A year ago Woven Hand's firstling could be regarded as a small side-step in David Eugene Edwards career. The trend that had been set on Sixteen Horsepower's four studio albums was continued for the most part on 'Woven Hand'. But on 'Blush music' Edwards explores new territories and he does that in a way that makes Woven Hand a fixture, an established act in the world of pop music, at one go.

The album's seed was Edwards being asked to compose music for a movie (sic) by Belgian filmmaker Wim Vandekeybus. For a long time Edwards had been wanting to work with other sounds then music and that is evident to hear. One part of the ten songs consists of adaptations of songs from Woven Hand's debut. For instance Bill Withers' 'Ain't no sunshine' has been covered again and it has now been stretched into an ominous epic of more than ten minutes, with a lot of sound effects in the category "creaking floors and squeaking doors". Centipede Tom Barman (dEUS) surely must have contributed to that sinister atmosphere, especially in the soundscape-like instrumentals. Besides dEUS, Talk Talk in their 'Laughing Stock' period looms up too.

However there still is enough room for Sixteen Horsepower's country gospel and the biblical-apocalyptical lyrics of Edwards to lure the purist among the fans into this adventure.
