Michael J Tinker and Tim Chester - Mission To Dendros: The Meteoric Mixtape
STYLE: Childrens RATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 177353-28677 LABEL: Independent FORMAT: CD Album
Reviewed by Stephen Luff
Michael has produced a number of recordings and DVDs inviting children to enjoy visits to 'Topsy Turvy Kingdom' and tough investigations with his character Inspector Smart. This is his fourth album where once again, with a combination of song, humour and Bible stories, we go on another journey, this time to Dendros, along with the entertaining crew of the Starship Juniper which includes Captain Archibald, Security Chief Igor and Mr Grumpy. The emphasis of the stories and songs is on the Old Testament and how this points to Jesus. Michael certainly has the ability to engage young ears, his songs entertain with infectious hooks and using foot tapping beats such as on "There's A Party Going On" (based on Isaiah 56), and his ability to fit the books of the Old Testament in "66 Books (Part One)" is jaw dropping! Adults will also enjoy the references to Star Trek with the "Captain's Log" and the humour in sketches where he is trying to guess his password!
