Terry Taylor almost single handedly pioneered the alternative Christian rock thing in the early 80s with his excellent band Daniel Amos. You'll also find him as one of the Lost Dogs and if you're very careful you may have already discovered that he is the brains behind spoof band the Swirling Eddies. Previously an opportunity for him to revel in his rather weird sense of humour, The Eddies have now become a little more of a serious proposition with this latest album which is musically akin to late 80s DA. Nothing here as controversial as "Hide The Beer, The Pastor's Here" from their previous release but still a lot to make you smile. The title song concerns the rapture and if you want an idea of what else is on offer the titles themselves will give you an idea of where Taylor is shooting from. "Nightmare At The Elks Lodge", "God Went Bowling" and "Multipurpose Man" will reassure you that he's as off the wall as ever. Creativity or craziness? Both actually! He manages to make you laugh and think at the same time - no mean feat. Unlikely to win Taylor new fans, but for those who have discovered the joys of previous material, much to enjoy!
