Second Coming = Papersleeve = (CD)
Dave Bixby's first LP Ode to Quetzalcoatl was the work of a man in search of himself. His second, released under the group name Harbinger. The arrangements -- in which DeGraaf had a hand as the LP's producer and feature other musicians and singers from his group -- are interesting, and the songwriting, though clumsy, still has its moments (especially in "Time to Clear Your Mind" and "Ode to Elias"). However, whereas Ode to Quetzalcoatl simply chronicled a personal path to inner realization, Second Coming is more about collective salvation, communal bonding, and proselytism. In other words, it wears its ulterior motive on its sleeve, and the music suffers for it.
