I believe that a balance has been found and the expression remains the same but seems different because of generalisation. It is a very intense and passionate musical expression that seems to know it's boundaries, regardless of manner of delivery, and sticks to it's guns.
I also agree that the album is one piece, so to speak, the flow is almost seamless and beautific. It is capable of lifting you up with the electronic side and piano, but also bring you back to earth, actually because of the distortion, i.e. relationship to microphone and piano. I feel that adds to its cohesiveness and reality as a moving set of tracks, obviously constructed with care and dedication to an expression of individualism. A thorough talent is a rare occurrence.
It is "good minimalist work", but I wouldn't like to limit such a talent to any particular form of instrumentalism, unless it was a didgeridoo!-) Nice album, thanks.
