Horrendous Disc was going to be next but Larry Norman died in the middle of planning. I haven’t heard yet whether its still going to happen or not.

This is actually the most recent in a series of deluxe remasters being done of the DA catalog. The bands first album was put out a couple of years ago in a beautiful 2 disc set with some added early home recordings. From what I hear, the Alarma Chronicles are already in the works in some format.

No, I’m not an objective listener either, but Terry Taylor’s lyrics are the only ones that have ever hit me with a new and profound insight after listening to one of his songs for eight years (If You Want To from ‘Kalhoun’). There are onion-layers of insight in all his stuff, which means you never get tired of these songs. The music is great as a vehicle for the words. Listening to Da for the music is like reading the Bible as literature – you are only scratching the surface of what is there.

I am one of the fortunate few to have Darn Floor Big Bite on CD, but I bought the reissue anyway. As I was relistening to the CD, I was amazed by how remarkably fresh and creative it still sounds, the wonderful swirling dissonances underscoring the difficulty of communications, whether between God and humans or between two humans.

I’m so happy you guys are as excited about this as I am! And sorry it’s not available outside the US.

Never heard of them but after such an impassioned piece by Joe I was all ready to hit the download button… DUH! Not available to UK!

Oh dear.

Holy Cow. DA available on Emusic. That’s amazing. I loved this album, although I haven’t listened to it for years. I think I’ve still got a Horrendous Disk 8-track buried in a box somewhere. I do remember it was the only 8-track I kept when I threw all the others out.
You might be able to spike a bit of interest from more mainstream folks by pointing out that the wonderfully bizarre scores for The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys video games were products of the warped mind of Terry Taylor; although that might just connect to a different fringe of the fringe crowd.
