Living Is Christ (LIC) is a group from London. "Made Up Yo Mind" is a cool opening track, with beats and vocals working well together. Unfortunately while LIC are definitely talented vocally, the cheap production on the album really lets the side down. The intro to "Father You're All" has a really scary, spoken intro that sounds like it was recorded by a clone of Darth Vader crossed with Barry White. It does improve after that though. It's too bad, because the rest of the super-long track is full of great melodies. "Never Leave You" has an African groove and wild vocals and is very different from the rest of the album, and this is one of the problems for the group. Low budget production plus unfocussed songs mean that at the end of listening to the album, it's difficult to clearly perceive what LIC are.
