The Soulquarians' period at the studio ended due in part to the experimental nature of some of their recordings becoming commercial liabilities. Bilal held improvisatory jam sessions at the studio for his second album, "Love for Sale", but its experimental direction alienated his label from releasing it, and a subsequent leak led to its indefinite shelving. Common's similarly experimental "Electric Circus" sold disappointingly, which discouraged his and the Roots' shared label, MCA Records, from letting the artistically-free environment at the studio continue.
