Italian version
Ci sono dei dischi speciali che nascono per caso e forse, anche grazie a segrete dinamiche celesti. Cio' che rende detti dischi ancora piu' speciali avviene quando due artisti, appartenenti a due diversi macrocosmi musicali, riescono a sposare i loro rispettivi stili, facendoli confluire in un contesto comune dove possono applicare sperimentazioni musicali che unificano due mondi musicali diversi, facendoli diventare un tutt'uno.
Quale sia stata la molla che ha spinto a collaborare due celebrati artisti come il bassista, multi-strumentalista, produttore e compositore di colonne sonore cinematografiche italiano Gianni Maroccolo e il chitarrista australiano dei Bad Seeds, nonche' cantante, autore e frontman del gruppo Post-Punk The Wreckery, Hugo Race, a scrivere e registrare un disco in combutta chiamato The Vigil, non ci e' dato saperlo ma chiunque dei due avesse proposto questa collaborazione musicale, ci aveva visto davvero lungo sin dall'inizio.

The reasons can be many and, most importantly, subjective to not only the individual skills of an artist or a band, but also to their lifestyles and general attitudes in everyday's life.
