Let's be candid, the bookshop racks have been swamped with worship compilations over the last few years and it takes a particularly sparkling selection of tracks to engage this rather jaded reviewer. The fact that this double CD shines with such freshness is all to do with the quality of the songs ("Consuming Fire", "Awesome God", "Rain Down", "Hallelujah (Your Love Is Amazing)") and the top rate rock and pop performances offered here. With the Fierce!/Furious? roster (Delirious?, Eoghan Heaslip, Watermark, Jason Morant, Reuben Morgan) as the mainstay, this has been expanded out to great cuts from Matt Redman, Hillsong United, Chris Tomlin, Marc James, Hillsong, Tree63, Third Day, Tim Hughes and others. Contemporary worship has seldom sounded better.
