DEUS VOICE

"And suddenly the room was filled with the very warm and known sound of Deus.

We did wait for this album long time now all of us who believed in the group and we can say it was more than worthy. Bad Timing opens this latest work and proves in seconds that it does not come in bad timing at all to be followed of 7 Days, 7 Weeks which sounds like a inspired pop hymn with simple forms.

The guitars keep on playing an important role giving you the impression that they are in a non stop dialogue between them.

You will feel it when you hear the Cold Sun of Circumstance but in Night shopping the rock air the song brings is going to remind you where you come from.

Listen to this great cd I believe it is worthy.

DEUS are back

""dEUS are back.



As the last millennium flickered to a close and fresh from releasing the sublime third album Ideal Crash and the Europe-wide sell out extravaganza of the accompanying tour, new vistas began to beckon and a trail of personal solo musical projects and, in lead singer Tom Barman's case, the small matter of writing and directing his debut movie, 'Any Way The Wind Blows', led the band in a myriad of different directions. So diversely busy has the band been that it is a wonder that they actually made it back so quickly.



The page turns and now dEUS are back. New album, new line up, new passion. Drummer Stéphane Misseghers (ex Soulwax) joined dEUS as they began work on the new album. The line up was finally crystallized in the Autumn of 2004 when Alan Gevaert (ex Chris Withley & Arno) joined on bass and, Craig Ward, having moved on to pastures new, was replaced in dEUS by friend and musical cohort, the legendarily and effortlessly cool Mr Mauro Pawlowski (formerly the lead singer with the much missed Evil Superstars and also Mitsoobishi Jacson amongst many other fine incarnations).



Pre-Christmas gigs sold out in an instant, and rave reviews suggested a prodigal return. The promise of a fourth studio album of new material, whet the appetite of all who were familiar with the musical landscape that dEUS had thus far created and new audiences will surely beckon. dEUS may have been a little tardy of late, but no one can doubt that this fourth album will further the musical canon of a band in perpetual motion - in measure enchanting, confounding, heartbreaking and dazzling, but never ever disappointing.



The stage is set and dEUS are now on tour promoting their new album "Pocket Revolution"."



Less experimental, more guitars and the most beautiful dEUS song: "Nothing really ends" (previously released on their singles collection). As usual, you have to listen to it a couple of times before you judge it. Buy it and listen to it at least 10 times in a row... You'll love it.

Clever entertainment

"not as eclectic and adventurous as their previous works, sounds like a conscious attempt at reaching a wider audience with a more conventional pop-rock oriented product. The songwriting is good.

Overall an above-average CD (for the market, not for the band) that's certainly worth listening to and possibly buying."
