M!N!MAL/MAX!MAL

With M!N!MAL-MAX!MAL BL!NDMAN turns back to its roots. Maximalist!, the group of Eric Sleichim, Thierry De Mey, Peter Vermeersch and Walter Hus, was the stepping stone, not only for BL!NDMAN, but also for as diverse bands as X-legged Sally and Ictus. Minimal music of composers as Steve Reich, Philip Glass and Louis Andriessen, of grand importance for Maximalist!, were a reference point also for BL!NDMAN, certainly in the early days.

This trip down memory lane is not a matter of nostalgia: the music still sounds very up-to-date! Eric Sleichim en BL!NDMAN play this music as it should be: with full intensity and complete devotion.
