BUT.... I like the first two because they are so atmospheric and personal. So, get "Knowledge and Innocence", "Briefing for the Ascent", then get "Avacado Faultine". It has a very "Lost Dogs" feel to it. Then I'd get "John Wayne". But you need 'em all.... 12-03-2009 22:09 Audiori J Administrator Registration Date: 11-27-2004 Posts: 7,730 Location: "Clowns to the left of me! Jokers to the right!

However, I missed the first printing of LITTLE, big and am waiting for it to become available again (Jason and Eric: any idea of when?), so I can't say if it should be one of your top 3 or not. Since you don't have any Terry solo stuff, perhaps Glimpses of Grace would be a good starting point. It has songs from K&I, BftA, John Wayne and two or three odds and ends. __________________ So I can type anything I want here? No?

Here I AM stuck in the middle with you." - Stealers Wheel K&I and Briefing are moody, K&I followed the death of his grandfather and Breifing followed the death of his grandmother. They were the people that raised him and the songs are somewhat beautiful and sad, a person dealing with loss, tempered by the fact that he knows he will one day see them again. Musically, more of a John Lennon solo type of thing possibly. John Wayne rocks, the songs are catchy with a lot of guitars and the subject matter isn't as heavy as the previous two solo albums. Avocado Faultline is sort of a singer/storyteller type of thing in my opinion. The music is mellow and drifty with almost a touch of country mixed with spanish music or something to that effect. Little Big is good, but its kind of a small little fun album. It is short, the songs are sort of Brian Wilson-esque pop more or less. Glimpses of Grace, as was said, is a compilation of bits of all the solo Terry stuff. __________________ “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” Matthew 5:11 12-04-2009 07:55 UnderDawg Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 05-04-2008 Posts: 1,105 Location: Magnolia, TX We played "One More Time" at my father-in-law's funeral. I wish I could have played it live, but I didn't really feel it was appropriate to do a "performance" at such an event. Besides, I couldn't have had the beautiful string section that way! 12-04-2009 10:17 Ritchie_az Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 07-02-2008 Posts: 2,165 Location: Arizona I've said this before, but Light Princess brings me to tears every time. Listening to that song is both an emotionally wrecking and spiritually uplifting experience, and speaks to me on a personal level like no other song. __________________ So I can type anything I want here?

If I remember correctly that song might be about a baby they lost, not 100% sure right now I am thinking of the right one. __________________ “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” Matthew 5:11 12-04-2009 14:06 Ritchie_az Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 07-02-2008 Posts: 2,165 Location: Arizona quote: If I remember correctly that song might be about a baby they lost, not 100% sure right now I am thinking of the right one. Yeah, an unborn baby. I know there are a lot of folks who have gone through that, and it is quite saddening. Sort of partially, that is why my daughter's name is Joy. __________________ So I can type anything I want here? No?

GOG is more attainable than some others) Little, Big's hit and miss. i wouldn't pay more than $10 for it unless you really liked the early songs too. __________________ Got a few miles left ...

Very rarely has something as polished sounding (for the 1980s) also had such raw emotion at its center. 12-04-2009 15:04 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven. I prefer "Briefing" to K&I. However I really love John Wayne. Great stuff. __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 12-04-2009 21:08 Ritchie_az Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 07-02-2008 Posts: 2,165 Location: Arizona And if you haven't purchased The Swirling Eddies or Lost Dogs stuff, there is even more to buy. __________________ So I can type anything I want here?

That is not very friendly to my wallet (lol) I havent heard them but I think the worst thing that can happen would be to listen to them!! Everything Terry touches seems to be good, for instance one of my favorites from Randy S. is WONDERAMA and Terry put some of his touch there!!! __________________ "Everything in Christ astonishes me.

Both are among the best of those bands. In the case of the SEs, I'd tend to say it is the best. 12-22-2009 18:00 wes berlin Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 3,397 Location: "but today i feel that too much of the church is merely a thermometer, which measures rather than molds popular opinion" mlk 1965 quote: Originally posted by UnderDawg In the case of the SEs, I'd tend to say it is the best. wow! there are so many that i like more than the newest and (at least for me) "zoom daddy" is the best album. but that's what's so cool.........there's something for everyone. __________________ "Exorcising Ghosts" 12-22-2009 18:42 SnowMan Mind Peach Registration Date: 09-10-2006 Posts: 135 Location: Quincy, WA "John Wayne" and "Knowledge & Innocense" __________________ 12-22-2009 23:50 wes berlin Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 3,397 Location: "but today i feel that too much of the church is merely a thermometer, which measures rather than molds popular opinion" mlk 1965 quote: Originally posted by SnowMan "John Wayne" and "Knowledge & Innocense" yes theo those are great.....tst solo albums! i thought we were talking about se and lost dogs. __________________ "Exorcising Ghosts" 12-23-2009 09:04 Pages (3): [1] 2 3 next » 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 » help with Terry Taylor's solo cds Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
