When I received this album and noted the producer's name Ian Eskelin I thought, "Yes! Some decent dance music to review!" Then I saw the track listing. Would this "yesterday's hymns mixed for today's generation" concept work or would it be another feeble attempt at contemporising hymnody? But as soon as the first groove slammed into gear I knew that this album was a banging delight. There are some really hooky rhythms and great sound quality. Good old hymns that have been nearly worn out have been put to serious dance grooves. So nip out to your local Christian bookshop and buy a copy of it, and get dancing to "Amazing Grace" and "Power In The Blood"! The only low point (if you can call it a low point!) on the album is the song "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee", which features Crystal Lewis - I think that the vocals are a tad overdone. But overall, it's a hot album

Have a cassette of this but it is broken and would like to get it on CD. Can you tell me where I can get another copy or two?

I still have my tape from 1997 which I got while visiting New York and I love it! It still works! Can you tell me if there are any more tapes like this one?

your article was good, but can you tell me where I can still get a copy of this tape or cd. I had one back when it came out, but wore mine out and cannot find any info in this tape except here.
Thanks, lee
