Based in Rome, this music bears some resemblance at times to Dave Matthews. However, where Matthews' songs may jump and jive in places, Bash's sounds are far more straightforwardly linear. What these two artists do have in common, though, is a focus on great guitar playing - specifically acoustic guitar work. All these five songs include some stunning examples of acoustic finger picking.

Vocally, Bash has a unique voice. It's difficult to describe, but there's something exotic about it that may just make you think of African and reggae music.

Of these five tracks, "Black Swan's Walls" is the most unusual, as it has a slightly Southern rock thing going for it, which makes it unlike everything else.

Just as one of those candy sampler box makes you want to right out and get full boxes for some of your favorite flavors, this musical sampling makes one want to go back and hear these four full EPs.
