Admit it. You�ve grooved to those Volkswagen TV ads. But would you buy an album of ambient music written for car commercials? Trumpeter Ben Neill is betting on it. Automotive expands upon the breakbeating tracks he created for 10 VW spots. His tunes aren�t as distinctive as marketing-driven singles like �I�d Like to Buy the World a Coke,� but his instrument definitely is. Neill�s custom-built mutantrumpet boasts six valves, three bells, a trombone slide, and a Midi interface. Catch Neill and his musical mod live on the House of Blues tour this fall.
