Description/Reviews: 

Although Celtic influenced and comprised of a number of re-workings of Irish folk tunes and Breton aires, the album is still in large part new and original Echo Us music that fits right in the Echo Us ‘canon’. “Wake” is a natural progression from  “A Priori Memoriae”, which was released to critical acclaim in Europe in 2014.

Description/Reviews: 

"II:XII, À Priori Memoriaé" brings together a host of classical musicians with the Echo Us core, to create a work that starts in the past, but finishes in futuristic fashion.
‘A Priori’ literally means “from the former” in Latin. The album looks back on other levels of consciousness expressed in the preceding works of the trilogy, as if within an afterlife. Flowing as one long work based off of a few melodic motifs, "Priori Memoria" is truly a ‘classical’ work in many ways, fusing ancient and modern instruments to create a stream of consciousness.
