So *that* explains it! I've always wondered why the track numbers were like
that. Cool concept, I must say. It gets a little frantic sometimes, when I
want to listen to a certain track then manually count it off the list just
to select it (I guess that's what they wanted?) :)

I also seen and heard "Organix" via DJ T-Bird, who proudly owns a copy.
Reading the record label it also looks like this record was originally
released as a regional release in the Philadelphia area, when they were still
just a local band. Any Philly people on the list own a copy, know who owns
one or knows where to find it?

Too bad they never recorded anything when Christian McBride was their bass
player! (or did they....)
