As the album title hints, Daniel Bernard Roumain is no ordinary classical violinist, starting with his spelling skills and continuing with his markedly unique hybridization of hip-hop, electronica, free jazz, and classical modalities. His obvious compositional acumen and chops allow him to hold his own alongside such powerful guest players as Philip Glass, Daniel Lanois, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and DJ Spooky, who may lend credibility to the proceedings but never outshine Roumain.
