Originally posted by servantsteve quote: Originally posted by Author of the Post So how is your CD collection coming along? -- taotp So far, so good, although I'm buying CDs too fast to enjoy them. On the TST side, I've got the following now- Lost Dogs (Green room serenade and Little Red Riding Hood/Pray where you are), Daniel Amos- Mr Buechner's Dream, Terry Scott Taylor- Glimpses of grace and John Wayne, Swirling eddies- Sacred Cows and Zoom Daddy. This round of CD buying has also led me to get some Adam Again and the Gene Eugene Tribute. I remembered how much I used to love Steve Taylor and bought some of his stuff too. I'm trying to get some Mike Knott but the interest in Christian punk was rekindled getting me to buy Watashi Wa, War Rocket Ajax and Poor Old Lu. I like to saturate myself in new music and I've bought to much stuff to properly saturate myself. I'm trying to cool it for awhile, but ebay is kind of becoming an obsession, too. I have a pretty large collection but I have a hard time figuring out what to buy because I have weird tastes and I can't get a decent CCM station in this area. So I experiment by buying, which is expensive! (CCM is maybe a bad term- I mean Christian music that I enjoy in contemporary sytles like rock, punk, metal, techno and alternative...)

You've still got a long way to go to collect all the needed CDs for a true DA collection. Where are your Daniel Amos CDs? As for Lost Dogs, get Scenic Routes--that's my fave. And with the Eddies, go for Let's Spin. It's a classic.

Scenic Routes is very available and I guess I'll snag that puppy soon. I'd also like to get Real men cry. To be hnest, I want everything they've ever done. I'm really impressed by the Lost dogs.
Let's Spin should b re-released soon- I'm waiting for that to happen. I think Outdoor Elvis is in the same category.
As far as DA- I'm waiting for inspiration. There's so much to get and so much is out of print. The bidding on DA on eBay is fierce and there are no DA CDs in half@ebay. I started to buy Alarma! Chronicles used for $55 but felt that was a little pricy for me right now... I saw it new at Millenium 8 for $50 but I think it's sold out because it only comes up with a search by author. $50 is still a little rich for my blood after my reckless spending this month.
I certainly have not mined this vein of outstanding music, but it hasn't yet been a month. If Christ doesn't return soon, I'll probably get an opportunity to expand more later.

The origincal price for Alarma Chronicles was $40, so $50 or $55 is not that bad a price. It's well worth it and you get 4 albums (on 3 CDs) for your money's worth. Well worth it, you won't regret it!

I can't wait till a release of Let's Spin. I want bonus tracks. How about live tracks? How about a whole live album of the Eddies!!!

That's great logic for a fan but not for a neophyte. I can't really afford to lay out that kind of money on a group I don't know that well. I've liked what I've heard so far but that's kind of steep for me.
I don't know if it occurs to y'all, but you're fans of not one but at least 4 artists/groups- Swirling Eddies, Terry Taylor, Lost Dogs and Daniel Amos. If you add in the groups the guys in Lost Dogs are in, then the 77s, Adam Again, the Choir and Mike Roe's solo work must aslo be considered. Working outward from there, there's alot of support for Mike Knott and Steve Taylor on this board, rounding out the number to 10 groups, some of which have been around since the 70s and have produced many albums. $50 bucks per group comes out to $500! (I already have a bunch of Steve Taylor and the Choir set, so I'm not worried about them, but the others are alot to think about.)
I'm not in a race, so I'm really not trying to catch up. I've still got a few of my own faves (Russ Taff, Steve Camp, Rez, Larry Howard, Larry Norman, dc Talk, Audio Adrenaline, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Phil Keaggy, Undercover...) I also collect and love. I imagine over time, I'll collect alot of DA, although I may never attain the fan status of some of you. I must say that you have excellent taste, though.

Be that as it may, the Alarma Chronicles bookset is well worth the money. A great, great set of albums, some of the finest music ever made. Get it. You won't regret it.

Sounds like a good policy

First, lately you seem to throw out albums every year without practicing adequate quality control in regards to what gets put on your CDs. Fans want to hear the good music that you write, not everything that pops into your mind.
