    Despite the mysterious-sounding name, Distant Early Warning comes through with straight-ahead rock from the word "go". "Frontline" starts the endeavor with a compelling guitar bite, carrying you through the song without a hitch. Next, we soar into a more sedate number: "Distant Early Warning", which cautions the worldly listener to heed the writing on the wall. Finally, we're rocking again as the lead singer, Casper J. Hill, hypothetically laments having missed salvation, and warns us against the same in "Fynal Flyght". To order, send $4 to: Distant Early Warning, 909 Willoubar Ter, High Point NC 27262.
