One Squirt

   Another diverse compendium from the Cheese Mites!

   One Squirt opens with a Snufmeg Surf instrumental, "The Epoxy Generation", which explores the surf mode which has been a relatively common style throughout the Cheese Mites' career. This was first explicitly explored in "Ridin' the Waves", also found in this collection. However, as any long-term fan of the 'Mites is aware, pigeonholing them as "surf" simply misses the wide extent of stylistic journeys to which they, and Snufmeg in a larger sense, are known. It is precisely that adept multiplicity of modes which signifies the spirit of Snufmeg.

   To that point, found here also are the avant-garde examinations such as the cleverly-named "Avant Garde Adventure", "Interlude" and "Carlisle", intermixed with the pop classic "Psychedelic Journey" and instrumentals like "Mist" and "Machine Eleven".
   Recorded at least two of the classic Snufmeg recording haunts, the Glen Mills House & Augsburg Central Studios from the mid-1990's through 2015.
