Each year in September, Southside hosts “The Edge Conference” where people from all states of Australia and overseas come to be equipped and encouraged. This album captures what happened at that conference, where people spontaneously gave God everything in music, prophecy and worship.

A great live worship album! This CD drew me into glorious moments of worship as
I listened to it.

TRUST
music from
The Highway Community
Mountain View, California
www.highway.org

  Some incredible worship sounds are emerging from the Golden State these days! The Highway Community began as an alternative service within Los Altos First Baptist Church back in '93 and now runs as an independent church plant. Project co-founder John Riemenschnitter leads worship and also co-ordinates the Community's successful small groups strategy.

  The 16 tracks that make up this outstanding output (yep 16 cuts and a full 1 hour 16 mins listening!) combine some chunky roots-rock praise with equally intense moments of semi-acoustic charm. Song selection too is a delightful blend - having built up a strong repertoire over the years, John's creative eight-song set (two co-written by lead guitarist/drummer and producer Kevin Marks) fits most ably alongside tunes penned by the likes of Prosch, Ruis and David Crowder.

  This is accomplished stuff! With so much to choose from - and all so darn good - selecting 'highlights' is purely subjective, though I'm especially drawn to the emotive challenge of
'The elusive freedom' and the adoration of 'Psalm 84'. Trust delivers stirring, accessible Gen-x worship that rings with sincerity and depth. I love it.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB
by Chris DuPre
A night of live worship
Recorded at Metro Christian Fellowship Sep 17, 2000

Words and music by Chris DuPre
Spontaneous song by Julie Meyer

Acoustic guitar - Chris DuPre
Keyboards - Nick Syrett
Drums - Todd Ganovski
Bass - David Wiens
Electric guitar - Luke Sullivant
Violin - Ronda Adams
Background vocals - Julie Meyer, Greg Stone, Amy Sutherland

  Hailing from Rochester, New York (with it's fascinating spiritual history), Chris Dupre has lived in Kansas City for the past decade, recently heading the worship team of the Metro Christian Fellowship (with it's own intriguing history). This live recording is Dupre's third solo output - his previous "Divine Romance" being part of the 'In My Father's House' series.   
  The songs are all Chris-composed, and while showing substantial musical diversity, are all accessible and genuinely worshipful. I find his flowing sound & style comparable on occasion to that of Scott Brenner (on
'You are there' he also shares a song-title), to the worship sensibilities of Graham Kendrick (e.g. 'Glory and Honour', my personal favourite) and, on a couple of tracks to the edgier tones of David Ruis, with whom he has also co-recorded. On the closing 'As a seal' Julie Meyer lends her delicate lead vocals, as too on the deep and tender spontaneous piece.
 
Strong guitar riffs ring out on some tracks, while violin strains grace others. This could be Chris Dupre's last album for some time - a man of intercession, he is devoting more time to Kansas City's International House of Prayer ministry. Meanwhile, "Worthy is the Lamb" is a passionate expression - sure to strike a chord with any worshipper's heart.

IN THE LANGUAGE
by Mary Barrett
Merritt Island, Florida

“When we are together there is life in the language.”

Produced and Engineered by Joel Wild at FootStep Studios.
Guitars - Rosco Meeks, Mary Barrett, Jimmy Anderson and
Kevin McCarthy
Keyboards - Blair Masters, Len Fedorowicz
Bass - Len Fedorowicz, Ray Tropea
Drums - Dennis Holt
Backing vocals - Beverly Wild, Joel Wild, Jimmy Anderson, Rosie Anderson,
Len Fedorowicz and Donna Hale
Orchestra arrangements - Prague Philharmonic Orchestra

  Life has a different pace in Merritt Island, Florida, the home of Calvary Chapel, where Mary Barrett lives and worship’s.  This new CD from Mary has a lazy beauty, flooded with the rays of the warm white sunshine.  Mary’s voice makes you want to get the ice tea out and sit on the porch and let the music of God wash over you.
  I spoke with Mary via e-mail and asked her what was her desire for this CD? For it features songs of worship and songs with a clear gospel message.  Her response was, ”these songs are a mixture of favorites that have come out of my personal relationship with the Lord, most of them during trials and valley walks.”  She also has a desire to reach the lost. “In the Quiet” and “Whirlwind” featuring some effective and classy electric guitar work. These songs are about certain individuals in her life.

  I detected some early Out of the Grey touches and jangling guitars reminiscent of the Byrds.  Her delivery of the songs shows a person who loves to sing simple and powerful emotive songs. My particular favorite is “That I May Know You.” Her crystal clear voice combines with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra on this and other songs. It is an unusual and effective touch. The title track, “In The Language,” has a soft shuffling beat. Mary’s favorite instrument is a simple acoustic guitar; there are superb examples on this collection.
  I have been playing this CD over and over again. It has blessed me tremendously. Meticulously and expertly produced by Joel Wild, son of Pastor Malcolm Wild of Malcolm and Alwyn fame!  Mary is part of the worship band at Merritt Island were they enjoy singing the following songs from her CD in their worship services.  “I will abide,” “So Close” and “Quiet my mind,” this track is an undiscovered worship classic!  “I hope these songs will bless and encourage you,” Mary writes on the liner notes, and I believe you will not be disappointed.
