- Not since Happy Family's debut has a 1st release on Cuneiform
been so eagerly anticipated. Boud Deun are a frankly amazing
D.C. area quartet of guitar, violin, bass & drums. Why amazing?
Because they play intelligent, undefinable, sometimes unbelievably
fast paced progressive/fusion music & they gig constantly
up & down the East Coast, which is pratically unheard of!
All this performing has made them into one of the tightest bands
you could ever hope for; these guys can stop & start on a
match-head. With interesting compositions, terrific group dynamics
& great playing from all members. "Anything this excellent
is hard to review without being reduced to giggles & a sheer
state of awe. Yes it's that good...1997's top release"-Exposé.
"I have played it repeatedly...Brilliant. Although it's
very eTaylor,
editor, Gibraltar. "This progressive rock, jazz, fusion
beauty is ASTONISHING! Do not let this ballistic treat slip through
your fingers."-Fantastic Voyage System.
- Boud Deun is a band that just get markedly better as time
goes on, & their releases go from strength to strength. The
Stolen Bicycle, their 2nd Cuneiform release, is simply their
best yet. The playing is as sharp & superb as ever, while
the compositions [which includes their 38 minute/16 part "Churches"]
are ever-more notable and intriguing. I don't want to be accused
of over-loading the hype machine, but without any prompting,
I have heard them called the best band in America many times,
& it's kinda hard to to say much beyond that.
