Notes: 'Pensiveness' was our first self released cassette only ep. Intended more for demo purposes, it has never been released on CD. Under 200 copies total were ever circulated. The tracks are similar to the versions as released on the full length Vida CD (1995) but are different in many ways. This is a pretty good representation of what the early 'Hurley-Period' Vida sounded like.
The 'Bonus Tracks' were recorded at my apartment in Pasadena California a week apart from one another. Hey Wilma was recorded while a truly fierce electrical storm was whipping itself up outside the apartment, and you can hear the static and interference from time to time. The demos are NOT release quality, but are included here more for historical perspective.
Hope you like the stuff.
