Um, um, um, hold on, down, Jon, please don't flame Marek before I have a
chance to point out that *I* claimed--or, to be more precise,
asked--"percussion and voice."  To clear up that confusing sentence: I had
the impression from the first single that the album had minimalist
instrumentation, and wanted to know whether that was correct.  See careted
line above.

Whew.  I hope that's done it.
