Recorded in the early 90'S at Muscle Scholes, Alabhama with producer Joey Holder these are adequate but no more rendissions of songs from the ground breaking catalogue belonging to New Zealand's David and Dale Garratt. So what of the songs? Most are Scripture In Song originals, many previously recorded on earlier Scripture In Song albums and these new versions are vastly superior to the original renditions. Also the new batch of copyrights, largely by the underrated Ramon Pink are of a high standard. But many of Scripture In Song classics from the pens of Brent Chambers, Wayne Drain and David Garratt himself have already been widely circulated in good standard recordings in other album series while its noticeable that some of the outstanding songs here ("Celebrate", "He is Exalted" and "All Heaven Declares") aren't Scripture In Song copyrights. All in all if you like the songs on these albums, and want good contemporary renditions of them you may want to investigate this album.
