It's most difficult to find a compilation that doesn't appear to be a clone of many others on offer, but Kingsway have done a really good job with this one. Both the studio and live CDs feature major artists and worship leaders such as Tim Hughes, Delirious?, Paul Oakley and Gareth Robinson which gives a good spread of styles whilst maintaining the quality of the content. Tracks will be familiar to the majority of contemporary Christian music, with the likes of "Over The Mountains And The Sea" from Delirious? and 'Good And Gracious" by Gareth Robinson who also does a highly charged and passionate version of the classic hymn "Love Divine" on the live CD. One criticism I would have is that it's not obvious from the packaging who is singing which song so unless you're a Christian music buff, you'll be left in the dark. But still, a highly listenable compilation.
