This offers over an hour of worship, live and unedited, recorded during a worship and teaching conference at Vineyard's HQ in Anaheim, California. If like me, you've been made blasé by the endless activity of the worship album conveyer belt this album will bring renewed motivation to buy albums and once bought renewed opportunity to enter into the presence of God. For the anointing is clearly on 'Winds Of Worship'. Possibly the pivotal point on Volume One is where Brian Doerksen's quite beautiful "Song For The Bride" is intro'd with the worship leader (Brian?) exhorting the gathering to reach out and find fresh blessing in God's infinite reservoir of grace. An electric guitar plays ringing tonics underpinned by a haunting keyboard wash. By the time the song is reached a tender mood of devotion has been lovingly created.
