Doppelgänger (Daniel Amos Album)
''Doppelgänger'' is the fifth studio album by Christian alternative rock band Daniel Amos issued on their own Alarma! Records label in 1983. It is the second album in their '' ¡Alarma! Chronicles'' album cycle. Content ''Doppelgänger'' is much darker than the album that preceded it, '' ¡Alarma!''. The album starts with the eerie backward sounds of "Hollow Man" (inspired by T. S. Eliot's poem, ''The Hollow Men''). Taylor's lyrics to "I Didn't Build it For Me", "Autographs for the Sick", and "New Car" were sharp attacks on televangelists, anticipating the Jimmy Swaggart/Jim Bakker/Robert Tilton scandals of 1987–88. ''Doppelgänger'' is the second of a four-part series of albums by DA entitled '' The ¡Alarma! Chronicles'', which also includes '' ¡Alarma!'', '' Vox Humana'' and '' Fearful Symmetry''. In the tour that followed the release, the band presented a full multimedia event, complete with video screens synchronized to the music, something that was unusual in the earl ...

Fearful Symmetry (album)
''Fearful Symmetry'' is the seventh studio album by Christian alternative rock band Daniel Amos, issued on Frontline Records in 1986. It is the fourth and final album in their '' ¡Alarma! Chronicles'' album cycle and the first of three albums the band issued under the shortened moniker DA. Background ''Fearful Symmetry'' is a lush, synthesizer driven pop album, lyrically wrapped in puzzles that the listener has to decipher. Nearly every song on ''Fearful Symmetry'' in some way deals with pain or darkness - from the William Blake-inspired "Sleep Silent Child", a song about death, to "Strong Points, Weak Points", a song about doubt. The album title comes from a line in ''The Tyger'' by William Blake. The album ends on an upbeat note however, with the touching ballad, "Beautiful One". ''Fearful Symmetry'' was the final chapter of a four-part series of albums by DA entitled '' The ¡Alarma! Chronicles'', which also included the albums '' ¡Alarma!'', '' Doppelgänger'', and '' Vox ...
