hey by the way...

i just went for a coffee and made a stop at Wal-mart to try and find the Across the Universe soundtrack (a miserable failure, but a girl can hope can't she!) ...

but i was tided over when i accidentally came across The Alchemy Index and Act II of Neverending White Lights.

i came across Act I of NWL two Octobers ago when elsa, lissy, and i stopped in at an HMV after imagining an entire storyline that coincided eerily with the track listing / concept of the mysterious album which we immediately asked the HMV girl to crack open and let us listen to. i was equally, if not more, interested in the liner notes as the album itself, and i find myself in a similar state with Act II (i am limited to lyrics and liner notes until 5pm as my stereo at the shop doesn't work).

all this to tell you:
daniel victor is an interesting chap, and you should buy these albums, because even if you disagree with me over the storyline/character/artistic journey aspect of the whole thing, i found Act I (and expect to find Act II) to be a deliciously haunting and soothing soundtrack to winter sleeps and night drives.
