Alarma!

Alarma! is the title of a 1981 album by rock band Daniel Amos, released on Newpax Records. Alarma!, released weeks after the band's Beatles/Beach Boys influenced Horrendous Disc, took a decidedly new wave direction along the lines of Elvis Costello or Talking Heads. Alarma! was the first of a four part series of albums by DA entitled The Alarma! Chronicles, which also included the albums Doppelganger, Vox Humana, and Fearful Symmetry. The band raised eyebrows on the tour that followed each release, by presenting a full multimedia event complete with video screens sychronized to the music, something that was unusual in the early 1980s for any band. In 1981, DA was Terry Scott Taylor on rhythm Guitars and lead vocals, Jerry Chamberlain on lead guitars and vocals, Marty Dieckmeyer on bass guitar, and Ed McTaggart on drums. Dieckmeyer left the band before the Alarma! Tour, and was replaced with bassist, Tim Chandler. Side One:
  1. "Central Theme" (Taylor)

  6. "Endless Summer" (Taylor/Chamberlain)
