and I think we all know how painful that can be...
List your personal favorite song from each of the Alarma Chronicles (not necessarily the best, but the one you enjoy most).
Results will be published in an upcoming literary journal.
I'll go first:
Alarma -- My Room (I can't help shaking my butt whenever it comes on; not a pretty picture)
Doppleganger -- I Didn't Build It for Me (what else)
Vox -- Home Permanent
Fearful -- Beautiful One (I'm just saying that to sound classy, but really it's Neverland Ballroom)

This is too tough and a couple of these songs may also change from day to day, except that I think The Pool is the clear winner from FS.
Alarma - Alarma
Doppelganger - The Double
Vox Humana - Travelog or Sanctuary
Fearful Symmetry - The Pool

Since I'm the only one of the folks here without the Alarma Chronicles (in box set or any other form) I guess I'll have to pick from what I do know from the "Personal Favorites" disc....
Alarma - Walls of Doubt
Fearful Symmetry - The Pool (well, this is probably in my top five of any DA songs, but that's beside the point)
Doppleganger - Mall (All over the World)
Vox Humana - Sanctuary (this one's probably in my top ten, at least....)

ALL these lists could be mine-
can you think of ANY 4some of recordings that you enjoy
end to end?
I mean, in the middle of "Thanks for the Pepperoni" - I need to yawn a bit. ( and thats just near the end of a threesome)
and can you really dig Revolution #9...EVERYTIME?
not me-
the ialarma! chronicles is the TRUE white album here kiddles.

Same goes for "within you, without you" from Sgt Pepper.
Sometimes I am not in the mood for "real girls" but not very often anymore...
you're right... those albums are more solid than a lot of othere so called classics!

You're telling me!! I missed my chance to get it when it first came out, and I'm too young to have bought them when they were originally out on disc.
I'd love to have the box set, but I'm not paying no 180 bucks for a set on Ebay. My wife would kill me.
