Tiny Waves, Mighty Sea

Future Pilot AKA is Sushil K. Dade, along with a loose group approach, which features, at different moments, most of Belle & Sebastian, The Delgados, Teenage Fanclub, The Pastels and Bill Wells Trio, in an upfliting and heady atmosphere. Sushil, himself a proud Glaswegian of Indian ethnic origin, guides the way through this selection of Indian Spirituals, song cycles and chants, including the beautiful 'Om Namah Shivaya' with it's Stuart Murdoch vocals and on "Ananda Is The Ocean,' where Vinita, Dade, Katrina Mitchell, and Isobel Campbell sing as one. Other times the music will spiral into free-form ragas, like on 'Darshan' and 'Opel Waters', where the listener may be reminded of The Byrds and other West Coast experimentalists.
