So I just got home from an awesome night out, listened to AWVFTS on vinyl, and logged on to Twoism only to find this. Must be a sign...

I went to video art exhibition the other night, and AWVFTS were playing before the night began, spoke to the guy who was controlling the music, turns out he's a massive fan of everything I am a fan of. Love it when that happens.

At first I didn't think too much of this record. But now I listen to it daily, magical.

Brian Eno now on record as loving it too.

I really, really wish I had the money to buy a copy of this record.

Someone has created an absolutely beautiful video for "Requiem For The Static King, Part I" - https://vimeo.com/49155150

We just returned from the Edinburgh Film festival, and the European premier of "Breathe In" starring Guy Pearce, with an amazing cameo by Kyle MacLachlan. The film is stocked full of some new AWVFTS music + a few hits from the first record & tied all together with a lovely score by Dustin. If you like melodrama, and sleepy tunes, then good lord, please see it while you can....

Really incredible, Winged Victory is the only Stars of the Lid-connected thing that I haven't looked into properly yet, I feel that's about to change.

What I'm really after is some classical music similar to their stuff. I have some Arvo Pärt/Gorecki to listen to but any other suggestions are appreciated.

There are some excellent recommendations here: http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9484

Nice one, I hadn't seen that thread yet. It's funny because I stumbled across Stars of the Lid while looking for anything that sounded like Eno's An Ending (Ascent).

Been listening to the album this weekend.
The two blokes in your signature - they really don't do anything less than great.

^^^ Correct. Although strictly speaking ..Winged Victory is only one half of them :wink:

As to this London gig, I'll have to swerve this one as I'll be incommunicado in deepest, darkest Ireland on holiday. No internet or TV either. Scary :shock:

Aye, I know, but between them they've delivered at least five (now including this one) of the best albums I've listened to over the past few years. Geniuses.

Please do try and check them out live (see above). While they don't use the huge Luke Savisky visuals that SOTL do, they're still a fantastic experience live.

Unfortunately neither A Winged Victory, SoTL or The Dead Texan have played Belfast yet, or look likely to soon, but I can always hope. It's a real shame as there's quite a few arts and music festivals here that they'd be perfect for.

Their latest FB post says they've composed a new score for choreographer Wayne MacGregor to be performed at Sadler's Wells. See here http://thefourohfive.com/news/article/a-winged-victory-for-the-sullen-announce-uk-tour

Indeed so. And guess what? I'm back in time for those gigs.
Saturday night, 2x tickets booked.

Usual Twoism suspects, I'll see you there I'm sure :wink:
