Description
The self-titled debut album by the American synth-rock band D.O.X. (Defenders Of The Cross) was released on Frontline Records in July 1986, distributed by The Benson Company. The album was recorded by Doug Doyle at 3-D Studios in Costa Mesa, California; with Terry Scott Taylor of Daniel Amos fame producing. Tracks A1 and B3 written by Taylor.
The very same year, Terry Scott Taylor’s own band Daniel Amos recorded Fearful Symmetry (released on Frontline Records in September 1986) – their most synth driven album – in the same studio as used by D.O.X., and producer Taylor has given parts of D.O.X.’s album a Fearful Symmetry type of feel, though less experimental. Featuring guest musician Rob Watson of Daniel Amos on keyboards. Backing vocals provided by Watson, Taylor, as well as bandmate Tim Chandler.
