    Amazing from start till the end. It is filled with hidden gems such as Seven Hunters(my personal favorite), Vorka, Flight and more. I ll just keep listening to it for years to come.

    Firstly, I would urge people not to pay much attention to the "jazz" moniker, there is nothing in the slightest noodly about Archipelago.
    A review? Well, I could do no better (or even half as well as) Okayplayer's. My favourite track Reminder, exuberant, dark and with a beat you'll want to hear again and again.

    great album that i enjoy listening from the start to the end and the last song just closes it greatly (even though is quite short). is nice to hear bands that stands out from others and HO does that and blowing your ears if you let them.

    As the album unfolds you're drawn inexorably into a world of high quality music that deserves to be savoured, devoured, replayed and pored over, and above all, enjoyed.

    Hidden Orchestra occasionally skirt the borderline of cheese, but thankfully manage to stay on the right side of it, for the most part.

    As it stands, the rich resources Acheson has at his disposal are sadly compromised and the orchestra is indeed hidden rather than exposed.
