How about that first box set M8 put out? I'm not sure if I'd like the
techno-era DA, as I REALLY disiked "Vox Humana". Always wanted to hear
"Alarma" though, and I liked "Darn Floor" just fine, especially "The Shape
of Air", "Strange Animals" and "Pictures of the Gone World." The ancient
country and western sounding DA is being made available again, isn't it?
How about that second box set, that out yet? "Orange Grotesteques" vol 2?
Hmmm... personally, the "techno-era DA", as you put it, is my favorite stuff of theirs. Then again, that's the DA I grew up on, and that's the material they were playing way back when when I'd get to see them live. Somewhere, I've got "Horrendous Disc" and all 4 Alarma Chronicles albums on vinyl. Perhaps I shouldn't admit this, but I may even have "Shotgun Angel" on 8-track... I can see why you might not like "Vox Humana" - not all the songs on there are great, but "Travelog", "William Blake" and "Sanctuary" are fabulous, IMHO. I enjoy "Home Permanent" quite a bit too, and "Dance Stop" was just a whole heck of a lot of fun during their concerts.
What is "Kalhoun" like? I believe it, and "Mr. Buechner's Dream", are the only DA albums I don't have.
