Interesting. While The Jesus Fellowship, Springwood Church and a dozen more churches and movements take British charismatic praise into the pop/rock world of today, the Restoration Movement once seemingly the pioneers in joyful, uninhibited praise seem to have gone for something blander, more orchestrated and a little more American sounding with Hosanna/Vineyard approach (in fact, both Hosanna and Vineyard songs are featured here). The handful of new Restoration songs certainly don't seem to have the same quality as the Don Moen, Billy Funk, etc, all American ones, so perhaps it's all a case of relying on our American cousins until Restorationism develops another batch of David Haddens et al. As an album, this has limited appeal for those who didn't attend the event.
