Song History
This was the first single from the 1991 Mune Mud album Olympus. It was also the very first single released by Mune Mud.

"Etesian Wind" was the first song that had a real audience. Jason played it for family and friends before the album was released and most people really liked it. So it was naturally the first choice to become a single. And over the years, it is the Mune Mud song that has had the most alternate versions recorded. It wasn't until 1996 that Jason finally found out what Etesian wind is.

Track Breakdown
The first track is the version that appeared on the album. The original song was recorded a bit slower to better fit Jason's vocal range, but the tempo seemed to drag a little. So for the album the song was mixed down at a slightly higher speed.

The second track is the original speed at which the song was recorded.

The third track is the instrumental version of the album track.
