Benjamin Bates is jumping for joy on the cover of his new CD Recyclomania. And rightfully so! His second album is a personal document that successfully evokes a variety of moods, ranging from ecstasy on the first single ‘On My Feet’, melancholy in opening track ‘Note To Self 1’ and desperation in ‘Forever Running’. As Bates explains: “Music should conjure up certain emotions and for me the easiest way to achieve that is to record music that has that same effect on me when I listen to it myself.” Bates wrote, arranged, played, sang, produced and mixed the entire album himself with his production partner in crime, Marco V. The title of the album, Recyclomania, refers to the habit of recycling music. Nowadays, many dance hits are based on samples of old hit singles.
