The album is the latest release on their ArtistLed label. In 1997, when Finckel and Wu Han started it, they were the first artists to venture out into the recording industry. And now, eight years later, the company is thriving. "We're doing fantastically well," Wu Han said. "When we started, everyone said that it was a vanity project, and we had to get our manager behind us, but it's turned out to be an artistically sound undertaking."

She and her husband have total artistic control over their product. "We can choose the music and the engineer. And no one can drop us from our own label, or cancel out a contract."

Wu Han sees every CD that ArtistLed releases as a piece of art. "It takes a tremendous amount of energy to produce, and it gives us a sense of responsibility. But everything we do comes from our heart."
