The American Christian music have been dishing out the highly successful Wow CDs, videos and, now, DVDs for a few years now, mainly to promote the latest Christian music fare - a mix of the very good with the very mediocre. Though there are some videos with high production values (in particular the fabulous "Expressions Of Your Love" performed by Rebecca St James and Chris Tomlin) these are accompanied by recordings of live performances, some of which very much miss the mark. It's an adequate collection of a sample of worship music from the past few years, but it's nothing more than that and I only wanted to watch again less than half of them. Perhaps if you're starved of good worship this is a boon, but if not there's not really that much exciting here. Artists showcased here include the Newsboys, 4Him, randy Travis, Plus One, Planet Shakes, Tim Hughes and Salvador. Oh and Matt Redman, you don't endear yourself to me by having your hands in your pockets and slouching while you're leading worship, even if "The Wonderful Cross" is a fantastic song.
