Heaven And - Bye And Bye I'm Going To See The King

HEAVEN AND are Tony Buck (The Necks), Martin Siewert (Trapist), Steve Heather (Efzeg), zeitblom (Pole Band) Their joint musical backgrounds flow into this music & ideas from archaic blues, psychedelic rock, Sun Ra's Arkestra and Miles Davis' electric jazz are fused. Heaven And's second album cannot be attributed to any genre. Earthy bottleneck guitar licks or wailing lap steel harmonies are occasional references to folk and blues, yet they're only an acoustic sheet lightning on a heaven in which - occasionally - violins play on cloud nine. But the delicately tared string quartet does not emanate an acoustic cotton wool cloud cosiness. Rather, it's a precisely accentuated "European" counterpoint to those seemingly primeval American motifs.
