Comments: From the promoter: “New Orleans' Benny Divine, known as BÊNNÍ, is an expert in crafting cinematic, expansive soundscapes. His compositions provide a propulsive foundation in understated basslines, upon which undulating and lyrical synthesizer melodies explore the terrain ahead. It was just a short year ago that Goner Records gave wide release to the BÊNNÍ debut album, I & II, launching the new sub-genre we now know as 'Hi-NRG New Age'. Benny Divine's sophomore project The Return constructs an alternative historical narrative in which BÊNNÍ exists not as a source of soundtrack afterthought, rather as the initial spark of inspiration for an entire '70s sub-genre of gritty crime and science fiction films.”
