I can certainly see where you're coming from, Brian. It should be noted that
the sparseness of the compositions on Voile make it seem to exist way outside
the usual lush Bola environment (hence the different name and label for this
project), but that there are definite moments of Darrell Fitton-ness on every
track. I've checked the CD for a couple days now and I'm still warming up to
it. My initial impression is that this album is more consistent in its tone and
emotional range than either Soup or Fyuti. That's not a pejorative statement,
just a quick observation.
I do, however, like his use of piano. For some reason, it evokes in me the same
feeling as the brief almost-accidental piano bit at the very end of Joy
Division's "The Eternal."
