context can be of utmost importance with regard to how music strikes a listener.  once upon a time a friendly local record store clerk might recommend you a cd, you might spend fifteen bucks on it, you'd take it home, and you'd listen to it again and again, wrapping your head around it along the way, working out whether you connected with this piece of art you held in your hands.  far be it from me to bemoan the passing of a bygone era.  the pros of the way things are now may in fact outweigh the cons.  still, at present, it seems that a little extra effort might be due to certain musicss beyond the casual couple of clicks.  virginia wing is just such a band.  what do they have to recommend them?  well, they make pop music in this day and age and their music conveys a certain intelligence, and that in and of itself is something of an accomplishment.  the tunes on this record may not be immediately catchy.  still, repeated listens promise to draw the listener in.  that is to say that their music contains more than what meets the ear at first listen.  if you saw this group performing on the street near a bus stop busking for spare change, you might buy their music, and they might just change your world.
