Our Quintet's Second Album -  Nov. 19, 2013
The quartet's sophomore album re-imagines exotica as a modern genre blending jazz, chamber music, and global sounds. Artistic Director Brian O'Neill highlights his latest originals (Music From Here) and interesting arrangements of classical and popular works (Music From There) such as Manuel de Falla's "Ritual Fire Dance," and Gershwin's "3 Piano Preludes."

"...a fascinating album...there is no band on the planet that sounds remotely like Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica..."
—LUCID CULTURE

"Best CDs of 2013"
—PANAMERIKA

"…extraordinarily enjoyable...new instruments, combined with O'Neill's rambunctious riffs on familiar tunes, fill this album with Easter eggs."
—THE CA MODERNIST / EICHLER NETWORK

"...absolutely amazing wherever you are..."
—INSIDE WORLD MUSIC

"...[the album is] certainly a must for exotica fans...."
—WORLD MUSIC CENTRAL

"I have a massive record collection-30,000 or so-and I can't recall a single album sounding this good. Fantastic!"
—KEVIN B, OWNER, STINGRAY RECORDS
