Synopsis

Album Description
Our Point of Departure, the 4th full length album from HIM, incorporates elements of jazz improvisation, dub punctuation and electronic soundscapes, relying heavily on the synthesis if the collected influences of this diverse and inspiring combination of people. The original tracks for the session were initiated by Doug Scharin and Fred Erskine and fleshed out by Carlo Cennamo, Jon Theodore and Sean Meadows. Doug then combed through the hours of tape and extended the forms of each piece. The result is music that seamlessly combines the live sound and communication of an improvised recording session with something electronic and entirely new.

CD Reviews

I heard 10 seconds of it and loved it

"Though it may only be 38 minutes long, Our Point Of Departure is a real good album. This entire album is one continous song (it's an instrumental), all at the same tempo, split into 6 different tracks. What i enjoyed about this is the drums (african voodoo drums are an influence) and the amazingly crazy horns. This is a CD truly worth the money. And i'm not sure about you, but it gives me a certain feeling of power knowing and liking a band which nobody's ever heard of."

"this album is great, jazz lovers and beat-oriented groove fans should check these guys out. I love the last song, the horns are backwards!!"
