As far as ideas for compilation albums go, this is definitely a case of scraping the bottom of a barrel that was never that full to begin with. Anyone who knows anything about Christian music knows that Gotee's reggae repertoire consisted of just one act: Christafari (Temple Yard were the original Christafari lineup minus Mark Mohr). So it's no surprise that the bulk of this compilation is taken from Christafari's two Gotee albums. The one Ayiesha Woods track tacked onto the end of this only makes the whole exercise look all the more desperate. Re-releasing 'Soulfire' (or better still, re-packaging 'Soulfire' and 'Valley Of Decision' as a double CD the way Furious have just done with all the old Delirious? albums) would have made a lot more sense than this.
