IN YOUR PRESENCE
from Christian Life Centre
Mount Annan Sydney Australia
www.revivalnow.org.au
worship lead by Mike Ambler and Andrew Gray
all songs written by Mike Ambler except for “Prophesy”

Recorded live on 25th to 28th April at “The Empowering 2000” Mount Annan’s annual youth conference. Over 1000 young people packed the auditorium and experienced the most awesome presence of God ever.

After the first two tracks, I was thinking this CD was going to be nothing out of the ordinary, but then came the rest of the CD.
“Let Our Hearts Be One” is a great rolling upbeat “dancin” number. “Prophesy” is another very upbeat track “We’re living in revival, Prophesy, Prophesy, Prophesy to the dry bones”.

The 13 minute “Keep Coming Holy Spirit”, will stir you to go out and win the world for Christ and you’re only at track five, and here comes the 11 minute title track “In Your Presence” - a big flowing worship song that starts slow and builds. “I Will Come” is a slower worship song that draws you deep into the Presence of the Lord and concludes with a tremendous 7 minute instrumental section. The CD closes out with a beautiful worship song “I will Love You”.
   I will love You for all eternity
   You have saved me and You set this captive free
   I will serve You
   You have brought me to this place
   And I will tell all of Your Mercy and Your grace.
This is some CD! One of the best ones we’ve heard.

"In Your Presence"

  The wealth of quality worship music oozing from Christian centres 'down under' is truly amazing. This is the third production from Mount Annan (the previous albums also appearing on GoldUSA's listing), and it's surely the best yet. Pastor Adrian Gray says his church is currently experiencing revival, with 'early signs of phenomenal favour and success'. Hence the title of this project, and hence the sense of passion evoked by this dedicated band of worshippers.
  The set kicks in with a trio of bright'n'breezy praise songs that really lift your spirit and insist on your participation!. 'I will sing..', for example, is pure rock'n'roll worship and like it's companions, contains some generous sax flourish. 'Prophesy' is the only track on the disc not written by worship leader Mike Ambler - composed by Chris O'Brien from CCC, Oxford
Falls, it is deliberately atmospheric and stirring; though, like the warm, yearning flow of the ensuing 'Keep coming, Holy Spirit', (which extends to 13.5 minutes!), it tends to sound slightly repetitive towards the close. Mike's piano adds suitable class to the flowing title-track, while a moody 7-min instrumental ends the equally intimate 'I will come'.
  No studio over-dubs were added to this recording - it's got a fresh, 'live' feel all the 73 minute way - with a couple of powerful prayer cries/exhortations left in to boot. The result is a vibrant snapshot of the heart-felt worship experienced by this church - passionate music to touch your soul.

WERE YOU THERE
by Scarlet Hope
from Chino Hills, California

Scalet Hope is:
Alex Martin - Bass
Tami Yee - Vocals
Julie Worthey - Vocals
David Whitford - Percussion
Dana Hess - Guitar & Vocals
Rob Ogden - Vocals
Heather Henry - Vocals

Scarlet Hope website

The sound of Scarlet Hope can be described as “Acoustic Praise and Worship with a really cool vibe”. It is a unique configuration of 3 instruments and four vocals. Acoustic guitar, bass and percussion, 3 female vocals (sopranos and altos) and 1 male vocal (tenor).
The musical and vocal excellence is exceeded only by the sound doctrine of the lyrics. Most of which are pulled directly from scripture. A great job was done by the producer David Jeremiah and recording engineer Tim Jacquette in bringing the sound together.

"Were You There"

  'Acoustic praise & worship with a really cool vibe' - that neatly describes the music from this group of gospel communicators who came together within Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills, CA. Under encouragement from pastor Jack Hibbs they recorded a selection of their songs and now juggle a busy touring schedule with strong family commitments.
  It's Scarlet Hope's vocal strength that is immediately and ever impressive - the perfect combination of lead and harmony sounds really make you stop and listen. Thus tunes like 'Lifter of my head' (based on Ps.2), the yearning cry of 'Revive me', and the cross-centred 'Precious gift' (Matt.27, Heb.6) - three of my favourites - not only pulse with the hope that forms part of the band's name, but are also exquisite in their stunning and tender beauty. All songs were written by band members/colleagues save the light jazz of 'We bring praises' (a Vineyard song) and the traditional 'Were you there'. This unhurried hymn, once again Calvary-focused, allows all singers to take their turn at lead mike and builds up to a powerful
moment. Indeed, the theme extends to the closing 'Open were the wounds', which, too, is deeply reflective and quite gorgeous. Instrumentation throughout consists mainly of acoustic guitar and light percussion - bringing out fully the vocal clarity and power of lyrics.
  This is unpretentious worship that really touched my heart. I love the simplicity of it all - heart-felt songs you can easily sing along to or use in your own group. Chances are though - with one listen to this disc you'll be seeking to book Scarlet Hope to a church near you.....soon!

OVERWHELMED
Hillsong Australia
from the Hillsong Worship Series
Studio recording

The Hillsong Worship Series is designed to encourage you in your own worship time. This is the 4th is the series and would normally be titled “Simply Worship 4”, however Hillsong has given it the title “Overwhelmed”. They picked a good title because this CD will overwhelm you in worship. Most of the songs are new and in the slower style. GoldUSA thinks this could be the BEST Hillsong CD they have ever produced. It is “Simply Beautiful” and will make our Top 10.

John 18:37
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this cause was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

The Cause of Christ.
Comments by Brian and Bobbie Houston, the senior pastors at Hillsong Church:
Our first album of the new millennium is a powerful testimony of what we live for:
The Cause of the King and the Kingdom!
For this cause, the songs on this album were written, and for this cause, the songs on this album are sung. Our prayer is that the power and passion of the Cause will increase and impact your life in a dynamic way.

Hillsong has once again released a fresh new recording with 13 new songs and one taken from the Hills Youth album.
For This Cause is the new Hillsongs CD released in conjunction with their yearly conference held in July. Many different song writers contribute to this album. They are: Reuben Morgan, Ned Davies, Paul Ewing, Russell Fragar, Marty Sampson, Darlene Zschech, David Moyse, Raymond Badham, Donna Lasit, and Joel Houston. The CD starts out with three upbeat songs (which are all good), and then really started to flow for me at song 4 ‘Dwell in Your House’, and just kept right on until the end. A must buy in praise & worship music!

HOLY MOUNTAIN
by Russ Hughes
Live praise & worship recorded at
St. Luke’s Church, Maidstone, England
from Alliance Music
All songs by Russ Hughes

Holy Mountain has been a two year project and is one of the best live praise & worship CDs of 2000. Russ Hughes has been leading worship for many years in different environments from prison ministries to large conferences. Russ is currently heading up the worship ministry at St. Luke’s Church in Maidstone England.
The opening title track ‘Holy Mountain’ will immediately grab your attention - a great praise song. There are many other outstanding songs on this album, one is ‘Have Mercy’. We highly recommend this CD - it has a great sound, about half the songs are upbeat and the rest slower.

Russ Hughes website

"Holy Mountain"

  Looks like Stoneleigh and Spring Harvest are up with some strong competition! Along the same lines as these Brit-P&W ventures, "Holy Mountain" is an energetic collection of brand new praise and worship songs designed for congregational use and recorded in a live church setting. Although he's been an active worship leader/song writer and conference speaker for quite some time, Russ Hughes' name is still largely unknown to most worship enthusiasts. This 13-track release will soon put paid to that!
  Russ's vocals are good, the backing band is tight; but it's the quality of the songs themselves that truly makes the album stand out. Strong, catchy and varied tunes, combined with compelling lyrics, usually directly Scripture-based, makes for worship material that is bound to be highly in demand in congregations throughout the UK and beyond. The opener and title-track is a great rouser and an excellent introduction to worship. 'With all of my heart' too is infectiously lively. 'As we draw near to God' and 'All I can do' are gently flowing, each enhanced by Esther Alexander's gorgeous co-lead vocals. (Recording artist Simon Goodall also provides additional vocals to some tracks). The song-quality continues with the meditative 'Wait on the Lord', the passionate 'I need You', and the gently-flowing 'Your loving kindness'. My only quibble is 'Faith song' and 'Choose today' which I find slightly simplistic/repetitive.
  Great songs, and an excellent local church resource, with sheet music and OHP masters also being available. There's a fair chance that some of these songs are going to be winging their way to a church near you - soon. If you want to be prepared, then check out "Holy Mountain".
