Sometimes it is hard to label music, but E.S. Posthumus’ album Makara is almost impossible. We can call it electronic, Pop Crossover, Rock & Roll or new age music. But whatever we choose to call it, E.S. Posthumus is the only artist on Billboard’s new age music chart that comes close to selling just as much as Enya and Enigma these days.

E.S. Posthumus’ music is hard, fast, melodic and very dramatic. All the 15 tracks on the album is like the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack; dark and hard-hitting.

It might not sound like new age music right away – but give it some time, and you’ll hear that it actually is close to the group Era in sound  – but a bit harder and without the Gregorian samples.  

It is not for meditation or quiet moments of reflection. But if you need a soundtrack for your morning jog, this is perfect. Simply perfect. Angry new age music?
