Terry needs to get in touch with the youth culture, and make music with a more hip-hop tinge.

The Rap'sures projects didn't satisfy that itch, hmmm?

I'm sure the Starter Set stuff will be available again in one form or another. Thats the kind of stuff we're considering to raise funds for a potential DA record. It wouldn't be entirely things that were available before - but we figure we might as well make some of that available again.

Yea, but could Terry match this high level of achievement:

Oh, and I totally missed out on the Rap'sures. Did I miss anything? Tongue

Who should produce DA...

I never got the Rap'sures but always thought of them as a spoof on Rap? If I'm wrong let me know.
I think it would be cool to see Jeff Tweedy produce DA, or the LD. yea that would be cool.

nope.

i have no idea how it came about but it seems like it was about a paycheck more than it was about art. like mike roe once said "i could laugh, but it's not funny".

but that's just one persons opinion.

I'm still waiting for my DVD to arrive, but I doubt they are attractive dancers. Tongue

I think I asked who they were once, but didn't get an answer. I was assuming they were wives or girlfriends or someone similarly connected to the band.

I suspect the first one was a "Farm Beetles"-type spoof which somehow got a general public release, to a credulous audience who recieved it without any irony whatsoever (remember, there were maybe only one or two other Christian "crap" products available at that time). So the success of the first led to demand for a follow-up, which was marketed as a "kids" product.

OT Rap..... OT Rap... Old Testament Rap....
That record is hilarious.

The starter set demos were very interesting. The music was very Jason Martin (prayer warrior particuliarly) and with Terry singing, it was quite the mix.

I have often wondered what the purpose of those demos were... was it an attempt to collaborate on a full blown record, or to simply shop the songs around to other artists?

Hmm - looking at my post above:

It seems the language filter automatically renders the word ".rap" as crap.

Just wanted the crap lovers out there to know - I didn't write it that way.

RE: producing Daniel Amos

Outside producer -- oh, one of the obvious ones was missed:

Brian Wilson

and then.. to reciprocate, Terry would produce a Brian Wilson album. I like that plan.

aaron sprinkle would be a cool choice, as well.

It would have been nice to see a full "starter set" album.
