The Burning Sensations - the lost recordings!

A couple months ago while cleaning off the studio PC's hard drive I found some old Burning Sensations demo tracks that we probably recorded while preparing for a gig. The tracks are hardly perfect from a performance standpoint (they were recorded shortly after recruiting a new singer and bassist) and recording standpoint (everything was recorded live in a basement with minimal soundproofing). But with a little time invested in mixing & editing, they do provide a respectable "history" of the majority of our original tunes (and, more importantly, guitar solos!) that we had in early 2005.

Though all the tracks are cool in their own way, my personal favs (and some of the better performances, perhaps) are All Comes Down, Dots not Feathers, Goin' On, Majority, Stare, and Tonight.

Aside from the 3 tracks recorded at Group Effort, we never did any formal recording projects... when I moved into my current house, we switched practice locations to the bassist's workshop and never had easy access to the recording gear from then on. So at least there's some record of these tunes, imperfect as they may be.
