Jim and Rink just decided not to pull the trigger. I'm guessing Jim wanted a label to throw a lot of money behind it rather than taking a chance... so instead Jim might just throw the material at a contest winner who already has a label's backing. I'm very upset by the whole death of the Dream Engine. It was the one Jim project I was really looking forward to. > > Surely they must have known what they were getting > themselves in for.
