(July 2009) 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 a 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, nicely populated 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.
