This is not my cup of tee, but while I was reading all the CD reviews in the current issue of the WIRE, I found the whole review online available and also some mp3 excerpts, which doesn't happen with all the CDs and records reviewed, so I decided to post them anyway.
Julian Cowley - Wire Magazine 12/2005 "Once live in Ghent, once live in New York, Belgian composer and electric guitarist Guy De Bievre steers a sextet through Bending the Tonic. The composer's sleevenote suggests that this music is what happens "when you read Schoenberg while listening to Bukka White." This is a vivid description, although neither version delivers an obvious grafting of theoretical Vienna onto the Mississippi Delta. De Bievre is alluding to the music's unusual harmonic organisation and its 144 bar structure, the squaring of a 12 bar blues."
