Robert Hood advanced uncovering the power of true minimalism. Deep soul through a simplicity that showed how much could be done with so little. The devastating rhythms of this album forge the unmatched spirit of this sound, influencing generations to come.

\”25 years ago, I was faced with the challenge of following up on \’Minimal Nation’. I cancelled all my tour dates for that summer, setup my studio in the living room and began to work on \’Internal Empire\’. My intention was to create something distinctively different. Looking out my living room window in Detroit watching people go by gave me a new perspective. It made me look at the world within myself. 25 years later I am still discovering.” – Robert Hood
