from the label
"Brian Ellis releases his first album proper for Benbecula in anticipation of his full scale release "The Silver Creature". "Free Way" explores the more experimental facet of Brian's style with illustrious jazz workouts that harp back to the days of such freedom of expression during the early 70s, although still maintaining a very modern edge through the use of contemporary composition and instruments.
Excellent artwork and packaging on this one off Minerals Release make this a must have."

from the label
"Benbecula are over the moon to secure this multi-talented individual from the west coast of the USA, whose jazz inspired mix of electronic funk is possibly one of the most unique blends of sound to be produced this decade. Followers of the label will no doubt recognise Brian's output as one half duo behind the highly acclaimed Minerals release "Free Festival". Brian's solo work is a phenomenal one man band with multi-tracked instrumentation that is so well put together it easily deceives, sounding more like a 6 piece band."

Dim Porch Light
Free Festival is the collaborative output of Brian Ellis and Brian Grainger. Both Ellis and Grainger met in 2004 via the internet, and immediately found common ground in their prolific styles and musical interests. Following a slew of solo works by both of the boys under many different monikers, they decided in Summer of 2005 to finally try to produce something together. Ellis was living in Washington at the time, while Grainger was located in South Carolina. Files were transferred, and long conversations and late nights gave way to the foundation of what they wanted to do. Drawing collective influences from psychedelic rock, folk, hippie culture and electronic music, the duo quickly progressed into a pleasant balance of the different sounds and approaches they each brought to the table.
Sorry, this release is no longer available.

Have You Seen This Boy?
I Now Know Why You Cry
"You're waiting in line for the most exclusive discotheque in the largest metropolitan area of your country. It's about 12:30 AM and all you want to do is fucking dance. You're sweating for it. You can taste it. A Ferrari Enzo pulls up along side the curb. A beautiful blonde steps out in a shimmering and daring low-cut dress that looks like it was spun from pure gold. She looks at you and opens her mouth a little bit, strolls right past you. You are nothing to her. Right behind her is a technician, a surgeon, an engineer, a guru, a master of the dancefloor carrying a metal locked case full of records. You can't see his eyes through his silver coated shades, but you know they're looking right through you and onto the dancefloor. He sets foot into the club and heads for the DJ booth, his classroom, his domain, his kingdom, his operating room. He looks over the masses of sweating and writhing bodies, pulsing and moving to the beat. The master puts a golden, sequined vinyl on the turntable, drops the needle and pulls the fader to ten. He takes a deep breath and a single tear slides down one cheek and falls onto the spinning record. The soundsystem is put into overdrive, the moving bodies dance harder and faster. The emotion in the room is swelling to an out of control proportion... the pure passion of the evening coming to a peak, an explosion of bass and chilling synthpads fills the club. Women fall to their knees, they have been defeated by melody. Men gasp and sway as they are invaded by the rhythm and the beat. DJ Clubber Lang induces yet another evening of pure disco hysteria."
-Perry Pipinos on Tech-Noir
