Pocket Revolution is the fourth studio album by dEUS. Released in 2005 it was their first album since The Ideal Crash (1999). Most of the original band members had left the group by this point, though some of their contributions are still present on some of the tracks. Craig Ward and Danny Mommens were replaced by guitarist Mauro Pawlowski (Evil Superstars) and bass player Alan Gevaert who completed the rest of the recording. Apart from the problems within the band the recording sessions were slowed down because Barman collaborated with CJ Bolland and his dance act Magnus and directed his first film Anyway the Wind Blows (2003).The album sold well and scored hits with the songs "Nothing Really Ends" note  already released on single in 2001 , "If You Don't Get What You Want" note  already released on single in 2004 , "What We Talk About (When We Talk About Love)," and "The Real Sugar."Pocket Revolution was re-released in 2006, complete with a bonus CD with seven songs from the album remixed by Jagz Kooner as Pocket Revolution Burnt.

New Sound Album

comment
New Sound Album: Pocket Revolution's sound was less experimental than their previous albums and provided the group with a more standard rock sound. The album also combined recordings from two different band line-ups. On some tracks Craig Ward and Danny Mommens play guitar and bass, on others their successors Mauro Pawlowski and Alan Gevaert fulfill these roles.

Shout-Out
 Pocket Revolution (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "Bad Timing" is a shout-out to the film Bad Timing (1980), which is lead singer Tom Barman's favorite film. He referenced the picture again in "Nothing Really Ends:" "Stop-Start Nature" references Arthurian Legend: "Sun Ra" is a reference to eccentric jazz musician Sun Ra, whose bust is also seen on the back cover. A quote by him can be heard throughout the beginning and the end of the song: "Include Me Out" has a quote lifted from a radio report about the launch of the first space rocket. "Cold Sun of Circumstance" was inspired by Bob Dylan, to whom Barman listened a lot while recording this album. "What We Talk About (When We Talk About Love)" is the title of a novel by Raymond Carver and was inspired by "Some Kind of Love" by The Velvet Underground from The Velvet Underground (1969).

Velvet Revolution: The album title was explained by lead singer Tom Barman as the changes everyone always plans to do, but are never all-changing, just in small doses. As he described it: "It's a revolution in pocket format." Originally the album title in progress was Used Future, referring to Barman's feelings of burn-out as most of his band colleagues had left the band at this point, except for him and Klaas Janszoons. But because friends and family members felt the title wasn't that snappy and reminded them too much of a Techno song they went for Pocket Revolution instead. The phrase "used future" can still be seen on the back cover, in the right below corner.
