The Swirling Eddies are born
|
Ed McTaggart does the art direction and design for Crumbacher's "Tame The Volcano".
Terry also sang lead vocals on “He Fell In The Water” on Ojo’s Relative.
January 1988
Tim Chandler leaves the Choir, after completing sessions for "Chase the Kangaroo", to tour with Tonio K.
CCM Magazine's feature "The Toys in the Band" includes Daniel Amos.
Terry: "I like the Rick (Rickenbacker) because it has a clean, sort of 60's sound. It's a simple guitar. Not something that you would use as a lead, but as a rhythm player I like it's fullness. We're getting back to the guitar sound. We're trying to do surprising things with a guitar, seeing what can be done."
Terry Taylor/Vocals, Guitar: Rickenbacker. Amp: Marshall 50-watt
Greg Flesch/Lead Guitar, keyboards: Tokai guitar, Roland guitar synth, E-mu Emax. Amp: Gallien Krueger
Tim Chandler/Bass: Aria Pro II, GL SB1, Hamer 12 String, Fender jazz fretless. Amps: Gallien Krueger 400B bass amp, Ampeg SVT bass cabinet. Misc:Roto-Sound round wound strings
Ed McTaggart/Drums: Ludwig kit, Gretsch snare, Tama hardware, Zildjian cymbals, Regal Chester Thompson 1A wood tip sticks.
Early 1988
Terry went into the studio with Tim Chandler, Greg Flesch and Dave Raven and recorded at least three songs ("Suns Down", "Like Lazarus" and "Stones Of Venice") if not more, under the moniker "Crime Horse". They wanted to release a full album of this material, but these songs were rejected by the label which preferred a less serious approach. As a result, the Swirling Eddies were born!
Terry: "The name 'The Swirling Eddies' came from a weather report... a swirling eddy is a weather condition. I believe that Tim Chandler suggested it."
May 7, 1988
Terry takes part in a songwriters seminar in Anaheim California for CCM and Christian Artists Corp.
Other artists included Dan Posthuma, Brian Tankersley, Tom Howard, Mark Maxwell, and others.

August 1988
CCM magazine, in it's LA/West part of the "Insider", mentions DA's cornerstone 88 performance. The author, Chris Willman, jokingly confused DA's set with Mylon LeFevre's by claiming that DA offered a set of "highly choreographed, highly evengelistic, slick, Christian rock with a southern accent and the inevitable testamony of heroin abuse with the stars. Among the highlights of DA's set that wasn't pre-recorded was a rousing audience chant-along of 'Love God Hate Sin'". The writer then described Mylon & Broken Heart's set by saying that they "tore things up with an unpredictable, no-holds-barred performance of wild and wooly post-punk. From the opening cover of 'Money (That's what I want)' through the encore of 'Puff the Magic Dragon', there was no stopping Mylon or his bass player who kept jumping in the air and landing flat on his back without missing a note. And then Mylon.... or was that DA? Whoops. Maybe the Windy City wind blew our notes around a little..."
August 18-21, 1988
Daniel Amos performs at the Flevo festival.
September 1988
CCM magazine retracts their Cornerstone 88 joke confusing DA's set with Mylon LeFevere's (see August 1988). Apparently, Mylon received a number of phone calls from upset people that believed that the description of his set was accurate. Mylon made a call to CCM to let them know that he didn't appreciate the joke. Supposedly, DA wasn't too amused either.
