This isn't just 'The Very Best Of, it's this Dutch happy hardcore band's debut release! It contains four tracks, all around 170-180bpm (makes jungle sound about as fast as this magazine's editor on a uni-cycle! ie, slow). Well-known choruses "We Wanna See Jesus Lifted High" and "Father God I Wonder" are given the European happy hardcore treatment, and good for a laugh they are too: candidates for an album called 'Praise Him On The Pogo-Stick'! Ridiculously fast pounding beats along with poppy synths and memorable tunes are the ingredients, though I can't help comparing some of the keyboard riffs to 1980's computer game music! Venga Boys also spring to mind in terms of style. Otherwise, production is good and the girls' vocals are fine though not outstanding. In conclusion, this is different, evangelistic, worshipful, and above all, FUN!
