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.

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 ...
