Amos, Daniel
Doppelganger
The most creative artists of alternative ccm are often consigned to the gospel market ghetto, while in actuality making
artistic statements that perceive popular trends before their time. The great genius of pop music most hurt by this
injustice is Terry Taylor of DA, and the strongest support for this argument can be found on the band's great classic
album, Doppelganger. Taylor's brilliant satire of popular culture "Mall" the radio station in St Paul, MN began giving
significant support to an enjoyable, but lesser song with almost the exact lyrics and ideas, "Escalator of Life," right
down to the mannequin imagery. Taylor's brilliant attacks on televangelists in "I Didn't Build it For Me" and "New Car"
predate the Swaggart/Bakker and more recent Robert Tilton fiascos. Elsewhere, as in "Here I Am," "Youth With A Machine"
and "Autographs for the Sick," DA predates ideas that have made others a heap of money in pursuit of MTV fame & teenage
superstardom. This is the record that was amazingly ahead of its time. This is the DA record that could have catapulted
them into mainstream success if anybody had invested enough money into their career. This is the record you should buy
immediately. No serious alternative music fan, Christian or otherwise, should miss this record. After nearly three
decades it sounds no worse for the wear. In partnership, Stunt Records and Born Twice Records offer the Two-Disc
Collector's Edition of Doppelganger by Daniel Amos. Disc one presents the album as you remember it, with remastered
sonic clarity you may not have experienced before. Disc two gives you era-adjacent live versions, demos, and DA-oriented
ephemera, letting the listener into the process of how this remarkable album was made and how it was received. Both
discs have been remastered by the best in the business - J Powell at Steinhaus who carefully accentuates the original
magic of this classic release. Comes in a 6-Panel Digipak with a 24-page booklet.
