Best album ever heard for ages, pure beauty, so inspiring in so many ways. This orchestra is well hidden, as a treasure to be found. I feel so lucky to have finally discovered it!
I am currently writing in my diary about a crush of mine and the past night we spent together. I am 10 pages in. Still not done. I found this album by pure accident, eventhough I do listen to trip hop and jazz. This, especially "Spoken" is perfect for tonight. I am rereading what I have written and reliving the beautiful moments we spent together. I still cannot believe it happened. Was it a dream? Shall I wake myself up and continue to live my dreams of us....No...this was reality...but a dreamy one... Thank you for this music. It helps me feel and recall these moments even more...
The fact that these music isn't just perfect but also hidden for the people with amazing taste in music is something special... I honestly feel so good that I found a hidden treasure of music that'll probably be in my life forever.
This record and especially this group in general have basically dominated my recent musical life. Towering talents on so many levels and each record is distinctive sounding even in terms of the recordings themselves.
If you haven't already check out The Cinematic Orchestra! they are quite similar but distinctly different as Cinematic is more 'organic' sounding.. they've been at it since '99 so lots to choose from! www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DE5ipENstc_I&ved=2ahUKEwjw0_ftiJflAhVSAWMBHT7XDIs4ChCjtAEwBXoECAEQDQ&usg=AOvVaw0axfbPu9cGY9OG12uipZWN
Since the discovery of Hidden orchestra about 5 years ago, they changed my way of thinking with a way difficult to discribe, i think they have so much potential to show us in the future, whoever is behind the thought of this creation i wish them all the best for this masterpiece.
Was exploring the youtube recommendations, saw that in the right corner of the screen. I was like "oh, not another very tricky experimental album of the pile..." Oh my... I don't regret clicking on this one. This is such an awesome combination of colors and textures, I really hope that they have more albums just as delightfull as this one.
....... what can i even say about this .... this.... masterpiece. it touches on every level of existence and it doesn't shy away from the darkness. beyond amazing. i am in awe.
Un album joyau, qui ne peut laisser indifférent la sensibilité mélomane. A noter qu'il vient de paraître à nouveau (en version Source Materials), les thèmes musicaux demeurant, mais sous une forme retravaillée, moins jazz comme rythmique...et tout aussi magnifique
Though three men dwell on Flannan Isle To keep the lamp alight, As we steer'd under the lee, we caught No glimmer through the night! A passing ship at dawn had brought The news; and quickly we set sail, To find out what strange thing might all The keepers of the deep-sea light. The winter day broke blue and bright, With glancing sun and glancing spray, As o'er the swell our boat made way, As gallant as a gull in flight. But, as we near'd the lonely Isle; And look'd up at the naked height; And saw the lighthouse towering white, With blinded lantern, that all night Had never shot a spark Of comfort through the dark, So ghastly in the cold sunlight It seem'd, that we were struck the while With wonder all too dread for words. And, as into the tiny creek We stole beneath the hanging crag, We saw three queer, black, ugly birds-- Too big, by far, in my belief, For guillemot or shag-- Like seamen sitting bold upright Upon a half-tide reef: But, as we near'd, they plunged from sight, Without a sound, or spurt of white. And still too mazed to speak, We landed; and made fast the boat; And climb'd the track in single file, Each wishing he was safe afloat, On any sea, however far, So it be far from Flannan Isle: And still we seem'd to climb, and climb, As though we'd lost all count of time, And so must climb for evermore. Yet, all too soon, we reached the door-- The black, sun-blister'd lighthouse door, That gaped for us ajar. As, on the threshold, for a spell, We paused, we seem'd to breathe the smell Of limewash and of tar, Familiar as our daily breath, As though 'twere some strange scent of death: And so, yet wondering, side by side, We stood a moment, still tongue-tied: And each with black foreboding eyed The door, ere we should fling it wide, To leave the sunlight for the gloom: Till, plucking courage up, at last, Hard on each other's heels we pass'd Into the living-room. Yet, as we crowded through the door, We only saw a table, spread For dinner, meat and cheese and bread; But all untouch'd; and no one there: As though, when they sat down to eat, Ere they could even taste, Alarm had come; and they in haste Had risen and left the bread and meat: For on the table-head a chair Lay tumbled on the floor. We listen'd; but we only heard The feeble cheeping of a bird That starved upon its perch: And, listening still, without a word, We set about our hopeless search. We hunted high, we hunted low, And soon ransack'd the empty house; Then o'er the Island, to and fro, We ranged, to listen and to look In every cranny, cleft or nook That might have hid a bird or mouse: But, though we searched from shore to shore, We found no sign in any place: And soon again stood face to face Before the gaping door: And stole into the room once more As frighten'd children steal. Aye: though we hunted high and low, And hunted everywhere, Of the three men's fate we found no trace Of any kind in any place, But a door ajar, and an untouch'd meal, And an overtoppled chair. And, as we listen'd in the gloom Of that forsaken living-room-- O chill clutch on our breath-- We thought how ill-chance came to all Who kept the Flannan Light: And how the rock had been the death Of many a likely lad: How six had come to a sudden end And three had gone stark mad: And one whom we'd all known as friend Had leapt from the lantern one still night, And fallen dead by the lighthouse wall: And long we thought On the three we sought, And of what might yet befall. Like curs a glance has brought to heel, We listen'd, flinching there: And look'd, and look'd, on the untouch'd meal And the overtoppled chair. We seem'd to stand for an endless while, Though still no word was said, Three men alive on Flannan Isle, Who thought on three men dead.
hey Rafa you might like my project Scaphoid. Look up the EP Dies Mercurii on UA-cam. Kind of short but I am recording a full album. If you like Hidden Orchestra and Porcupine tree I promise you'll dig it.
@@friesiamans1966 I was just thinking that "Vorka" gave off strong "Machinarium" vibes when I read this comment… And yet that game's composer is Tomáš Dvořák, a.k.a. Floex, who appears to have nothing to do with Hidden Orchestra. I actually found out about this album through BBC Radio 3's "Night Tracks".
i often thought that then i stumbled across this documentry. Norman Ackroyd - What do artists do all day.? i am certain its the same artist. he produces them using etchings on copperplates the film shows the process from start to finish of him producing a piece. he specializes in coastal landscapes of the British archipelago. possibly inspired the name of the album or vice versa
fully agreed - i was lucky to have times when it happened almost daily, haha - i came here from the music hidden orchestra made for the game "creaks" (i think also for "machinarium"), which is also very beautiful and pleasant to listen to... love the drummer, he´s amazing... cheers from germany 🙋♂️
i find the drummer amazing - if i´m not mistaken, this way of juxtapositioning fast or even very fast drumming to smooth relaxed layers of sounds came up with jungle during the 90s - love it! yay, greetings from germany 🙋♂️
6 years on and it's still one of the most amazing musical pieces in the world. What a masterpice!
Best album ever heard for ages, pure beauty, so inspiring in so many ways. This orchestra is well hidden, as a treasure to be found. I feel so lucky to have finally discovered it!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
there is more out there m8 try to find solid still mix enjoy:)
I can feel born again. Or, finally born after discovering this hidden gem. Will have this in my playlist forever.
I feel the same

The fact that these music isn't just perfect but also hidden for the people with amazing taste in music is something special... I honestly feel so good that I found a hidden treasure of music that'll probably be in my life forever.
I keep coming back to this album. Each time I take a journey.
sophisticated, funky and jazzy all at the same time. It takes on a mystical journey right from my arm chair. This is the stuff dreams are made of!
This record and especially this group in general have basically dominated my recent musical life. Towering talents on so many levels and each record is distinctive sounding even in terms of the recordings themselves.
Absofuckinlutly I agree with you. But still "Hidden" of course and that very special.
Music can change your mind to the good or bad, its your choose
If you haven't already check out The Cinematic Orchestra! they are quite similar but distinctly different as Cinematic is more 'organic' sounding.. they've been at it since '99 so lots to choose from!

These are great! Similar to my beloved Bonobo. This type/genre is my absolute favourite. So broad & experimental that almost anything can happen..
Jordan West same same buddy
bitch do you even prog?
The UA-cam Algorithm has provided such a blessing. Definitely going to be delving through these guys' discography the next few days
Was exploring the youtube recommendations, saw that in the right corner of the screen. I was like "oh, not another very tricky experimental album of the pile..."

They certainly do... you can check them all out here hiddenorchestra.bandcamp.com/
@@Tru_Thoughts Thank you!!
This is simply amazing! Three cheers from Novi Sad 2024!
reminds of the kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble - you wanna check that out trust me
Kilimanjaro has weird cohesion, hidden orcherstra leads you to higher levels
ok, i try thanks
@@NikosPer Killimanjaro is one of the best things that happened in the history of music. For me anyways
Just thought that and saw your comment) it's like the mix of Kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble and bonobo)
@@NikosPer did gave an ear for their (compiled) live album « I forsee the Dark ahead, if I stay » ? I find their cohesion outstanding
....... what can i even say about this .... this.... masterpiece. it touches on every level of existence and it doesn't shy away from the darkness. beyond amazing. i am in awe.
This is so next level.
Only a few seconds in and the goose bumps are already here !
Love it! My go-to music when I really need to concentrate and get some work done.
💕💕💕 My favorite album from this outfit. Can’t wait to hear them live. So many good feels 💕💕💕
Amazing work honestly top ten albums for me
How in the sweet f*** can this amazing album have only 56,000 views
So much creativity it hurts...... As in, this is unbelievably good.

Genius !!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant !!!!!!!!
This is super enjoyable.
wow what a piece of art thank you
glad I found "Vorka" on a random trip hop compilation, it's like emancipator but more instrumental then electronic
Очень очаровательная музыка!
Though three men dwell on Flannan Isle
To keep the lamp alight,
As we steer'd under the lee, we caught
No glimmer through the night!
A passing ship at dawn had brought
The news; and quickly we set sail,
To find out what strange thing might all
The keepers of the deep-sea light.
The winter day broke blue and bright,
With glancing sun and glancing spray,
As o'er the swell our boat made way,
As gallant as a gull in flight.
But, as we near'd the lonely Isle;
And look'd up at the naked height;
And saw the lighthouse towering white,
With blinded lantern, that all night
Had never shot a spark
Of comfort through the dark,
So ghastly in the cold sunlight
It seem'd, that we were struck the while
With wonder all too dread for words.
And, as into the tiny creek
We stole beneath the hanging crag,
We saw three queer, black, ugly birds--
Too big, by far, in my belief,
For guillemot or shag--
Like seamen sitting bold upright
Upon a half-tide reef:
But, as we near'd, they plunged from sight,
Without a sound, or spurt of white.
And still too mazed to speak,
We landed; and made fast the boat;
And climb'd the track in single file,
Each wishing he was safe afloat,
On any sea, however far,
So it be far from Flannan Isle:
And still we seem'd to climb, and climb,
As though we'd lost all count of time,
And so must climb for evermore.
Yet, all too soon, we reached the door--
The black, sun-blister'd lighthouse door,
That gaped for us ajar.
As, on the threshold, for a spell,
We paused, we seem'd to breathe the smell
Of limewash and of tar,
Familiar as our daily breath,
As though 'twere some strange scent of death:
And so, yet wondering, side by side,
We stood a moment, still tongue-tied:
And each with black foreboding eyed
The door, ere we should fling it wide,
To leave the sunlight for the gloom:
Till, plucking courage up, at last,
Hard on each other's heels we pass'd
Into the living-room.
Yet, as we crowded through the door,
We only saw a table, spread
For dinner, meat and cheese and bread;
But all untouch'd; and no one there:
As though, when they sat down to eat,
Ere they could even taste,
Alarm had come; and they in haste
Had risen and left the bread and meat:
For on the table-head a chair
Lay tumbled on the floor.

The feeble cheeping of a bird

But, though we searched from shore to shore,

Of the three men's fate we found no trace
Of any kind in any place,
But a door ajar, and an untouch'd meal,
And an overtoppled chair.
And, as we listen'd in the gloom
Of that forsaken living-room--
O chill clutch on our breath--
We thought how ill-chance came to all
Who kept the Flannan Light:
And how the rock had been the death
Of many a likely lad:
How six had come to a sudden end
And three had gone stark mad:
And one whom we'd all known as friend
Had leapt from the lantern one still night,
And fallen dead by the lighthouse wall:
And long we thought
On the three we sought,
And of what might yet befall.

And the overtoppled chair.

Why the Flannan Isle quote?
Interesting
'Vorka' 25:15 reminded me a bit of porcupine tree 's 'lips of ashes' , and bass communion's '43553E99.01' . still awesome
hey Rafa you might like my project Scaphoid. Look up the EP Dies Mercurii on UA-cam. Kind of short but I am recording a full album. If you like Hidden Orchestra and Porcupine tree I promise you'll dig it.
hey , i'll check it out , sure. nice choice of a name for your project !
Thanks Rafa. I got that name when I broke my Scaphoid wrist bone and couldn't play metal anymore lol.
that's what I thought ! went on checking your EP , nice work ! can't wait for the full album
Thank you :)
Excellent Theramin!
Emitting essences!!!
I can’t find a word. Merveilleux !
So you did find it
Thank you for sharing this....relaxing and stimulating at the same time.Digable & livable,
Oh my God this Madeleine de Proust. Absolute masterpiece of an album.
very nice,,,, the orb,,, future sound of london... up there own style :)
OMG, Hushed, so wtf great and beyond
just discovered this, instantly turned to a fan
Don't stand too close, you'll hurt yourself.
سعيد جداُ اني وجدت هذي الفرقة الموسيقية الرائعة. عرفتهم عن طريق لعبة Creaks !
Love love love this album!
Thanks .
I wonder how many times the melody for Disquiet peaks it's pretty face into this album.
what a gem
Cosmic!
@32:40 Fantastic!
bittersweet
"Spoken" is ace!
Their music forces me to forget my "life".
Everyone should check out "The Cinematic Orchestra" if you dig this music
and Bonobo (till about 2012). and Amin Tobin
try St Germain
yep, i just thought i have to recommend this to a good friend of mine who´s a long time fan of the cinematic orchestra... :-)
Amazing 😄
I wish I were here for all the time
EPIC
Great music to stretch in the morning!
Magnificent stew, casserole pour vous.
name checks out
Reminder at 31:06 sounds straight like from an espionage movie. All in all awesome album.
Very same reaction here. The perfect soundtrack for Man from U.N.C.L.E.
they made music for games, this is where i got to know them... :-)
35:07 onward sounds like "El Cargo" from Splinter Cell Chaos Theory soundtrack by Amon Tobin
I love Tobin...
I never realized he did that sound track
well Spoken sounds like old-school Amon Tobin
every single song of his should made into a soundtrack of a movie
they made soundtracks for games as "machinarium" or "creaks" - that´s where i came from right now, haha... :-)
@@friesiamans1966 I was just thinking that "Vorka" gave off strong "Machinarium" vibes when I read this comment… And yet that game's composer is Tomáš Dvořák, a.k.a. Floex, who appears to have nothing to do with Hidden Orchestra.

Flight sounds like it should be in the Age of Empires 4 soundtrack
AOE4 is coming !
37:04
Who paints these album covers? They're great.
i often thought that then i stumbled across this documentry.
Norman Ackroyd - What do artists do all day.?
i am certain its the same artist. he produces them using etchings on copperplates the film shows the process from start to finish of him producing a piece.
he specializes in coastal landscapes of the British archipelago. possibly inspired the name of the album or vice versa
You're right. The artwork is created by the father of Hidden Orchestra-member Poppy Ackroyd, Norman Ackroyd
talented family
instantly my thoughts when i saw it
Great artist,great music.
Sounds like Kitaro, Yanni, Vangellis, Rick Wakeman, Triumvirat.... I like song like this...
Great suggestion, UA-cam.
22:00 teremim ou vocal ?
Big Cinema feeling.I do agree to Jordan(Bonobo),but this stuff is more eclectic
I found this while looking for the gulag, This is great.
Nice!
If you like this try;
l'apocalypse des animaux by Vangelis Papathanassiou

50:40 8) Fourth Wall
it's right there in the description
Good lord up on high I'm MORTIFIED I haven't heard this afore.....I shall delve much much deeper in to the genius of this creation.
5:38 Unmute da bass!
7 hunters reminds me, don't ask me why, Commander Yanmark's theme from Megaman X6. Kk, keep scrolling.
Believe it or not, but I thought exactly the same thing!! Megaman X6 was part of my childhood :P
How does this get thumbs down??
Never give in to the rest when the rest can’t see what’s best friends
