Query: SNZ Bedlam Ballroom

Who are these people, and what have they done with my favorite band? I have six other SNZ CD's as well as Katharine Whalen's solo project and I love them all, what happened? Gone is the spooky southern aura that hung around their music. Sadly it's been replaced by a freakish mix of pop, funk, and a touch of latin beats. I miss Tom Maxwell's voice, and the only bright spot is Katharine sings a lot more on this disc. I listened then hoped and finally prayed it would get better as the tracks wound down, and it never happened. I hope this is not a new direction for such a great band. A very big disapointment
