You could look upon these guys as CCM's answer to the Chemical Brothers. They are not afraid to experiment and try new things and though their beats are not quite as phat at the aforementioned, they have some good ideas. They put vocal samples to good effect in "Unto Me" and the Moby-esqu "Holy", but in tracks like "What Wouldn't Jesus Do?" the beats are just not strong enough to effectively support the excellent rapping by Knowdaverbs. The Christafari remix, "This Tribulation" is a stunning piece of jungle, and simply overshadows the rest of the album, which is somewhat marred by pointless vocal vignettes lodged between every track. However, if you're into jungle and experimental house with a sense of humour, this is excellent stuff.
