_________________________________________________________________________________________________

An avant-garde collection of instrumentals - this album has a strong sense of free flowing melodies, synonymous with all Billy Currie’s work to date.

Delicate piano sounds introduce the title track, followed by an immediate sensation of drama before the track’s tuneful hook delivers its prominent power.

Throughout, Billy's top end piano notes gently engage some haunting ambience, particularly evident during 'Williams Mix',’ ‘Skips of a Chopped Head’ and ‘Krakow’. The latter shows contrast in that it also leaps and bounds in a rather joyous way, portraying certain elegance in its movement.

Matsang River’ flows as nicely as such a title would suggest. While ‘Folly Brook’ is consistent with its gentle violin sounds before building during its onward course. ‘Listening to Strength’ concludes this work, generates a spacious feeling, populated nicely with some highly emotive strings.

Accidental Poetry of the Structure’ is a superbly accurate title, representing an equally impressive collection of sensual and evocative compositions.
