I found another one. The interesting part is his 12-string quarter-tone guitar, modded out of a standard guitar (appears at 5:20):

The 'Fuze" is one of my favorites.
Find some stuff he has done with Hiromi and Sonicbloom-

She is working on a new album, I sure hope he's on it.

If you really like Fuze, you should check out Hasidic New Wave--it is a group that I've played guitar and sung with a lot over the years, but under a different group name. Anyway, HNW is a jazz group that takes Jewish melodies and plays them like '70s Miles Davis and then some. I used to play a lot with Yuri, the accordionist from Gogol Bordello, too, but that's another story....

Gogol Bordello!
One of my favorite 'finds' in the past few years, what a fun band.
..another is Les Yeux Noirs

and of course Balkan Beat Box....
