'Celebrate - Praise - Worship' is a five-track EP of praise and worship instrumentals from Park Forest, Illinois-based production team UCAS Touch. Composed, arranged, recorded and produced entirely by team members Scott Oliver and Will Wilson the aim is to "take the listener into the presence of God". Opener "Definitive Praise" is a pleasant, melodic, bright piece creating an atmospheric soundscape of synths, strings, airy beats and sparse piano. The up-tempo "Eminent Praise" has a more pronounced vibrant mix. "Sing A New Song" is a chilled, slower worshipful track but the overall mood and tone here is upbeat and lively. There is no doubt that the EP would provide a reasonable background soundscape for prayer and reflection though truthfully there is not much to differentiate the tracks from each other.
