A while back, Volkswagen compiled a various artists CD of tunes from its commercials to appease the VW masses, but Ben has taken it a big step further - He just released an original full length album of expanded versions of ditties he originally wrote soley for Volkswagen ads.
"There is no difference between something that is considered art and something that is a commercial," he says. "My album is a statement of that." - Full story at the Christian Science Monitor
Beep beep indeed. Herbie would be proud.
