Adam Rauf - Time is of the Essence (2005)
Due to recent requests for me to post up my solo record (which is no longer for sale), I've decided to throw up this mini-page with my old album. The only benefit to getting the real CD is that I drew weird art/text on each one, individually, and numbered them [not to mention the origami paper CD case, which I'm linking here anyway]. The directions on how to fold it are here. This was a limited run of I think 50 CD's which I sold on a sliding scale donation for $2-5, with all of the proceeds going to the Red Cross (right after Hurricane Katrina) and LiNK (Liberty in North Korea). I had plenty of CDR's lying around, so I didn't really even think about recouping those costs. It was a lot of fun making this album with my friends, and was a challenge for me to record and put out something in a limited span of time [just under two months].
Total runtime is 77:10. Track 14, "Raga in Dha Komal" also appears on Rob Wallace's solo record, Kicking Out the Bottom (2005).

* = This was a spoken word dialogue, and you'll be like, "I don't hear anyone else?" It was kind of ludicrous, but since I'm such a big fan of Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), exactly 42 seconds after the track ends is the bonus section that features Rob & Lucy.
I usually hate when people want to describe songs in detail (very singer/songwritery), but I'm sure some of you guys are like "WTF is this about?" So I'll put that on a separate page here.
