This appears to be the first demo by Jordan – sometimes referred to as self-titled demo, other times it is called Demo#1. “Love,” “Outta Line,” and “Amen” were included on their 1994 collection CD called Collective Rain. The style is a late 80s commercial metal/hard rock sound. For those that didn’t know, this band was well connected with the Southern California Sanctuary Church scene – their lead singer even wrote several songs for the Sanctuary Praise CDs of the early 90s. The next demo that I know of is 1990’s End of the Rainbow, but there could be others before then that I don’t know of.
