stinking news, people!! Yes there are three , count'em THREE new DA CDs
on the market even as we speak. The first is the eagerly awaited CD re-issue
of "Shotgun Angel" on Maranatha! Records. This masterpiece is a
must for any serious DA/Eddies lover. It was voted one of the best "Christian"
rock albums of all time by CCM magazine a few years back. Terry
Taylor considers it their "Sergeant Pepper".This new digitally remixed
and remastered beauty features the classic "Rock Opera" of the end times
which was featured on the "Revelation" album, as well as pop and country-rock
classics like Days and Nights, Father's Arms and Shotgun
Angel.
Second is the new FRONTLINE project entitled
"dr.
Edward Daniel Taylor- The Swirling Eddies Miracle Faith Prickly Heat Telethon
of Love" (uncensored title). This oddball project was originally conceived
by the label folks as a "Best of..." (GAG) album, but was quickly and violently
redirected into an oddities, remixes, weirdness, etc.
project. The album is broken down into five sections- The first section
is the Live Studio Sessions 1990, featuring the rerecording of The Pool,
Riders
in the Sky, and I'm On Your Team, all recorded "live" in the
studio in one long 10 hour session. The second portion is the Telethon
a wild and wickedly satirical spoof of some of the quirks so often prevalent
in the modern church, complete with the oddest array of musical guests
and hosted by none other than the Right Reverend dr. Edward Daniel Taylor,
himself. Studio insanity at it's finest, guaranteed to be unlike anything
you've ever heard before. The third section is three songs from Terry's
second solo album, "A Briefing for the Ascent", a beautiful tribute to
the mystery of death. The fourth part is remixes from Fearful Symmetry,
Darn Floor and Let's Spin ,the single "Soon" off the Revelation
album and "The Only |
One" an oldie but goodie which first
appearred on Wild Blue Yonder's debut album. The disc closes with Pretentious
Poetry Readings featuring the fake English accent of Camarillo Eddy. Seventy
minutes of the mad genious of Terry Taylor and Company.The best AND worst
of...
The third new(?) offering from the boys is
perhaps the most important. DA- Live Bootleg '82 is the first offering
from STUNT RECORDS, our own independant label dedicated to bringing you
the best in bootleg DA material, special collector's items, unreleased
demo recordings, DA-related music and, best of all, new DA and Swirling
Eddies projects.This recording was taped back during the ¡Alarma!
Tour at the height of the band's most intense touring schedule. The energy
of the ¡Alarma! era is captured beautifully at this concert and is
truly a great collector's item. This disc features songs from Horrendous
Disc, ¡Alarma! and Doppelgänger as well as I'm on Your Team,
Everyone 's Fallen Down, The Lord Has Open Arms, and the
classic "Surf Suite"(Surfin ' USA, Wipe Out, Tidal Wave and Endless
Summer). Fans have been waiting years for a project like this and we're
