Naughty naughty Kingsway. We've said it before and we'll keep saying it till you listen to us! This is a wonderful CD, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHO ANY OF THE ARTISTS ARE! All the words to the hymns are printed out, but not a sausage about who these fantastic musicians and singers are. What honour does that give to God's creativity manifest in them? Yes, I'm annoyed about this. (I sit reading all the credits in the cinema too.) There are 25 hymns here, mostly new ones (several by Stuart Townend which is definitely alright by me), and some with new music to old words. Please, in hymns written this millennium, why are we still saying "You're the Lord of every man" and excluding 51% of humanity? "You're the Lord of the all earth" scans, and is inclusive. Just thought I'd mention it. Disc 1 is studio recordings - and they're great. Who's performing? Disc 2 is live recordings - yeah, where? who? But I'm heartened that the great art of hymn writing is far from dead, even though there's not an organ in sight!
