Since we first heard those Australian praise albums with credits like Hillsongs and Youth Alive, we've been aware that some of the meatiest and most impassioned worship songs are stemming from a bespectacled Antipedean called Geoff Bullock. Now this compilation has helpfully brought together all his gems ranging from the 1988 'Spirit And Truth' Hillsongs album through to the 1993 title track. As has been commented on before, the Australians have a more contemporary approach to praise than the Brits or Americans and there is plenty of top rat musos evident here like David Holmes, Randall Waller, Peter Beveridge etc. My favourite cut is the newly recorded "We Need Reviving" with a breathtaking lead vocal from Darlene Zschech. Spine tingling stuff.
