Enneagram Records

This is the second half of a 2 CD set that began in 1997 as a follow-up to Ben’s first release “Let The Madness Begin”. The material chosen was given a decidedly electric treatment, and the project developed into a real ’guitar’ record, with some songs having as many as 7 or 8 different guitar tracks. The tracking was done to 2” analog tape and was actually finished by early 1998. After 10 years ‘in the can’, it was eventually transferred to Pro Tools and editing and mixing began. It is a rare privilege to have all the time you need to see a project through to completion, and by virtue of that luxury, this is music that we are most pleased with - the results very closely match the vision we had at the outset. Recommended listening level — LOUD!

the giant emptiness revealed

This project was originally conceived to be the ‘unplugged’ half of the 2 CD mentioned above as a follow-up to Ben’s first release Let The Madness Begin .  Various circumstances prevented the completion of that ambitious endeavor in a timely fashion, and work on The Giant Emptiness Revealed started up again in 2007. The decision was made at that time to release this project separately, and it is a throwback to Ben’s earlier reputation as a folk artist in the Kansas City music scene. The Bonus Track included here, “Wayward Love”, was initially part of the ‘electric’ set, 12 Room House (now available!). “The 13 songs here are some of my favorites, just me and a few friends having a ball in the studio.”
