Erik Lazier & Friends
Attempts at Honesty

This is a compilation of various bits & pieces of music that I have written and recorded over the past 10 years or so in mp3 format. A warning up front: due to a variety of different recording conditions, the sound quality varies quite widely from track to track with a few dropouts & such here and there...basically, this is a collection of *demos* rather than anything prepared for any sort of release, and often sounds like it. ;) Any sort of constructive criticism or feedback (no pun intended) you might have to offer would be greatly appreciated, especially unvarnished first impressions – please email  delysid@bellsouth.net
