It might make you cry,it might even break your heart ,but it will give you hope.

"every lonely road
leads to a noisy place
fill your flask on the corner
we come to be crazed
get the message
hijack the past in a rage
and ride the wave
of Mad Hatter Days"

REVIEWS

Compulsive listening

This is great music, in the true sense of the word. Not everyone looks for stories in music, but this could tell one. Building on 'Torrington Haze', Ben once again transcends technique and composition to capture a mood. Not a note of padding anywhere - fantastic.

Actually I thought it looked like Einaudi, but it's really better than that. I've been playing it obsessively, especially at night with headphones...

This was given to me as a gift, and I love it - have been playing it constantly ever since. The pieces are original and convey a wide variety of moods, which I can relate to. Very accessible music. And it makes you want to hear it again.
