Secret Gardens is, as always, an ambitious project made of different influences. The Wimshurst's Machine tries always to make more than just "a good track", always works in the album as an artistic opera in itself and here we are: Secret Gardens melts the sexy, tasty chill out mood typical of the band with two major suites of tracks who are like two symphonie" made of different sounds: "Moonshadows" is an ambient suite in 5 parts, where the story is told in a more "Brian Eno style" than the opening tracks. If also in previous albums the classical influences where appearing at times, here the last 7 tracks of the album are, as a matter of fact, classical or heavily influenced by the classical music style. "Secret Garden" is a suite who melts all the works the band made with a classical taste.
Most of those tracks are excerpt from movies or documentaries where they were used as soundtrack (that TWM scored of course).

120 minutes of delightfully seductive music
author: Tony Lawson
"Secret Garden" is the latest in a growing line of ambitious projects by The Wimshurst's Machine and brings the ensemble's total number of original studio album releases to 4 in the six year period since the founding of the group. In this new release the novelty factors are a number of prestigious collaborations with such artists as Corrado Rossi, Sally Cooper, William O'Connell, Harry Tarnecky, and the presence of two major "symphonic" suites: "Moonshadows" and "Secret Garden". "Moonshadows" is a five-track ambient suite in a style declaredly influenced by the great Brian Eno, while "Secret Garden" is a seven-track suite with overt classical overtones. These two suites make up a considerable porportion of the album's total runtime and include many excerpts from original TWM film and documentary soundtracks, an area in which the band has always been very active. "Secret Garden" comprises 20 tracks and 120 minutes of delightfully seductive music, dominated by ambient atmospheres but with noteworthy elements of classical, world, rock and jazz.
