From the interview above:

'Adam: The film is in the toilet. It became a nightmare. One of the filmmakers lost his mind and started stalking us. Great trailers do not always translate into great films, as we obviously see here. As far as a new SOTL record, only the shadow knows…'

WTF. That is very strange.

Anyway, I am not concerned about the lack of knowledge about new SOTL. They have already hinted recently that it is coming along.

That's a real shame about the movie. I had some correspondence a few years ago with both Adam and also Zakk, the guy making the movie. There was a noticeable difference of opinion about their level of involvement. Hmmmm.

"Great trailers do not always translate into great films".

Pity, it was a great trailer.

Been listening to both albums a huge amount lately. The debut is still unequivocally my favourite, but there are many parts in Atomos which are extremely beautiful. There is a particular track later on in the album that just made me dizzy with euphoria, I felt like I was passing out...

Anyone else feel like their work is ground-breaking? They are an instant classic for me, and it feels like a very natural extension of SOTL circa 'their refinement'. I can't wait for the new SOTL release, because they were already in 'refinement' moving towards a fusion of classical and ambient, and now it will likely be even more so because of this project (though of course at a slower pace).

I can't praise Wiltzie and everyone who he works with enough.

The show tonight the Royal Albert Hall, with Nils Frahm, is being shown live on the BBC iPlayer and red button. Believe it will be available for 30 days too. You lucky people!

Off to catch the train. Hoping the tube strike doesn't fuck this up!

Amazing show. AWVFTS incredible as usual, and Nils blew us away in the second half.

Absolutely terrific. Just a shame it wasn't a full-blown set by each of them, an hour and a quarter seemed a tad mingey. Love the crossover piece between AWVFS & Nils Frahm. Didn't recognise it at all, anyone?

I think it was a piece they'd written especially for the occasion, I remember reading somewhere. And yeah, an hour each would've been nicer.

Correct. Written specifically for last night. Managed to sneak a 20 sec video from our box right about the right side of the stage. Will upload later once I'm home and not using train WIFI.

Nils Frahm bossed it, incredible musician. Great gig despite the London travel chaos!

It's on iplayer if anyone wants to watch it again.
