Toronto, Canada

    I haven't been so moved by music since I listened to Vangelis' Mythodea. Posthumus is a talent composer, just like Vangelis. Why has he/she had no new releases since this 2001 release? A talent composer like Posthumus should NOT be allowed to take such a long vacation!

  • This CD is amazing,the music is beautiful and unique
    author: Monica Mazakis

    I have purchased many CD's this past year. E.S. Posthumus's UNEARTHED is one of the best CD's I have ever owned. I broght it home for the holidays, everyone loved it and wants to know where to buy it!

  • author: Amanda - Orlando, FL

    This cd is so amazing...I am a huge music lover, and i have never heard anything with so much emotion in it. The music is beautiful, and i am making EVERYONE i know listen to it. Thank you so much for creating this, giving people the ability to feel such diverse emotions in one cd length's time.

  • A great CD!
    author: Reinier de Jonge

    A really good cd, it is not an OST of a particular film, however you will find very recognizable tracks. This music WILL be used in future movies.

  • This CD is absolutely fantastic. . .
    author: Alexis

    This CD is, simply put, amazing. The depth of emotion and energy in each song is beyond words. I highly recommend it!

  • Amazing
    author: Berti - Germany

    Absolutely unearthed songs!!! Great!!! I´m expecting the next CD from E.S. Posthumus!

  • Amazing...
    author: Fred - France

    I originaly bought this CD because it was the matrix reloaded teaser's soundtrack and I was very pleased with the rest of the album! By the way thanks again for giving those 60sec glance of every track ; it's really helpfull when you don't know if it's worthy... in this case IT IS ! great crossover and interesting sounds, particularly the cathedral voices very present in some tracks and giving another dimension. Thanks.

  • Incredible. That is the one word for it.

  • I Love E.S Posthumus
    author: TCHaensel

    I've order this CD for 2 weeks ago and I must say that I love this CD. I Like his Style and you can hear the CD all along the day.

  • Fantastic CD from the first second to the very end.
    author: Jim

    I bought this CD after hearing only parts of a few of the songs and, as I suspected, it's great. I typically stick to less orchestral and more New Age-Etheral but this CD has opened my eyes (and ears) to music with such an emphasis. The CD is a delight to listen to from start to finish, which has been hard to find lately. I appreciated it enormously.

  • Bought the CD for one song but love the whole thing!
    author: John - Boise, Idaho

    I first heard Antissa a month ago and loved it, so I bought the CD. But, all of the cuts are great! Isfahan, Nara, Pompeii - this is truly a New Age delight! I only wish E.S. Posthumus had more available! Their sound is unique and refreshing. They blend voices with instrumentals in a manner I can only describe as angelic! All I can say is THANK YOU!

  • This CD is wonderful!
    author: Damiri

    Anyone who loves electronica, movie scores, new age, or just wants an interesting change of pace; be warned! This CD will blow your socks off!!!! Buy it! :)

  • Soundtrack without a movie
    author: Benjamin W Price

    Not a movie soundtrack but good enough to be one, I'm not surprised that music from this album is used in so many trailers. It's the audio version of the best action film ever made.

  • A Movie Trailer lover's dream come true!
    author: Michael

    I bought this CD mainly for Tikal and Pompeii, but ended up loving the whole CD. I love movie trailers and most of the music contained in this CD is perfect for Hollywood. Many times when people have asked me "Where did that awesome music come from" I always respond "Unearthed, by E.S. Posthumus!"

  • The best of everything
    author: Mister Furious

    It is a testament to the quality and diversity of the music on this CD that over one half of the tracks have been used in some form or another on every film trailer in the last two years. As you listen, every musical convention you have become accustomed to is tapped all at once in some way, making every track sound like your favorite, even though you've never heard it before (save for the snippet you probably heard at the local multiplex). It is this brilliance that makes your mind accept this new music as an old friend, and in so doing embrace it. For myself, I cannot wait for any more CD's by this artist.

  • Magnificent!
    author: Beth

    This CD blends together so many musical styles... and the result is phenomenal. From the excellent cover art, to the gorgeous music, I enjoyed this CD immensely. Well deserving of 5 stars!

  • An excellent example of musical artistry!
    author: Elizabeth Anderson

    This CD is the perfect thing to listen to when you want to hear beautiful music, but you're not really sure what you are in the mood for. These colorful arrangements are perfect for lazy afternoons of daydreaming of an alternate universe. Absolutely surreal!

  • Absolutely beautiful music - Are there more by Posthumus???
    author: Charlene Bryan

    Beautiful relaxing music and very sensual, unusual. I like being able to hear the music as I write this review also - an added bonus. I love it - pure and simple.

  • Perfect for Hearts of Space
    author: Mowzer from Sacramento

    In the same realm as Paul Schwartz's "State of Grace" or Engima, this music transcends! Why Hearts of Spce has never airedit, leaves me speechless.

  • An Outstanding Modern Tribute to Cultural Music
    author: Ben Reed

    I remember watching the trailer for the "Spider Man" movie and liking the music(Pompeii) for it (I'm a huge sucker for dramatic choir). Once I found out its title and where I could get it I did so immediately...and I'm not sorry I did. I've had difficulty describing this CD to others, but the best I can do is that it is a modern tribute to cultural music. Track #1 is very Asian in sound, Track #4 is a nice Celtic tribute and Tracks 5 and 12 are remincisent of English and Latin Requiems. My family and friends alike who have listened to this CD all like it as well. I highly recommend this CD, its decent length and very well priced.

  • Awesome
    author: David

    Awesome. It's classical, but its got a kick to it. It's like Dvorak's New World kicking you in the nads, but in a good way.

  • This is one CD I play over and over
    author: Jennifer Mitchell

    I bought this CD for the piece "Nara," but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised to find that I like every piece on the CD. It has a definite soundtrack feel; many of the songs conjure images of great battles or dramatic film moments. If you like orchestral music tinged with a modern feel, this CD should thrill you.

    A friend of mine introduced me to this music and I just HAD to have the CD. I searched the net and saw that it was out of stock until I found CDBABY. It was here! I ordered it over Thanksgiving and got it much sooner than expected. I have loaded the music on my computer and have been enjoying the entire album. My favorite songs are Tikal, Antissa, and Pompeii but the others are hauntingly delightful as well. SOOO glad I found this artist and CD Baby!

    NARA is the one track that I had been researching. It appears on both 'unfaithful' and 'antwone fisher's movie trailers. Took several hours on line to finally locate it, but this search was well worth it. I look forward to hearing more from e.s. posthumus! Terrific music. Thank you for producing such a fine piece of music.

    For having temporarily retired Philip Glass’ and Yo Yo Ma’s collaborative acoustic musical effort, Naqoyqatsi, where humanity’s fall from grace and its pleading was the theme, comes now the ascent of the personal journey within the very threads that weave to compose our human tapestry, a musical tour de force that reflects and beats to the nuances of this tapestry. This is the soundtrack to life, its perils and triumphs. Composed and arranged by the enigmatic, eclectic, eccentric, and reclusive E. S. Posthumus for the likewise listener that still sees the circles in the squares and breathes an air of myth; “Unearthed” will catapult that listener onto journey that will traverse over the ancient relics of humanity as reflected in the titles of the works, and literally un-earth as the title of the CD indicates the human propensities assumed to be nonexistent. Your journey will take you across the globe from Anitissa to Isfahan and inversely from exaltation to inspiration, and a plethora of other very human heights. And if you don’t find yourself gliding horseback with trees whizzing by you in the early mist of breaking day or clawing your way to overcome the mountainous and treacherous terrain of the ego in a blitz of hail and lightening, consider youself dead.
