Press Release 1 London 1982	Operation Twilight would like to announce the instigation of its activities in Great Britain. Formed on St. Patrick's Day, our first release shall be an album by Tuxedomoon, comprising their soundtrack to the Maurice bejart ballet "Divine", based on the life of Greta Garbo. This is scheduled for the last week in May. Following "Divine" will be a 7" single by Parisian 3-piece Antena, guests on the "North to South Dialogue" Crepuscule tour. The A side is entitled "The Boy From Ipanema" and is a variation on the Amba produced by John Foxx (2nd week in June). Paul Haig is at this moment recording in Brussels, and Operation Twilight is bringing out a 12" version of this marvellous "Justice", surely a future No.1. Virginia Astley realises an ambition to record a solo LP, a collection of piano pieces backed by various non-human voices. The release date for this shall be the 5th of July. Lastly, The French Impressionists would like you to know of their 3-track 7" of 50s-style modern music played by attractive, competent musicians which should be available on Twilight quite soon.
