If you've been waiting for the new one from Cornerstone Church, Florida, this is it. The new name consolidates a long held link with the Calvary Chapel association of churches. This live worship album follows the superb 'Electric Praise' releases, and features some of the best of those songs and some fine new ones. The standard of songwriting is equal to anything, anywhere; the homegrown writers Leon Olguin and James Anderson offer a fine example of writing material of superb quality which can still suit a congregation's needs. The worship is of course led by Pastor Malcolm Wild (of Malcolm & Alwyn fame) and as always it's a treat to hear his understated style, devoid of any flash or cheap thrills. Highlights? Well, "Let Our God Be Magnified" is still a great song and there's a version of Leslie Phillips' gem "Strength Of My Life". Even the old warhorse "Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus" comes through like a frisky young thing. All good stuff, an exceptionally good band, first class vocalists. Probably the most mature, effective worship album around, with plenty to offer even those who normally give this genre a miss.
