Anouran Love Songs

I have been fascinated by frogs since I can remember, either trying to catch them as a child or listening in awe to their haunting and mysterious songs. As a teenager I had terrariums at home with reptiles and frogs, many of them tropical. One of my first recordings was croaking toads, captured on a monophonic reel-to-reel tape recorder whilst I held the almost certainly scared toad in my palm, and in another recording making accompanying sounds with a rusted chain. Some years later I was listening to nocturnal choruses of frogs on the edge of a lake in Southern Czechie, blended with sounds from a camp-fire.
