Best Band Ever!!!
I've only just seen this talented group of musicians, but I can say without any hesitation or doubt, they are one of the most wonderful bands in the world!
Kudos to the director and also the sound engineer. As a producer myself, I'd like to know which mic he used to record the violins. The drum kit was mic'd in an interesting way and, overall, the group were well represented individually. Most amazing music, Chiefs! Well done. One expected Jimmy Page to walk in and take a solo!

Must See
This is a great video for musicians, especially musicians interested in the unique blending of different musical forms. If you're intrigued by new approaches to music, then Secret Chiefs 3 is a band for you.
When I listen to the Chiefs, I'm so swept away to magical and foreign landscapes that it's hard to realize sometimes that there are actually musicians sitting together in a room making music. I'd like to see more videos of these guys working together.
