Even though George Harrison is his father, its still striking how much Dhani Harrison resembles the legendary Beatles guitarist. His music, however, is a great departure.

Dhani and friend Oli Hecks have released their first album as Thenewno2, which borrows as much from Brian Eno and Massive Attack as it does from his dads band.
