Comment: only the best words can I have to describe the compilation that encompasses the music under the Hidden Shoal Records from the last quarter 2006 and first quarter 2007. The 9-track miscellany meets mostly at the crossroads of sublime post-rock, baggy beat-driven dream pop/electronica, elating indie pop/rock, ethereally washing drone experimentalism, endlessly swelling ambient music and brooding guitar-based experimentations. The Garden Of Forking Paths was the second collection in the array of 5 ones issued to date. Here are represented the tracks by Dilatazione, The Hero Cycle, Sankt Otten, Colour Kane, Moongoat, My Majestic Star, Wes Willenbring, Tangled Star, Slow Dancing Society.
