Ulytau are brilliant. I've been spreading the word about them.
Atay, Aday, Ataia, whoever, is barely known but as I have dug around I've found that he had tall tales attached to him - how he lassoed the King of Istria, for instance. So because it's nice to see a hero through someone else's eyes I've invented a somewhat baffled Greek metal worker who can interact with him [in all kinds of ways] for about 60 years. It'll be a LOT of writing though.
When I watched the video I actually squeaked with surprise because last year I wrote this:
The little horses broke into a scrabbling gallop and Anatolios clung on to the rider, wincing as his groin was driven against the wooden framework of the saddle. He frowned, puzzled, as the leader of the troop raised his bow over his head, string uppermost, and swept it from side to side. The bunched horsemen immediately began to spread out, the furthermost riding forward until their line arced across the plain like the horns of an ox.
It was nice to see it in action. I'll have to get that film.
