Ben Sings: an array of records

Good day to you. This page holds Ben Swithen's three original-ish solo records, joint ventures, various compilations and extra tracks. Ben dwells in West Yorkshire, and has been deliberately making music since 2004, releasing a CD at the end of Lent each year from 2007.

If you would like a copy of any of the below, and can't download the whole thing here, just ask Ben, and you'll probably get one.

Christmas record 2009:

The Miracle of Christmas - a brand new Christmas album, featuring Ben, Jeremy and the Paxmen, and friends. I hadn't intended to be involved this year, but I ended up administrating, and featuring on seven elevenths of the tracks. Whoops! Nonetheless, I think I've crafted some of my slickest and most festive tracks for this year's Christmas release, and found the New Sound while I was at it. Another whoops, but never mind - the decade's almost over, so what errs I've ravelled will be quickly forgotten in the surge of newness.

New for Fall 2009:

An Hour of Ben Swithen - a new compilation of classics and rarities for anyone who has the technology to play a cassette, and fancies listening to two sides of Ben's music. Anyone highly familiar with my solo albums and Christmas works should still find eight tracks here that they don't know.

Other Recent movements:

A track and a half contributed to 'The Voices of Stentor', a project devised with Tom Hollingworth. Warning: much of the rest of the CD is by no means family-friendly

Lent 2009 has brought The Daleks' Master Plan out of me. My best and longest album to date, a revisionist musical version of missing 1965-66 classic Dr Who serial by Terry Nation and Dennis Spooner.
