It's just bad coincidence. Obviously Hollywood Recs. wanted the most
recent (at the time of the distribution deal) releases, so that's what
they got.

Actually, I think Jan Kincaid's voice is cool. Keep in mind that Original
Flava is basically an album of songs and DEMOS of songs in the pre-N'Dea
era. Sort of like the Beatles Anthology record with Pete Best playing
drums on some of the songs. (I'd better shut up now, since I tend to get
in trouble when I briefly make non-AJ references :))
> Corduroy--Out of Here--
I agree it wasn't so hot. But like I said, they had to release the "most
recent" albums by their artists.
> MOther Earth--The people tree--
> Jesse is a cool song. I didn't like the rest of the album.
I think the album is okay. You might get flamed, though. :)
On the other hand, Hollywood Recs. DID release JTQ's "In The Hand of the
Inevitable." True, most people think it's not their best work, but don't
go around saying it sucks!
They also release the new Mother Earth album, but I have no idea what
that one sounds like.
