Boud Deun - The Stolen Bicycle
SKU
RUNE 111
This has been out of print for some time and since the band broke up (a full 10 years ago this September!), and demand is very limited, there are NO PLANS to ever reissue this. We found a few in Europe and bought them. Yes, they are too much money, but that's what they are.
Boud Deun (1994-1998) were a frankly amazing D.C. area quartet of guitar, violin, bass & drums. Why amazing? Playing intelligent, undefinable, sometimes unbelievably fast paced progressive/fusion music, they gigged constantly up & down the East Coast. All this performing made them into one of the tightest bands you could ever hope for; these guys could stop & start on a match-head. With interesting compositions, terrific group dynamics & great playing from all members. This was their fourth, last and simply their best. The playing is as sharp & superb as ever, while the compositions (which includes the 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 I heard them called the best band in America many times, & it's kinda hard to to say too much beyond that.
