Electric violin meets the Mideast
07/31/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"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."
Beautiful!

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

"This CD is wonderfully romantic & relaxing. It would go well with a jacuzzi bath with aromatic candles, especially with your lover. I usually listen to alternative rock & my boyfriend likes techno music, but this CD was provided in a hotel suite we stayed in, & we fell in love with it."
