D.A.D. Draws a Circle is the second studio album by Danish rock band D-A-D, at the time known as Disneyland After Dark. It was released on 16 June 1987 by Mega Records. The album received fairly positive reviews and sold 30,000 copies in Denmark. [1]
The album was produced by Englishman Mark Dearnley, who had engineered for acts like AC/DC, Motörhead, the Beat and Haircut One Hundred. [3] The album title has a dual meaning: it refers to making an album and, also, signals that the band had come full circle while covering different musical styles such as hard rock, punk, country, and gospel. [1]
The album contains D-A-D's first and only cover version, " A Horse with No Name" by America, at the request of producer Mark Dearnley.
