The poetry and ambient melodies of Benjamin Lew have produced some of the nineties' truly innovative music. Lew's collaborations with saxophone player <a href="spotify:artist:2szO9JwHaj3hOnNVTUdqXL">Steven Brown</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:4zn0m3hBUQVl6Nf36Sb0A6">Tuxedomoon</a> have yielded three memorable albums -Douzieme Journee: La Verbe, La Parure, L'amour (1995), A Propos Dún Paysage (1995) and Nebka (1995). In a review of Douzieme Journee: La Verbe, La Parure, L'amour, Interview Magazine wrote, "All this band is missing is Yma Sumac on lead vocals".

Lew and <a href="spotify:artist:2szO9JwHaj3hOnNVTUdqXL">Brown</a> first met while Lew was working as a bartender in a Brussels bar frequented by <a href="spotify:artist:2szO9JwHaj3hOnNVTUdqXL">Brown</a> and other members of <a href="spotify:artist:4zn0m3hBUQVl6Nf36Sb0A6">Tuxedomoon</a>. When their conversations steered towards their musical vision, they discovered a kinship that continues to produce results.

Lew's debut album, When God Was Famous, was a collaboration with vocalist Samy Birnbach of <a href="spotify:artist:6a2HcrBBLrhSq57wzuoXYr">Minimal Compact</a> which featured the poetry of such poets as Yeats and Herman Hesse set to music. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
