The group's origins can be traced to David Torn's album Cloud About Mercury (1987) which featured the above-listed musicians, except with Mark Isham playing trumpet. Enjoying their musical chemistry, the performers kept in touch, and formed B.L.U.E. in the mid-1990s.

The band had very unusual sound with elements of blues, rock and ambient music. Bruford and Levin were both longtime members of King Crimson.

gollark: For some reason it did that the FIRST time, and now made this, which looks less good.
gollark: I'm trying to port a Haskell art generator program thing (https://github.com/TomSmeets/FractalArt/blob/master/src/Main.hs) to Rust and this... kind of works?
gollark: I see.
gollark: ... what do you mean "cast" spiders?
