Another release from the Kingsway praise and worship machine. At £5.99 for 20 songs the obvious comparison is with Kingsway's 'New Songs' series. This, though, is more a 'favourites' compilation than the latest songs to do the rounds and there are a few golden oldies on here as well as some more up to date tracks. Although not credited as such (in fact, there are no artists credits at all), the tracks are all culled from previous Kingsway releases, so there won't be anything that you can't get somewhere else - in fact, I only found a couple of songs that were new to me. That also means that the quality ranges from mediocre to excellent, depending on the original recording, so it's a bit of a hit and miss listening experience. However, the selection of songs is good and there is a ready market for such compilations among new Christians and those new to contemporary worship. For the price, this is a worthwhile addition to the cassette racks.
