"Gorgonzola. Nothing but old stinky cheese!" These were my first thoughts as I unwrapped yet another double CD of regurgitated worship songs from Kingsway. Then I listened to the CD. I listened again. And again. And then I had to eat my own words. I have to admit this is by far the best collection of worship songs I've heard in a long time, but at first I was hard pressed to put my finger on just what is so good about it. Yet again for a collection of this nature, you will be familiar with a lot of the songs included, such as “Here I Am To Worship”, “Forever” and “Deep Is Calling To Deep”. I think the CD's success can be attributed to just one thing – the atmosphere of live worship which comes across through the recording draws you in and you feel part of the congregation who are featured on all the tracks. It feels like God was truly manifest during the recordings! This is epitomised by the simple and intimate rendition of “Hungry”, with just vocals and piano. So maybe not Gorgonzola after all. More like a fine mature Stilton – you sample a little and just have to keep coming back for more!
