Notes

The title is a play on "The White Album" by The Beatles. Likewise, "The Green Album" is a sprawling double-album. The lo-fi production gained surprise traction in the "Christian Rock" underground, selling worldwide without any label support. Musical support included Jonny V. a.k.a. Jon Vitus of the San Diego-based punk band, Social Spit, plus saxophonist Dave Barrett of the legendary San Francisco New Wave band, No Sisters. Genres range from experimental hard rock to gothic folk to classically inspired electronica to spoken word pieces inspired by British writer (and Inkling) Charles Williams and apocalyptic portions of The Bible. Some of the material found later release (remixed or re-recorded), but much of the material remains unreleased &/or out of print.
