I think the new songs really interupt the flow of the album, and except for the
"Austin Powers" track aren't nearly as strong as the Living Underground
tracks. They should have tacked them on the end of the album, dropped "Starsky
& Hutch" and left the Living Underground tracks that were dropped. The one
thing I can say positive for the Creation, is that everything was remastered,
and the Underground tracks never sounded better. Very clean - definately not a
wasted investment. Hollywood is giving JTQ the respect that Acid Jazz seems to
have lost.
