Wonderful. I had a smile going in the first few seconds.

Listened a couple of times and got the feeling there was a large amount of work involved. But you have also incorporated your distinct sound style.

Did you collect any of the samples yourself?

This is really creative! ...glad to see that you're still at it! :]

This is absolutely oh my goodness. By which I mean, Oh my goodness me!

This track is made solely from the calls and songs of summer migrants birds to the UK. 

The percussion is Whinchat, Wheatear, Sedge Warbler and Grasshopper Warbler. 

The fluity, synthy and bassy notes are all sampled notes of Blackcap and Garden warbler song.

There is also Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin, Tree Pipit, Spotted flycatcher, Swift and Cuckoo.

I  heard my first yesterday -  a Chiffchaff - always a highlight of the year for me - so this is to celebrate their arrival on my 'patch' - these are species that will be arriving over the next weeks. Blog: http://robymilling.blogspot.co.uk

 "This album sounds like it came out of an enchanted mechanical device built from odds and ends, which has somehow acquired consciousness, emotion, and a sense of humour."

"Everything dances with life, like a BBC wildlife documentary soundtrack that has been re-composed by it's subjects."

"Not only is Squinancywort's music excellent and always interesting, but I have a surprising amount of evidence that he is in fact the one true messiah, who will free us from pain and suffering forever, if we only worship him unquestioningly, and shower him with praise and gifts." (http://soundcloud.com/mr-dodo)

"Squinancywort makes sounds that hum, whistle and devour themselves in one relentless forward motion.... vast, ominous and throbbing, - grows in a way that could only be through the interference of a creator (divine or otherwise)."
“Squinancywort’s sound seems full of shuffling oddities and half observed nooks and corners”
“Wonderfully off-kilter electronica with an organic edge”
