All Heaven Broke Loose is the third album by Bill Bruford’s Earthworks, featuring Django Bates, Iain Ballamy and Tim Harries. It was released on EG Records in 1991.

AllMusic awarded the album with 4.5 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: “Full of unpredictability, subtle mood changes, touches of eccentric funk and a surprisingly creative use of electronic rhythms here and there, Bruford’s band plays intense but sometimes melancholy and introspective music. Recommended”.
