This is Daniel Amos at their finest. Their website says, \u201cComing November 25, 2008! The classic album that remains the favorite among many DA fans is finally returning to CD! This Deluxe 2 disc Edition includes new artwork &amp; packaging, 20 pages of liner notes and photos, a brand new interview with Terry Taylor, remastered audio and never-before-heard bonus material!\u201d Obviously, there is a lot of stuff here. This original release had 10 tracks that ran the gamut of D.A.\u2019s unclassifiable style. The line up here consisted of Terry Taylor, Ed McTaggart, Tim Chandler and Greg Flesch. This is a truly alternative album, and perhaps more consistent musically than many other D.A. releases. This was originally released in 1987 on Frontline Records, and one of my favorite things about this album is the choir that sings on the song, \u201cThe Shape Of Air,\u201d which closes out the record. The choir consisted of Gene Eugene, Riki Michele, Mike Stand, Ric Alba and Jeff Crandall, as well as others. This was also the first time that Gene and Terry had done studio work together, which makes it even more special. I don\u2019t know if there are \u2019stand out\u2019 tracks here, because really the entire album is amazing. If you have never listened to D.A., this is a great introduction. If you already have the original release, pick up the re-master and give it a spin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DANIEL AMOS DARN FLOOR, BIG BITE 2008 Arena Rock Recording Co.
