-within 10 years his music helped to change the gospel music scene radically from one dominated by whit southern gospel quartets

1975-in another land
1976-something new under the son
1977-voyage of the vigilant
when voyage of the vigilant was refused for release, larry decided to create an independent distribution system.
he started street level records in 1978 and his albums went all over the world and by passed the major american companies.
in 1980 larry started phydeaux records to distribute his more controversial projects directly to people who wanted his music. at the end of 1980 he left america, moved to england and continued touring europe and countries beyond. he began performing with different bands and recording most of his rehearsals and performances. he navigated his own musical path which was nowhere near the middle of the road.
in 1996 larry celebrated his birthday on the world wide web and used the internet to welcome hundreds of people from around the world to a seven hour virtual party.
street level cafe/cyberia hosted the 'radio babylon'soiree and utilized three different computers in america and one in ireland. the real time conference with fellow internauts included live CU-see me video for those who wanted to see inside the studio.
