"ambient with a healthy dose of tribal beats and flutes...among the very best…a masterwork that deserves a wide audience."

Product Description
Dean De Benedictus is known for passionately exploiting his interests in a variety of musical styles and concepts. His music is a celebration of age-old artistic attempts to tie the essential common thread between opposing genres and mentalities, as well as draw a natural sense of mystery out of his own work. Venturing into gritty, experimental, and edgy elements of electronic music, Salvaging the Past explores the art of instrumental music with an honesty and integrity that reflects the artist. This is an album that is raw and direct, capturing a vital heart of true electronic music while suggesting more thought-provoking themes.

Salvaging the Past.......2006-02-28

Dean's music comes at your brain like a sneak attack, with intelligence, feints, layers of shapeshifter sounds and coyote attitude that keeps you listening, wondering, "What is next?" Because you do not know, will not know, until after many listenings, the sinuous tracks may get gently worn into your gray matter. This music is a different kind of soundtrack, to Dean's inner movie, and perhaps you can try and make it fit yours too, but it never will completely, as this music is intensely personal, intensely Dean's own. I'm just glad that he makes the great effort to get it just right, and, when he is ready, shares it with the rest of us.

Dean De Benedictis "Salvaging the Past".......2006-01-14

There is a lot of electronic music these days and it is apparent that either some of it fits (musically), or it doesn't. Dean's latest excursion into the realm of "ambient/sequencer" music takes this listener to the edge of infinity via "Salvaging the Past".
