This CD was recorded live at the 2008 Kidsfest at the Hillsong Convention Centre in Australia. Again Hillsong have come up with a kid's CD that adults can also quite happily sing along to. From the opening crunching chords of "Follow You" the stall is squarely set out. However, it is not all about pounding drums and rhythms as there are some lovely ballad type moments as on "I'm So Glad You Are Here (The Same Power)". Included in the mix are some more well known ditties such as "Shout Your Fame". The only weak moments are when the team make an effort at rapping on "Love Never Fails". But that is only a minor distraction. As could be expected the production is first class and the musicianship is top notch. Nothing really new here but you get a sense of the energy of the concert and as long as Hillsong is your cup of tea and you are looking for a CD for your children you won't go far wrong with this one.
