What the label says:

In an era of pervasive lo-fi meandering and leaden, self-indulgent navel-gazing, Collections of Colonies of Bees sweep in grandly, as their name implies, in great, billowing swarms of sound, bourn aloft on a thousand wings of minuscule, elegant detail. In these extended instrumental tracks, guitars chime and soar, recalling the best campaigns of the guitar armies of both Glenn Branca and R hys Chatham; deft yet Intensely focused percussion propels towards an inevitable dawn; covering it all is a gossamer veil of subtly nuanced electronica. Birds is a joyous, expansive experience; crisp, clean, and clear; dappled in sunshine; mottled with dew; epic minimalism in exquisite registration. Thatís saying something. In our present musical climate of smoggy lassitude, Collections of Colonies of Bees are diligently producing a sound that is dazzling ñ and as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb. Dig in. "A fulfilling and well-rounded body of work." ó Vils M. DiSanto, incursion.org. "If you enjoy albums that are complex in nature, fairly abstract, and can be analyzed both thematically and musically, this should be right up your alley." ó Jeff C., adequacy.net. "An impeccable focus and flow, a well balanced mix between acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and a learned sense of time and space." ó Mark Weddle, brainwashed.com. "A pleasure to listen to, and eminently relistenable." ó Jeremy Keens, Ampersand Etcetera.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.

'Seriously, it was an Abba carrier bag.'
