Details:
Ian James is back with his second full length solo CD on Blue FX Records. Volume 2 is another sampling from Ian's mixed-genre catalogue that was written and recorded over the past two years. There are fourteen songs written in mixed genres of rock, funk, techno. hip-hop and blues. Great "Head-Trip" music, with flashes from the past (Dispute- a song that is Doors like, yet amped up), and future (Getting In My Way - a song with very mechanical yet funky, under beat).

Unlike Volume 1, there isn't much "World" influence on this album and it is pretty much a straight foward fast moving "Summer-time" disc, not without its melancholy moments, as one would expect from Ian.

Here is an updated brief bio on Ian and hs most recent accomplishments:
