Alarma Records        Did the guys in DA have anything to do with this record company? Alot of people were on it in the 80's, just happens to have the same name as a DA album. Just curious as to DA's involvement with the record label... 05-27-2004 13:37 Joey T.

It seems like it had to have been named after the iAlarma! record. __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 05-27-2004 15:49 audiori Administrator Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 11,145 Location: Missouri The guy that started Frontline was the guy that used to be Calvary Chapel's music leader (Jim Kempner) durring the whole Daniel Amos, Sweet Comfort, Parable, etc. days. He hired Terry to produce most of the Frontline releases, and Ed did most of the artwork, and a few other people were involved in that. They had a distribution deal with Benson Music Group, and released a ton of stuff durring the mid 80's with that 'super- production team'. They all worked very long hours getting all those releases done. Terry even wrote songs for some of the releases like D.O.X and they used some older songs of his for things like Wild Blue Yonder. Terry had a hand in the mixing and production work of a large number of those releases. The Alarma name (I am sure) being a sub-group of the Frontline label, which Terry was a part of, being used was no coincidence. __________________ "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything" -St. Francis of Assisi "A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality." - GK Chesterton 05-27-2004 15:54 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven. Frontline/Alarma was the best Christian label ever. The industry has suffered from it's loss. Frontline/Alarma was a lot like "Island Records" in the 80's. If it even looked cool, it was worth buying. If it looked cool, chances were that it was a great record. Those days are long gone! I still say if I ever win the lotto, I am buying the label. ) __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 05-27-2004 16:03 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven. think about it... Scaterd Few, LSU, Jacob's Trouble... Great bands and great records! even Pat Nobody was kinda cool! __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 05-27-2004 16:05 audiori Administrator Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 11,145 Location: Missouri Ha! I forgot about him. We liked the Crumbacher CDs, even though they might not have been much of a 'live' band. The music was kinda cool. "Tame The Volcano" was a pretty cool song. Terry told us once he would love to have reissues done of a lot of those bands where one disc would be the album and the other disc would be the demo that band submitted to the label. That would of been really interesting. He talked about a lot of them were sort of 'discovered' by Frontline, and therefore took quite a bit of work to get them album ready, studio-wise. (Not all of them.) Scaterd Few for example, as one that didn't need a lot of work, I think Terry is still friends with Alan. __________________ "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything" -St. Francis of Assisi "A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality." - GK Chesterton 05-27-2004 16:16 mindgasket A Hot Wolly Registration Date: 06-18-2003 Posts: 421 Location: Just because we're hypnotized that don't mean we can't dance! sorry...        I thought Jacob's Trouble sucked. 05-29-2004 09:47 audiori Administrator Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 11,145 Location: Missouri Jacob's Trouble "Door Into Summer" was really good I thought, I liked "Knock, Breath Shine" ..... They started out sort of acoustic Beatles -ish and by the end had morphed into the Monkeys. by "Let the Truth Run Wild" they were the Christian Monkeys I think. __________________ "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything" -St. Francis of Assisi "A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality." - GK Chesterton 05-29-2004 12:13 Asherman Mind Peach Registration Date: 04-12-2002 Posts: 196 Location: OR quote: Originally posted by audiori Jacob's Trouble "Door Into Summer" was really good I thought, Well, the only reason why they didn't suck at the beginning is the simple fact that their original sound seemed Taylor-made. __________________ 05-29-2004 12:37 audiori Administrator Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 11,145 Location: Missouri Aye. Mark Heard had some to do with the original sound as well. __________________ "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything" -St. Francis of Assisi "A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality." - GK Chesterton 05-29-2004 12:41 Asherman Mind Peach Registration Date: 04-12-2002 Posts: 196 Location: OR I'd love to see some re-issues from the Alarma label...
