DJ Compilation Of The Month: Bethany's Fly On The Wall

For her 2005 Marathon CD, Bethany paid tribute to the segmented eyeball set. Here's how she described it back then:

"A collection of sonic emissions from the insect kingdom and the humans who imitate them. Highlight include hypnotic cicada choruses, cacophonous swarms of bees, the peculiar similarities between crickets and electronics and a thrilling (but tragic) sonic tour of a day in the life of a fly. 800,000 species can't be wrong!"
