Zeb - The End Of The Beginnings (2002) Electronic / Downtempo

First of all, for those who don't know what Zeb does.... He plays the Guitar ( electric and classic/flamenco ) the bass, the Oud ( the Arab guitar ) Sitar and synths , he programs all his beats and rarely uses samples unless they come from his own playing. In keeping with his gypsy roots and multicultural sensibility, Moreno Visini, otherwise known as Zeb, takes us around the world on a musical journey so exhilarating that we cannot help but want to jump off the Earth as it rotates on its axis. Or do we? Zeb’s music is not the kind you want to stop listening to; rather, it’s the kind that compels you to drive three more times around the block just so that you can hear one more song on the CD before parking the car and facing the routine task of burning dinner. The analogy is an apt one given Zeb’s own myriad journeys around the planet. He was born in a small Italian village, was raised partially in London and, although he is currently settled in New York, his career has been marked by a willingness to explore the Earth’s rich cultural traditions. www.myspace.com
