To fix the problem with the totally messed up tag situation, click on the song title and look in the right hand side of the song page, about midway down, just underneath the "recent activity" box there is the question "Is this track name wrong or misspelt? Suggest a correction." click on that and then click on the button that says for example "Efrim Manuel Menuck - chikadees' roar pt. 2 should be corrected to:" and then click on the correct song title that somebody has kindly set up for you.

What a great surprise to discover this. First learned of it on Friday, ordered it on Sunday, arrived today. Reminds me of a more experimental version of He Has Left Us.
