This gives the impression of a Sound Of Ministry album - packaging wise and the blurb on the cover. WRONG! This is not the chill out style coming out of clubland. The music presented here is far too wordy and far more song (verse, chorus, verse, etc) orientated than the club stuff. What is in fact showcased here is a collection of laid back worship choruses that are actually quite nice to listen to when you get over the initial annoyance. You get worshipful renditions of Matt Redman's "Facedown", Lara Martin's "God Is Here" and Noel and Tricia Richards' "You Are My Passion". However it's Godfrey Birtill's "When I Look At The Blood" which stands out for lyrics -"I can't see competition/I can't see hierarchy/I can't see pride and prejudice." All in all, the recordings here are okay - shame about the misleading packaging.
