    It's been out for a long time. I actually got it used for cheap about two
    months ago. Its highlights are as high as ever, but its lows are much
    lower than anything else I have heard in the other No Categories. There is
    even some pop music that sounds completely out of place. Its latin Jazz is
    also below average, but the P'tah track almost makes me cry. I would give
    you names, but I do not have my copy at hand.
            On a related Recent Acquisition, I also found an extremely cheap
    (99c) copy of the first BEST OF Luv'n'Haight and I am playing it to death,
    even though it is way high on the Cheese factor. Also, I finally got
    Titan's corazon and I must say I was less than impressed. I still cannot
    understand what all the hype is about and, at least locally in Mexico, the
    backlash is starting to be felt. The same for Plastilina Mosh's latest,
    which I actually enjoy a lot. More funk and less hip-hop than the first
    one, and hardly any reminder of the punk past of this Mexican duo.
