Hidden Wonders of Atrioventricular

The Hidden Wonders Of Atrioventricular is a currently unreleased 'back catalogue' of demos and tracks by UK band Atrioventricular, recorded between 2005 and 2006. It is unknown whether the band intend to re-record and release any of the tracks from this collection in the future.

The collection began life as a few songs newly made by band members Barno and Tommy, including "FSM (Fiendish Squirrel Man)", "Roadsweeper Tim" and "What Does Atrioventricular Mean?", but was gradually built into a collection of tracks/demos recorded by the band since its formation in September 2005. The collection also includes the only known Atrioventricular song featuring former member And Co-founder of the band, Josh Archibald, who plays the keyboard with Barno on "Freestyle Mayhem 453". The Hidden Wonders Of Atrioventricular contains unusually many tracks; 40.
