burn that word. ambient (2001). quiet music for not-so quiet times.

songs: ambient (there were drums, then there weren't, then some made an attempt to return), the sound of sleep (very long and flawed but we like it), every night (remake of 1990 song), where you are(originally recorded in 1989, then steve did a version in 1993, then josh did a version in 1994, and now we try again this way. steve on guitar this time), mr odd (simple song, simple arrangement), never walk alone (fan favorite; too bad we don't play live anymore b/ it was fun to play), haunted (another in the long line of instrumentals).

written, arranged, and produced by burn that word, except 5 written by pat fish (it's a jazz butcher song, of course) and 5 written by carl mullen (an old favorite by pittsburgh's carsickness).

basic tracks recorded in arlington, va during 2000. overdubs and mixing in pittsburgh, pa during 2000-2001. yes, it takes that long to mix music this good... digitally mixed and mastered using protools, sound edit 16, and toast.
