SOULS OF MISCHIEF - NO MAN'S LAND

Souls of Mischief's follow up record in 1995 would be their last on JIVE Records, as relations with the group and the label were spiritually already severed before the album was released to stores. Most fans expected a sound carbon-copied from their previous debut. But what was delivered was a more mature, seasoned cast of 4 and an effort largely underrated.
