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." Heath "Albers, Brian" wrote:
