Some albums conclude a chapter. DA's Fearful Symmetry concluded an entire creative journey. Originally released in 1986, Fearful Symmetry stands as the fourth and final chapter of Daniel Amos' extraordinary four-album ¡Alarma! Chronicles series. Following ¡Alarma!, Doppelgänger and Vox Humana, the album brought one of Christian alternative music's most ambitious artistic cycles to its conclusion while continuing DA's remarkable evolution far beyond the band's earlier roots. By Fearful Symmetry, DA was operating in a musical world where art-rock, synth-pop, new wave and atmospheric pop could exist comfortably alongside Terry Taylor's distinctive songwriting. The result is an album that is intelligent, melodic, atmospheric and unmistakably DA. The album moves from the haunting opening of "A Sigh For You" through songs including "The Pool," "Sleep Silent Child," "Neverland Ballroom," "Strong Points, Weak Points," "Instruction Thru Film," "When Moonlight Sleeps (On The Frosted Hill)," "Sudden Heaven," "Shadow Catcher" and "Beautiful One." At the center of the record is Terry Taylor, joined by Ed McTaggart, Tim Chandler, Greg Flesch and Rob Watson, with additional contributions from Alex MacDougall, Crystal Lewis, Jerry Chamberlain, Dave Hackbarth and Doug Doyle. Forty years later, Retroactive Records returns to Fearful Symmetry with a Deluxe Collector's Edition designed to celebrate both the music and the larger story surrounding it. This 40th Anniversary Deluxe CD is strictly limited to ONLY 300 copies and has been newly remastered by Rob Colwell. The physical presentation includes a Collector O-Ring Sleeve, expanded 12-page booklet and an exclusive Limited Collector Card. And this edition expands the original album with THREE bonus demo tracks: alternate early versions of "A Sigh For You," "Sudden Heaven" and "Shadow Catcher." Together they offer collectors another window into material that became part of the final chapter of the Chronicles. The 12-page booklet brings another essential part of the original Fearful Symmetry experience into this anniversary edition: the extensive approximately 1,250-word ¡Alarma! Chronicles Volume 4 text by Terry Taylor and Greg Flesch - "The Final Chapter - Fearful Symmetry." That makes this Deluxe Collector's Edition much more than a remastered CD. It brings together the music and narrative surrounding the final installment of one of the most distinctive multi-album artistic statements to emerge from Christian music in the 1980s, while adding three bonus demos and collector-focused packaging worthy of the album's 40th Anniversary. 40 years. Three bonus demos. 12-page booklet. Collector O-Ring Sleeve. Limited Collector Card. Only 300 copies. DA - Fearful Symmetry returns for its 40th Anniversary. *FOR FANS OF: Undercover, Depeche Mode, The Church, The Cars, The 77s, Swirling Eddies, Lifesavers & The Lost Dogs.
