I recently purchased "hang on little tomato" and was a bit dissapointed. I was under the impression that they were a lounge band, with Henry Mancini influences.

The album sounded more like mostly latin songs, with somber cello, and very depressing themes. Hardly what I was looking for! I wanted something upbeat and swanky, and this ain't it!

Furthermore, a look inside the booklet that came with it showed very "hippy" looking people as being the musicians, not swingers, like I was expecting. It looks like any sampling of college students from U.C. Berklee, and the singer China Forbes looks a bit too much like Natalie Merchant to be a lounge singer.

Are there other albums by this group that I would like better? Any suggestions?

I really wanted to like this group, but frankly, "hnag on little tomato" depressed the hell out of me!
