This is, as the title says, a sampler of 15 tracks from ICC recording artists. As such many of the songs have little or nothing in common, other than the label link. With 15 songs at £1.99 it can hardly be judged as any other full priced album release. We're not coming to this expecting to find this release vying for the Brit Award. There are a number of tracks which are firmly in the worship category, whether it's the Trent Vineyard or Spring Harvest. Add to that the full on rock of [crave] and the more subtle craft of Brian Houston on "Sugar Queen". Silliest title award (if we were to give awards) could go to Joanne Cash's "Cotton, Popcorn, Peanuts & Jesus" (could only be country music!). Perennial favourite Martyn Joseph also makes an appearance. Such a varied set is unlikely to become a treasured item in your CD list, but with the variety of styles on offer it's probably well worth a spin if you're looking to try out some new artists before buying full albums. And you'll get change from £2!
