I’ve tried something a bit different this week for the Utopia Burns column. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the idea (not neccesarily the execution (I’ll get better, I promise)). For those of you not interested in hearing me talk about the tracks, you can find unedited versions below for your listening pleasure. Download the audio for Utopia Burns: That Sound.
