Anyone who caught their exceptional dance-orientated worship celebrations at the 1992 Greenbelt will know that these radical worshippers from Glasgow are pointing the way to churches grappling with how to find forms of praise and worship that speak to today's youth. So there's no guitar strumming in earshot, rather the ubiquitous thud thud thud of drum computers and a set of songs which span both congregational praise and more meditative think-pieces. It wouldn't be true to call this genuine house music, most of the vocalists are too rock-orientated for that while the material is largely verse/chorus songs rather than simply riffs. And certainly there's nothing that remotely warrants a 'rave' tag, the beats here are gentle enough not to upset your granny. But there are one or two excellent songs (hey organisers, let's hear) "God Is With The Walking Wounded" at Spring Harvest next year) while this all contributes to the pioneering rave/house/dance-style worship that one day Word or Kingsway will finally wake up to.
