Though jazz and dance music fans embraced the record, the band's label had no idea how to how to market it. The Daous were so sure they'd be dropped that the prospect of leaving became their only consolation. When they found out Columbia wanted another album, they pleaded to be let go. "We were so unhappy there," Vanessa says. "
