hi Lee,

Yeah, that track is great as is the jazzy d&b flavoured remix that appeared
on the 12"ep. There was a full-length entitled _Language Electric_ released
last year on Dorado. It is absolutely stunning from top to bottom.
Definitely on the more mellow and moody tip than much on her first Dorado
album (_Galactica Rush_), but both are excellent. _Language Electric_ also
features a couple of great instrumentals which she composed - a direction
she says she wants to move more deeply into. The woman can do no wrong in
my books. If there is justice in this world, Jhelisa will one day be
recognized, on a far broader level, for her incredible talents. Hunt the
album down. G'luck & enjoy.
