A Cheese Mite Floats By

   The nineteen track "A Cheese Mite Floats By" compiles material recorded from 1995-2015, focusing exclusively on the Universal Snufmeg era and paradigm. Leading with "Another Day without You", the mode is set with a "throwback" lo-fi recording of haunting sparseness. Although details are sketchy, rumors indicate the song was recorded during the same session as "Is This Drum and Bass?" and "Five Dog Trail" (found on "A Snufmeg Fantasie in Broken Parts") at the Brooke Lane studios. 
   "Cyclone" is an early entry, from approximately 2012, in the Snufmeg Surf era, along with "Gorilla Me Timbers", captured at the Glen Mills House studio. "Monsta Bass" bass follows; another dance floor hit recorded at Augsburg Central, produced by DJ Williwill, wherein he deftly cuts in the signature motif of "Andalusian Holiday".
   "What Have I Done?" belies the 1995 liner notes start date. The overall style and sound are reminiscent of Lyle Studios sound. 

   "Singer", which provided the bridge for Raw Mommies "Cell Boy", "The Prevailing Mood and Tenor of Contemporary Thinkers" and "Corrugation Motif" all were from the same session at Glen Mills House studios. 

   Although Williwill's meticulous production of "Eight Arms to Hold You" and Johnny B Dub's rawer "My Girlfriend" achieved chart-topping attention, the stand-out hit is "Somewhat Like a Rolling Stone" led by Williwill's signature songwriting gift and production.

   Interspersed are Cheese Mites forays into quintessential avant-garde compositions such as "Clarinet Piano Generator" and "Etude in 6 Parts".
