Brise Glace

Band_pic



"The line up of Brise Glace includes the ubiquitous Jim O'Rourke, Christoph Heemann (of German experimentalists HNAS) and improv-guitar master Henry Kaiser, alongside members of Illusion Of Safety and Dazzling Killmen (and with Steve Albini in the engineer's chair for this particular project). Perhaps this should give some indication of the deviant direction of When In Vanitas.

Of course there are precedents: the stark eeriness of the first This Heat album (on the track "Host Of Latecomers" Thymme Jones's drumming is clearly influenced by Charles Hayward); Holger Czukay's theory of musical economy (the notes you don't play are as important as the ones which you do - hence avoiding overelaboration and unneccessary ornamentation); and the cut and pasted methodology of Faust."

--John Everall, The Wire, Feb '95
