Bio:

Very good hard rock / AOR project by Ben Trexel back in the early 90s.Ben Trexel is a recording artist, guitarist, composer, producer, mixing engineer and multi-instrumentalist.In addition to his solo work, he is producer/guitarist and co-writer for Space of A Day, Kurt Deimer, Far From Final, Madison Avry, Amacio Favor, Victor Weils, Applespacebar, Blue Trees, Reverend JD and many others.

Album:

Balance Of Power - the first album by TREXEL in its Retrospect Records reissue.Originally released by himself in 1991, “Balance Of Power” is the culmination of multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Trechsel works between 1989 / 1991.Trechsel adopted the artistic name Ben TREXEL (also the name of his band) however “Balance Of Power” comprises the his own recordings where he performs all instruments.Mostly an electric guitar virtuoso, Ben sings pretty well too and as Berklee graduate, he’s able to play a wide array of instruments.Despite his ablilities with the six strings – there’s a great guitar work all over the CD and some smokin’ solos – “Balance Of Power” is a song-oriented album with that late ’80s melodic hard rock / AOR classic sound.The album was recorded at several sessions / studios and you can hear some different production style here and there, but always very professional, multi-tracking recorded.At places you can hear some early BON JOVI, TRIXTER, a bit of STEVE LUKATHER solo, BRYAN HUGHES GROUP, HOWE II, etc

Country : United States

Bio:

Very good hard rock / AOR project by Ben Trexel back in the early 90s.Ben Trexel is a recording artist, guitarist, composer, producer, mixing engineer and multi-instrumentalist.In addition to his solo work, he is producer/guitarist and co-writer for Space of A Day, Kurt Deimer, Far From Final, Madison Avry, Amacio Favor, Victor Weils, Applespacebar, Blue Trees, Reverend JD and many others.

Album:

The second album by TREXEL, the band of guitarist / vocalist / songwriter Benjamin Trechsel. After his first album where he performs all instruments, on “Nocturne” – released by a small label in 1995 and hard to find now, here TREXEL – the band – is in full exposure, a four-piece of talented, virtuoso musicians.But “Nocturne” focus are the songs – not flashing shredding – melodic hard rock songs with cool hooks like if 1989 never passed. Kudos to Ben Trexel for keeping the hooks and feel-good vibe alive in 1995 with this solid CD.Professionally, multi-tracking recorded, on “Nocturne” can hear some early BON JOVI, TRIXTER, HOWE II, GEORGE LYNCH first solo album, MacALPINE, etc.
