Compelling and Cool
author: Star Bender
This is a compelling mix of musical flavors. Ben is an extraordinary improvisational violinist with an ear for producing interesting melodies. The styles and moods have the ingredients to draw you in and keep in the groove. Refraction's violin solo rips in an experimental fashion. The song entitled Divide and Rule has the Arabic sound yet the groove and background make it into something modern and mysterious. End of History's violin solo has all the nice fuzz and wah effects often found on guitar and it rocks. A Civilized People has a ripping solo. Walking In The Park could be a television theme song with it's nice funky groove. Nice work all the way down to Three Headed Snake.
