TREXEL – Nocturne (1995) rare album out of print
As requested, here’s 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.
