Those with an aversion to the triumphalism of the charismatic movement will wince at the intro where a (very Aussie) voice announces over the cheering throng that "we've got a vision for this nation, this is Christian City Church, we're going places, we're doing it". But if you can bare such thumping this is a start in a series of albums which promises to be a popular new series for Kingsway. Recorded live at the church during a July 1990 service most of the audible sound comes from a tight and funky band (the drum sound is spectacularly good) and a chorus which with fine vocalists like Chris Pringle - wife of pastor Phil -- is more than capable of carrying the snappy pop-tinged worship songs. The songs, all new to my ears, mostly come from the pen of producer musical director Chris Falson. Effervescent pop praise for young churches everywhere.

Hi Ann,

I'm next to certain you cannot digitally download these albums off of iTunes or any other online stores; however CCC appears to have the re-released cd for sale on their online store. http://www.c3store.com/browse/details.asp?ProdID=124841

Blessings :D

I would love to be able to replace my lost cassette, stand. I too thought this worship tape was the best and would love to get a copy. I havent been able to track it down anywhere. My original was brought when l became a christian in the early 90's in the UK.
It was such a blessing - anyone know where l can buy a copy pls..?
