The Flashbulb - Opus at the end of everything out today
Benn Jordan has recorded under many different pseudonyms over the years but the name he has used most widely is The Flashbulb. Other notable aliases are Acidwolf, Human Action Network and FlexE. The Chicago based musician was heavily involved in the breakcore scene until his album 'Soundtrack to a vacant life' (2008) saw a shift in direction and displayed an amazing gift for blending live instrumentation with cinematic sounds and electronics over its 31 tracks. What is even more amazing is that he released the ambient album 'Pale Blue Dot - A Tribute to Carl Sagan' in the same year. If you haven't got these albums already we highly recommend you track them down.
'Opus at the end of everything', his latest long-player, has been released today and is available on cd through his alphabasic website or via download through bandcamp. You can listen to / purchase the entire album (25 tracks) below for $9.99, that's only £6.52. It's a beautiful album and reaffirms what a talent Benn is.....
