5.0 out of 5 stars Electric violin meets the Mideast, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

An unusual but instantly identifiable sound, Ben Yelles fuses hypnotic rhythms with an almost achingly romantic electric violin sound. There is a sense of yearning in this music, but it doesn't get syrupy despite a "new age" overlay. It's been played on my folk/other radio show and is often used as a "bumper" or link music by NPR on their news programs. Sounds great late at night.

Hauntingly beautiful CD. Has he published more albums? Djamal Ben Yelles (not 'Wellef') - we love you!

One of my favorite all-time bed-time albums. Like an instrumental "Dark Side of the Moon," or "Houses of the Holy," a beautiful blend of Middle Eastern spaciness. Where is the rest of his catalog????
