Ben and Pontus at Salteriet, Björkö last week ... A new FREE mp3's page is born. Ben's giving away all his music as mp3's for free!
I've been thinking about it for years, and now I made up my mind after reading FIRE ON THE EARTH by Dr. Eddie Hyatt. (Editor) There U go: In the bag
Track
1 Be Bop Dun de Dum.mp3 (Release Waam 002) 1996, This was a breakthrough CD, the record is a mix of electronica. Most instruments were played by hand though! We mostly used the sequencers as tape recorders, without quantizing anything, even though there are some loops. The track God in my garage was on MTV Europe for many years! The track "There's a God in my garage" is also released by n'soul records in Hollywood, California, on their ELECTICA 3 1999 CD. Box Americana
Track
1 Box Amreicana.mp3 (2000, Release by Riverside Records RRCD 109, Stockholm). This is a rock/pop record, it has been on the air for 7 years now at least in the USA. Luna Park (NEW)
Track
1 Flowers in my hair.mp3 (Release 2006-7) Waam 009, New!) This seems to be my most popular recording to date. My old friend and CO-founding member of Ben Antell Band, Sixten Sandvik plays the drums, and I (Ben) play all the other instruments. The album is a mix of Hi/Lo Fi, it has a live rock feel. I will add the other recordings to my site later, when I find the time :-) There was a warning issued the other day on the news that the ice on the sea is melting. The general public was told not to go out on the ice...
Being a rock star I rented a limousine yesterday with a brave driver 2 find out: why :-)
Gerby Splash
Gerby Splash 2...and gurgle...
Bouncing around on the Gerby ice we could see the Wasa coastline...through the mist
It took a while before the limo started going boing boing on the ice, and the limo sinking slightly...so I wouldn't recommend going out there any more.
I told the my driver to stop and check the thickness of the ice...
It was warm and cozy inside the limo, but I could tell from the driver shivering that it was probably very cold in the wind outside.
I was getting hot inside so I told my driver to scoop me some ice for my Coke.
The driver looked coldish... Although brave, the driver who was named after a bunch of trees (Asplund), declined to go out another time, so that I could get the Mega-splash we created when we got ashore...oh well. The material we filmed on the ice will become a new Ben Antell Band music video any day now. We will post it on youtube.com STYLE: Rock Benjamin Antell Reviewed by Tim Holden Finnish muso Antell has been around for a while with a large number of albums to his name - as well as some great art and a software company! 'Box Americana' (released in 2000) marked his move from straight electro dance to a more rock orientated sound and is full of interesting twists and turns. This album keeps interest going right to the last track. The guitar sounds are sometimes reminiscent of the Gillan Band and he uses atmospheric sound samples to set the scene for some songs or give an Art Of Noise feel here and there. Covering topics from where has the Gospel gone in American life through to how TV and films have captured a generation, the songs ask loads of questions and start pointing to God for the answers without ever trying to ram the theology down your throat. A well produced album with a nice touch of quirky humour. 2007 02 17... BEN ANTELL BAND - LUNA PARK review on the Phantom Tollbooth: Whoa nelly! Ben Antell Band is an indy-rock band from Sweden (they sing in English) that have created a blessedly warped and catchy bunch o' tunes on Luna Park. This album is a flat out blast... Do yourself a favor and check out for musical thrills and chills a bit unlike anything you have heard recently. And you gotta' love titles like "What a Beautiful Dei," "Piccolo Bell Boy," "Camel Race - Helter Skelter Days," and the ever popular "Really Hidden Track."
