Reviewed by Stephen Luff There are very few British church-based worship albums with enough supporters to make number one in the UKs Christian and Gospel Chart, but the worship team from the Bradford megachurch are one such ensemble. Under the leadership of Matt Hooper the team here deliver 13 songs, beautifully led by the in-house worship leaders Aaron, Eby, Jack, Chelsea and Johnny. Unusually for such a release, the opener is a gentle track, "How Can We Not (Give Praise)", but the pace soon q...

Reviewed by Tony Cummings This is surely one of the most important worship releases for many a long year. The Colorado-based musicianary defied all the odds to get permission to record and film a worship event and Beijing, China, and not only that took the opportunity to bring on to the platform local musicians playing indigenous instruments never previously heard in a contemporary worship setting. It is those sections of the DVD and CD which are therefore the most fascinating with Tingting pla...

Reviewed by Tony Cummings Your reviewer is already feeling mild embarrassment at having failed to put the David Crowder Bands classic A Collision album in the 20 Best Albums Of The Year Cross Rhythms feature and now his embarrassment is exacerbated as he realises that Until My Heart Caves In should probably be in that list as well. Since there emergence in 1992 Audio Adrenaline have proven to be probably the most consistently excellent rock band on the national scene. With an eclectic sound tha...

Reviewed by Tom Lennie This venture sees Chris Eaton and John Hartley (and, on some tracks, Gareth Robinson) pick 13 from Charles Wesleys abundance of classic hymns, completely rewrite the melodies, while getting a bunch of diverse Christian musicians to perform the ageless lyrics in contemporary musical styles. The aim is to show that "while 250 years have passed since Wesleys songs were first shared, they remain as powerful as ever today". Theres certainly a great line-up of varied and talent...

Reviewed by Ian Hayter This seven track CD of original material has been put together by Simon Brading, a young (20 years old) worship leader at the famed CCK church in Brighton. Hes had experience leading worship at the Newday and Mobilise Newfrontiers events and a couple of tracks from the Newday event ("You Reign" and "Im Alive") feature in this short set. Theres a lot of biblical imagery and Psalm-like language in the lyrics, which add to the sense of worship, and musically the influence of...

Reviewed by Paul S Ganney Maria Gilpin is a singer/songwriter and worship leader from Portadown, Northern Ireland and cites some of her influences as The Civil Wars and The Lumineers. Id probably add Adele and Alisha Keys to that list. She has a very clear and powerful voice tinged with an Irish accent that I liked a lot. The arrangements are fairly sparse (piano/guitar/gentle drums, all beautifully played), allowing her voice to shine. Lyrically her worship background powers through - theres n...

Reviewed by Helen Whitall Take Courage is the latest EP from Minneapolis band Boiling Point, with six tracks embracing a range of styles and instrumentation. The forceful pop-rock "In It To Win It" gets going with a key-dominated riff, the beat unusually a long way down in the mix below the keys and guitars. The tempo changes through the song, which is fun, but the tune itself becomes a little repetitive and the lyrics are nothing new. "Wont Let Go" brings the natural, textural vocals of Eric B...
