Album Notes & Community Reviews

The title of this ambitious progressive rock effort derives from a World War II ornithologist's recording, a snippet of which is effectively sampled within the album. Characterized by aggressive Moog synthesizer solos and complex instrumental interplay, the project stands as one of the Earth Band's most adventurous and cohesive musical statements.
