The latest in the excellent Nitro Praise series, this uplifting CD gives a new twist to several well known Christmas tunes. Though not for the super-conservative traditionalists amongst us, who would no doubt be somewhat surprised at the reworking of their favourite hymns, it is definitely worth a listen. The tracks are of variable quality, partly as certain hymns seem better suited to a dance beat, and the pop style worship of Scott Blackwell et al. My favourites include the groovy "Feliz Navidad" and the highly danceable "Joy (To The World)" and "First Noel". As an added bonus, you get freebie instrumentals of all the tracks; providing a slightly more mellow end to the album. Altogether, a worthwhile addition to my CD collection which improves at every listen. For all sanctified dance fans, a must for that Christmas rave!
