Meanwhile the network around Dave Eugene Edwards is widespread and for quite some time now 16 Horsepower no longer is the only pillar. Woven Hand too, which was regarded as a small sidestep on its debut in 2002, is regarded as a regular since the second album 'Blush music' early 2003. On that previous album Woven Hand seemed to be the vehicle for Edwards' stillier side, this third album is more extrovert, which automatically reduces the differences with the 'parent company' 16HP. Still Edwards shows he is the designated person to musically represent the end of time, but on this album he renders the apocalypse in a many-sided way, considering that on six of the ten tracks Dave Eugene Edwards plays all the instruments himself he has never been closer to a real solo-album.

For his lyrics Edwards once more draws upon his principal source of inspiration, which is described here as 'King', there as 'Lord' or 'Father' and which he invokes more than once to intervene in the wordly mess. Like he does in the closing song 'Into the piano', with an intro which more than vaguely reminds you of John Lennons' 'Jealous Guy'.

Edwards has just done some Dutch shows with 16 Horsepower, how he executes the latest work of Woven Hand live can not be seen until early 2005, and for the time being not closer to home than in Brussels.
