He is now a self-proclaimed atheist.+Taylor has one solo album, recorded using high-tech 80s technology for the time: "I had bought an Apple IIe computer in 1983 and MIDI sequencing software that I used to 'record' the album into the computer. I did it without the benefit of hard drives, which were really expensive and not widely used in the early 1980s. So here I am swapping floppy disks and all, and the software was very rudimentary, but it did allow me to program all the keyboard layers and the bass, and drum parts. I used two digital sampling keyboards plus a rack of analog keyboards for the sounds. It was all driven by the little Apple IIe with no hard drive. All I had to do then was to record guitars and vocals in the studio and then whatever other parts I wanted to add to specific songs like percussion and sax."
