At the time this was a revelation - a bit like the Eagles
turning out a talking Heads album. Represents the completion
of DA's move from west Coast Country Rock to weird but
tuneful noodling. Despite having the US CD of this, I had my
British vinyl copy transferrted to CD (so sue me...) - and
it still sounds great - and ought to be compulsory listening
for stuck-in-the-mud worship bands and "Oh
look-at-those-boring-evangelicals-with-their
silly-old-fashioned-guitars" -type postmodern,
post-evangelical, post-everything "Christians" - you know
those to whom ironic detachment is more important than
faith....
