Nystrom's previous Hosanna outings have familiarised P&W punters with his style, maybe he is best known for his composition "As The Deer". If only the songs on this live recording approached that standard. Songs like "Surely Goodness And Mercy", "Always" and "Rest In Your Love" cover musical ground that must have been trodden thousands of times by now. This really is all becoming almost unbearably repetitious, pointless and to be honest just plain boring. Everything's highly polished, totally professional, expensive and thoroughly wasted-out. Should you need such bland material in your collection you won't do better than this.

I think Martin's kind of music is serious work of art. I wish I could get more of his albums. The album we will draw near is a deep praise& worship thing. kudos Martin God bless you.

I DO NOT KNOW MR. MAY BUT APPARENTLY HE DOES NOT KNOW THE CONCPT OF PRAISE MUSIC PERHAPS. IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN NEGATIVITY. I WILL SIMPLY STATE I HAVE KNOWN MARTY FOR MANY YEARS AND I KNOW HIS HEART FOR GOD IS PURE, HONEST AND SEEKING TRUE WORHIP TO GOD.

I could not DISAGREE more with Tony May's review. This is one of the best worship CD's I've heard - Nystrom's music is "soulful" and I am looking for more of his work. There is nothing boring about it
