And with their new remix release “Hydra”, they extend their musical boundaries even further. Originally a bar band of sorts, the band was initiated in 1993 as 'Forgiving Iris', with members Reagan Jones (vocals/keyboards) and Matt Morris (keyboards/programming). The two had met in college and, influenced by 1980s artists such as Erasure and Depeche Mode, began playing covers locally in Austin, Texas. In 1999 they changed their name to 'Iris' and released their debut full-length, Disconnect, which netted them Best Band and Best Album awards at the American Synthpop Awards in 2000. Disconnect spawned the worldwide club hit "Annie, Would I Lie To You?", and was one of the best-selling records in label A Different Drum’s history. Three more singles followed, but tensions between Reagan and Matt were coming to a head, and the band began to break apart. Luckily, a few years later, Reagan hooked up with new member Andrew Sega, and started a whole new chapter in the band’s history. Adding some guitars to the mix, and taking the production in a more experimentally electronic direction, Iris released “Awakening” in 2003. It was memorably organic, powerful, and really showcased Reagan’s strong songwriting. This would also be the first Iris release on Andrew’s new label, Diffusion Records. The success of this record led to a European release deal, a full tour of Germany and Switzerland, and festival dates in Sweden and the UK. During this time, the third record was taking shape. For this record, the band wanted to take a more aggressive approach, add a bit of darkness, and keep pushing the edges of their sound. The mixture of these elements culminated in 2005’s “Wrath”. Rock-oriented songs collided with electronic beats and evocative, atmospheric soundscapes. The first single, “Appetite” went to 1 on mainstream radio in Poland, and the band set off again for more European shows, festivals in Moscow and London, and toured with electro-pop luminaries such as De/Vision and Mesh. Fast-forward to the present, and we see the band releasing their first CD/DVD combo release, “Hydra”. Featuring 3 brand new tracks, as well as remixes from bands like Mesh, Alpinestars, Datguy, Benz & MD, “Hydra” lets other talented producers take the Iris sound and add their own stamp on it.

Good job on the torrent- I love this band. I have one concern, however: The tracks in Awakening, and perhaps a few others in Disconnect (I cannot be sure at the moment) are flawed and may not play on an iPod or an audio program like Audacity. I repaired the tracks with mp3val and they work now. Might want to look into fixing them up and reposting. :)
