We say

We first featured this from New York based multimedia artist Fredo Viola back in January 2005 when we called it "a quite unique bit of music, somewhere between Oh Superman and Aqualung, accompanied by a really clever and unusual video". Since then he has collaborated with Massive Attack and had this track featured on US TV shows, notably the last series of The O.C. and CSI: Miami. We're glad to see it's getting a deserved full release with his debut EP on the Because label next month. A beautiful and striking song with a video that is still something to marvel at. His debut album The Turn is due for release in early 08. JF
