Bill Bruford's Earthworks: All Heaven Broke Loose, CD Edition

\u2022 Reissue of long out-of-print album by drummer Bill Bruford\u2019s Earthworks\n\u2022 Arguably Earthworks Mark I's most fully- realised studio release, even as it moves towards a more abstract aesthetic.\n\u2022 Includes live performances of the African-influenced \u2018Libreville\u2019 and the more atmospheric \u2018Pilgrim's Way\u2019, both originally released on \u2018Dig?\u2019, demonstrating how Earthworks was able to rework and open up the material in performance.\nTheir third album, \u2018All Heaven Broke Loose\u2019, was recorded in Germany in almost exactly the same one hundred hours, at the beginning of 1993, that it took the Allied Forces to defeat Iraq; the title is perhaps an optimistically ironic comment on that unhappy event.\nDespite its off-kilter approach to tunes that avoid conventional form, Bruford's intrinsic time sense keeps things grounded throughout.\nRe-released on Bruford\u2019s own Summerfold Records imprint.\n\u201CEarthworks makes jazz out of just Y
