I think I saw this being discussed a while back, but i'll bring it up... I just got an 'Ideola' record called 'Tribal Opera'. I'm curious if anyone knows any extra info on this? I'm pretty sure this is a Mark Heard side project, but i'm wondering why it's credited as Ideola, if there were any more Ideola albums, etc. etc. Thanks! ~Matt 03-24-2003 16:26 jollyholiday Mind Peach Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 244 Location: The Village Ideola Tribal Opera        Matt, Tribal Opera is the only release by Mark Heard as Ideola. -Jolly 03-24-2003 16:57 Ron E Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 5,610 Location: Central Ontario Canada My guess is that it had something to do with What Records and that he was likely trying to distance himself from the Christian market he had been pushed into. But hey, what do I know? I'm pretty sure Mark played all the instruments and is the most keyboardy, electrified stuff of anything else he's done, at least off the top of my head, although, I must admit, there were a couple of 70's things of his I haven't h(H)eard. I absolutely loved Ashes to Dust and Eye of the Storm and his later stuff. Really liked Ideola too, just not the same musically as the other stuff. __________________ The opinion expressed is that of the participant and does not necessarily reflect that of Mr Dan Amos.

I'v recently been able to get a hold of some original LPs of his from the late 70's to the early 80's, including an interesting self titled 1975 release on Airborn records. I'll have to listen to more of Ideola. 03-25-2003 20:09 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. Oh yeah... that's the stuff!        I just picked up this on and the non M8 LRRH, both on tape from Cheapo records. $4.20 each. __________________ 04-11-2003 16:21 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love I have the CD's. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

I know that Steve H from the Choir helped with some "digital racket" - but its basically Mark alone. I found a "Big Beat " CD from the 80s in a bin- and it has an unreleased track called "Jericho" that is attributed to idEOLa - and it certainly sounds like it belongs in that era. In 1987- What was on TOP!!! __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 04-13-2003 07:01 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. that's the thing... unlike a lot of Mark Heard's stuff, this one is pretty dated. good, but a bit dated... __________________ 04-13-2003 15:02 joey Platyhelminth Registration Date: 01-08-2003 Posts: 7,231 Location: the biggest fans are often the biggest critics ... sometimes taken as complaining ... get used to it. :P - mountain fan still never heard it........ __________________ facebook 04-14-2003 00:33 Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- DA Related Discussion-- General Discussion-- Upcoming Releases-- CD & DVD Reviews-- Larry - Lucy I'm In LoveFAQs and Notices Daniel Amos Message Board » DA Related Discussion » General Discussion » Ideola Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
