Electronica...
Produced by: Roger O. Thornhill.
On MTV Europe since 1997! The crew at MTV Europe seemed
very suprised to hear a record from Finland back then,
the rest is history. A map of Finland was shown to explain
to the viewers were Finland was, and Vasa for that matter.
Ben was born in Vasa. The video is still on the air from
time to time!

Record not available at the moment.
Liquid Elevator - demo (independent, 2003)
Liquid Elevator was one of the most appealing newcomers on the Escape the Furnace 3& 4
compilation with the industrial groove rock track "Climb Position Maximum". Behind Liquid
Elevator is Benjamin Antell, whose upbringing in Australia, Sweden, and Finland
contributes to his original sound. The seven tracks on this demo of industrial remixes (or
"demixes" as he calls them) are mostly derived from his solo electronic pop release Box
Americana with the assistance of Michael Waegar and Australian female singer Jane Kitto.
Vocals, all in English, vary noticeably from track to track as Benjamin experiments with
chord clashes and the manipulation of samples from both singers. There is a guitar crunch
throughout which has more of a blues rock flavor with its groove and squeals than the
power chords of the metal genre. Intermixed with all of this are pounding dance beats and
mechanical percussion making a formal full-length something for industrial fans to look
forward to. (RM)

This was the first BAB LP. Recorded in the winter of
1981 (3 days in the studio :-) It came out around New
Years Eve 1982...
The swedish pressing sounds MUCH better than the Canadian
one. Waters was mastered by audio wizard Peter Dahl and
Benjamin at Cutting room, Stockholm.
The studio Master was destroyed in a studio fire. Waters
was never released on CD. I might add some tracks to the
FREE mp3 page
soon, Ben
