VA The Hill Is Alive (CD)

The Hill Is Alive, the second label sampler from AK based Arch Hill Records, was released in 2003.

It features a range of artists from the label’s roster including Mestar, Fang, Ghostplane Minisnap and more.

Way impressive is the consistency of the music across so many different artists. Arch Hill has found it’s niche by digging out mostly dreamy, atmospheric oddball pop music and bringing it to a wider audience. It’s not often that a label is able to define itself by one type of music these days Marty Duda: Real Groove

Everything here is highly melodic and generally excellent**** Dan Morrow: Rip It Up

The whole album sounds a worthwhile and cohesive affair Russell Baillie: NZ Herald

The Hill Is Alive demands a listen from anyone interested in original, clever pop from a range of great Kiwi artists. 8/10 James Dann The Critic’
