(In The Paint/Koch Entertainment). The

album, features 17 tracks of

reality-embracing tales which we were

Ming was brought in to sing on a track

in 1996, it was clear that her

distinctive voice was a missing link. From

that point on, all of the diverse

elements converged together to form

August will find Mr. Booka-T, Hypno, Joe

Davis and Ming-Xia touring Europe, with

plans for a domestic tour in the fall.
