Reviewed by Trevor Kirk
This series seeks to present classic P&W material in a way that will "bring the listener into a deeper spiritual place.this music will bring comfort, refreshment and a sense of peace and calm." The only credits on the sleeve are for the song titles and the composers; there is no mention of the names of the singers and musicians, which I deplore. The songs themselves are well-known (and in some cases well-worn), the production is up to the usual Integrity standard, but there's a sense of familiarity about it that could bring contempt, which is sad. Taken in small doses, these albums are perfectly acceptable (and radio-friendly, says he, wearing his UCB hat), but sitting through 40 minutes at a stretch is like eating a box of chocolates all in one go.
