Reviewed by Nigel Bayley

Each year, along with a plethora of others, the Newfrontiers family of churches release a live CD of worship from their conference. There are 12 tracks on this particular one, which are well chosen and are a good selection of old and new; taking traditional hymns like "When I Survey" and "Amazing Grace" and throwing them into the mix with contemporary favourites like "Mighty To Save" and "Everlasting God". The bands, fronted by Matt Redman, Simon Brading and Kate Simmons, all perform well, and the three aforementioned leaders are obviously all good at what they do, singing clearly and enticing people into worship. The barnstorming version of John Newton's classic hymn which closes the album is certainly a highlight, bouncing along with tangible energy and demanding that you join in. So there's really nothing about 'Amazing God' that disappoints, yet neither is there anything to separate it from the enormous crowd of similar and equally commendable releases.


Sample Track Listing:
1. The Greatest Day In History [mp3]
2. Everyone Needs Compassion [mp3]
3. You Did Not Consider [mp3]
4. Strength Will Rise [mp3]
5. Looking In The Sky [mp3]
6. We Bow Before The Holy One [mp3]
7. When I Survey The Wondrous Cross [mp3]
8. Wake Every Heart [mp3]
9. Jesus Christ [mp3]
10. The Starts In Their Courses Above [mp3]
11. My Salvation Is Secure [mp3]
12. Amazing Grace [mp3]

brilliant album!! newfrontiers always produce the best live albums - this one being a good resource for new songs and the newday one being slightly more rocky. yet this album still delivers with some pounding tracks like happy day, pouring out and all that you are. the sound quality is very impressive, not too much congregation and crisp instruments such as the electric guitar, bass and keyboard really show thru along with soaring vocals by lou fellingham, atmospheric vocals by matt redman, crisp vocals by simon brading and sensitive vocals by kate simmonds with a bit of fun evan rogers to top it all off. a VALUABLE resource to any christian, young and old.

What a great release. A fine example of how live albums should be. Full of atmopsheric praise, high quality playing and stunning production. The vocals of Lou Fellingham are particularly impressive on Pouring Out, whilst Phatfish back on 90% of the tracks with solid, professional playing that puts other live albums to shame. Upbeat, soaring praise, with a good library of new and old songs for the modern church. Newfrontiers continue to lead by example in producing the "yearly conference live worship album", as they have done for nearly 14 years.
