Let the Freak Flag Fly will be out in June (at least in Europe): I've
heard a promo and it's ...stunning... Dunno if I would call it AJ, more
like ambient-hippy-trippy-weird-shit with jazzy parts. I like it a lot.

Oh, and the "sample" on the Bird track, I believe is Tranquility Bass
himself (is it Mike Candella he's called?). He does quite a bit of
singing on the album.
