Where the Ragged People Go seems to be kind of hard to find though, unfortunately.

I'm jealous. I listen to 99% of my music online, and I can't find
Sweet Shanghai Devil anywhere. I really wanna hear this album. I feel like I'm missing an important piece of a puzzle without this album. Oh well, I'm sure I'll hear it one day.
As for how much they change from album to album, that's what attracted me to their music in the first place. I'd listened to
Blackjazz when it first came out and was hooked immediately, so I went and checked out their debut. My first thought upon listening to
Where the Ragged People Go was "I must've made a mistake, there's no way this is the same band". I don't need to tell you that it's a big step from that album to
Blackjazz, and the fact that they're only 9 or so years apart makes that leap all the bigger. It's as if they're not comfortable just keeping with one style and I love that in a band. I can't wait to see what they do next.
