What a mammoth task somebody had, compiling this series of 500 of the most popular UK praise and worship songs. These 50 tracks complete the collection and I am afraid the phrase "scraping the barrel" does spring to mind. It is many a year since I sang "I May Never March In The Infantry" and I have never sang "I Once Was Frightened Of Spiders". In fact "This Is The Air I Breathe" is the only one from this selection I have sung recently. Having to include popular children's songs makes for a particularly uneven collection while the renditions here are all pretty anonymous. Worship songs as a rule are best recorded live to capture the atmosphere but worship leaders may benefit from these clear, uncluttered studio recordings to learn songs from. The talented session singers do a sterling job but I'm kind of relieved this seemingly never-ending series has finally ground to a halt.
