Details: Amazon.ca Shakespeare once penned a memorable line about “sound and fury signifying nothing.” In the case of Windsor’s Neverending White Lights, sound and fury signifies the dramatic, orchestral instrumental opening of their sophomore album Act ll: the blood and the life eternal. Act ll features a rotating lineup of lead singers (including Hawksley Workman and Auf Der Maur) emoting along to the weighty tunes of Victor, music that engages in strong '80s and '90's alterna-rock leanings: “Always” could seamlessly fit onto Smashing Pumpkins’ Gish, “Black Is the Colour of My True Love’s Heart” sounds straight out of the Dead Can Dance handbook and “Dove Coloured Sky” is uncomfortably close to a number of David Sylvian tunes. While the singers change, there is one constant throughout... a goth-affected solemnity that is at times too wrought for its own good. Then again, what else would you expect from a man who names his choral group the Holy Trinity Vampire Choir? --Denise Sheppard Product Description Daniel Victor’s Neverending White Lights emerged in September 2005 with the release of Act 1: Goodbye Friends Of The Heavenly Bodies. Led by the tremendous chart success of “The Grace,” the album yielded three videos, a gold digital download, numerous award nominations (2006 Juno Award for Best New Artist; 2006 CASBY Awards for Favourite New Artist, New Single, and Indie Release; 2006 MMVA for Best Independent Video) and the 2007 Canadian Radio Music Award for Best New Group (Rock). After 18 months of non-stop promotion, Daniel returned to the studio. Once again recorded and mixed in Daniel’s home, Act 2: The Blood And The Life Eternal continues NWL’s musical journey. Featuring a new cast of guest vocalists including Auf der Maur and Rob Dickinson of Catherine Wheel, Act 2 revisits and expands the vivid sonic landscape created by Daniel Victor’s epic writing, performance, and production.
