Your reviewer is already feeling mild embarrassment at having failed to put the David Crowder Band s 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 that takes in everything from edgy neo hard rock through to acoustic pop balladry, the band have always stayed up there largely due to the excellence of their songwriting. On this new set Mark Stewart sings expressively and with as much passion as he s ever mustered while guitarist Tyler Burkum has a new zest and energy to his playing which at times resembles The Edge at his best.

This venture sees Chris Eaton and John Hartley (and, on some tracks, Gareth Robinson) pick 13 from Charles Wesley s 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.

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. He s had experience leading worship at the Newday and Mobilise Newfrontiers events and a couple of tracks from the Newday event ( You Reign and I m Alive ) feature in this short set. There s a lot of biblical imagery and Psalm-like language in the lyrics, which add to the sense of worship, and musically the influence of artists such as Matt Redman is clearly apparent. In fact, Redman has the co-writing credits on Many Times . It s an uplifting set from this young musician and there s plenty of promise here for the future.
