The stark beauty of ‘Room For Grace’ first released in 1997 strikes us once again. "Days Of Elijah" made a big impression on churches with its prophetic feel. Though it's not all heavy duty, Mark has wit too. There's no doubt he's an effective and gifted songwriter. His vocals sometimes stray, wondering around either side of the frequency they are aiming for, but you can forgive a man that, can't you? Stop moaning. He writes fab songs. ‘This City, These Streets’ (1998) contains the 10 minute version of "Revival" which drifts through the atmosphere like the smell of honeysuckle on the summer breeze. I'm sure Mark is going to break into "American Pie" when he sings "Fathers & Sons" but he manages not to, only just though. We get music scores and OHP masters on the CDROM.
