Release Notes:
The first Belgian-based indie act ever to sign to a major international label,
the improvisational avant grunge group dEUS was originally comprised of
vocalist/guitarist Tom Barman, bassist Stef Kamil Carlens, drummer Julle De
Borgher, violinist Klaas Janzoons, and guitarist Rudy TrouvΘ. Formed in Antwerp
in 1991, dEUS began their career as strictly a cover band, but soon began
performing new material, honing an irreverent, free-form live show drawing on
influences ranging from folk and punk to jazz and prog rock.
After issuing a four-track EP titled Zea, dEUS mounted a series of London
performances that led to a contract with Island Records. In 1994 the group
released its full-length bow, Worst Case Scenario, winning acclaim for the
singles "Suds and Soda" and "Via." After announcing plans to produce their own
pornographic film, they issued 1995's My Sister, My Clock; however, in the wake
of the record's release, Carlens exited to focus on his side project, Moondog
Jr. TrouvΘ soon followed suit, channeling his energies into the group Kiss My
Jazz; with new guitarist Craig Ward and bassist Danny "Cool Rocket" Mommens in
tow, dEUS returned to the studio to cut 1997's In a Bar, Under the Sea. The
Ideal Crash followed in 1999.
