    Album Info & Lyrics

    Terry: "A lot of people I talk to think this was our best record. It was an eight track recording. Some of our more popular live songs are on that record -- 'Dance Stop', 'Sanctuary'. It had a cheesy, outer-space, 'War of the Worlds' theme to it. Very new wavy. But it also has some songs on it that I think transcend that time, such as 'Sanctuary'. I wish we'd done 'Sanctuary' during the Doppelganger phase. I think it might have sounded better. But I enjoy Vox Humana a lot. It has catchy kind of pop songs. It's very listenable and enoyable." (1996)

    Rob Watson couldn't make it to the photo shoot for the cover of VH because he was on tour with Petra at the time, so they had a friend, Leo Sorentino (semi-pro basketball player and former road manager for the Choir... "Everybody in the band appreciated Leo.."), "stand in" for him. The others on the cover are Terry, Ed, & Tim (Greg joined the band after the album was released). (Source: Terry Taylor)
    An early title for the album was Vox Robotica.

  • Terry produced Shelter’s Prophets And Clowns.

  • Greg Flesch (Lead Guitar) joins DA in time for the Vox Humana Tour.

  • Jerry Chamberlain and Sharon McCall's band Boy-O-Boy records "That's What You Get", which was later released on "No Sense of History".



  • Terry Taylor nearly produced Steve Taylor's "Meltdown" album.
    Steve: "...there was a time during the Meltdown album where I kicked around the idea of working with him. It just never came together... I admire Terry alot."
    Terry: "At one time, Street Level productions was sent a tape. The question was asked would I produce the person that was on the tape. Of course it was Steve Taylor. But that never happened. I don't know why it never happened. I thought that was interesting that we could have worked together. I hope sometime that it will happen."
