69 Why weren't "M'lila's Song" and "Bacchae Rap" on the Xena CD #2? (Xena: Warrior Princess)
The problem with both of these songs is that Jo LoDuca DIDN'T
write them. And therefore he didn't have the copyright on them.
So when it came to preparing the CD. Varesse Sarabande used
songs/tracks that were not to difficult for them to use, or
obtain permission to use.
As all the tracks on the 2nd CD are written by Jo himself
obtaining permission from him is easy. When you attempt to get
permission from a third party band, you get into contract
negotiations, and this would have delayed the 2nd CD's arrival.
So rather than this Varesse Sarabande dropped those two songs.
For those people disappointed that the M'lila song wasn't on the
CD it has been reported that M'lila's song is actually on another
CD.
Kaboom <kaboom@wwnet.com>, writes "The CD in question, is called
Mouth Music by the group, Mouth Music. It's apparently on the
Rykodisc label. Catalogue # RCD 10196. M'lila's song is track
#10, and is actually called Fraoch a Ronaigh. And on the CD is
sung by Talitha Mackensie."
"Fraoch a Ronaigh"'s English title is "Heather of Rona". And is
3:15 minutes long. It says this on the inside by the song: The
song describes several points on the island of North Uist, which
could be used as landmarks by sailors passing along the west
coast.
