	LIVE 3 - HEAVEN & EARTH by The Worship Band from Calvary Chapel, Merritt Island, Florida www.footsteprecords.com

Several creative and acclaimed recordings have appeared from individual members of Florida's Calvary Chapel Merritt Island over the years (namely from Mary Barrett, Malcolm & Alwyn and Before You Breathe, alias Joel & Beverley Wild), but on this live worship experience, the third so far in the series, musicians from the church come together to create another warm, flowing, collective expression of adoration and praise.

The thirteen songs on offer are taken from a wide range of sources - and dates! An upbeat tune written by Cheri Keaggy (niece of guitar legend Phil) sets the ball rolling, and is followed by striking versions of songs from Tommy Walker, Rick Founds (Maranatha), and Vineyard's Terry Butler and Marie Barnett. Mixed in with all this, approximately half the tracks are drawn from CCMI's own writers; Alwyn Wall contributes three totally new and deeply thoughtful worship ballads; while the fresh, joyful 'Heaven and Earth' is as reminiscent of a Darlene Zschech song as her own 'I will run to You', which is also given sensitive rendition. Two of my favourites however, are the '91 Jernigan classic 'You are my all in all' (pity they don't add those layered harmonies though) and 'I am thine oh Lord', a delightful adaptation of an old Fanny Crosby hymn. My only quibble is the cover of Redman's 'Better is one day' , which doesn't work as well as it does on, say, Passion '99 or Kate Miner's Live at the Strip, not to mention Matt's original.

There's a quite unique and timeless quality to this intimate yet congregational album - giving it the feel of an impromptu recording from the worship renewal of the '70's. Yet the sound is thoroughly relevant today, the flow of anointed worship making compelling listening and requiring a personal worship response from all who listen. With tight musicianship that is never intrusive and beautiful lead vocals (Ms Barrett has the most clear and striking voice), Heaven & Earth is a worthy disc!

	I WILL BOW TO YOU with Bob Fitts www.bobfitts.com from Integrity Music


	Recorded live in Singapore at The Rock, part of New Ceation Church


	Tracks: 1. To Honor You 2. You Are Worthy 3. Yea O God 4. Song of Every Age 5. I Love To Be With You 6. Your Love is Better Than Life 7. I Will Join 8. Pull Me Closer 9. I Will Bow To You 10. Blessed Assurance 11. Blessed Assurance (reprise) / free worship 12. I’m Held By Your Love 13. Testimony 14. Constant Companion 15. Of All the Things About You

A peaceful spirit of worship pervades this latest release from world traveled worship leader Bob Fitts. The project has a gorgeous, soothing feel resonating from nearly every track. Bob knows what pleases his audiences and this concert, recorded in Singapore, was an attempt at embracing different cultures and different ages. I don’t believe after listening numerous times that any age or race would be offended by the wonderful worship tunes lined up one after the other.

We are treated to a Vineyard sounding song at the beginning, “To honor You.” This is just what the songs do. They are strong, melodic and often repeat choruses so people will be able to sing along immediately. Besides being songs others can perform, the project is a “worship experience,” for the listener. Bob has a warm and friendly rapport with the audience and doesn’t drift off into prayers of passion that can sometimes be less effective after the first hearing.

I particularly enjoyed the two songs by his son, Andy. An up and coming young worship leader, his songs have a beautiful simplicity, relying heavily on acoustic guitar and over layered with ensemble voices and tight instruments, they are highlights in this set. Mixed in with these modern songs is an updated version of “Blessed Assurance,” the old hymn develops into a time of free worship, the old melds with the new! I am glad that hymns are not forgotten, we who love the modern worship music, must not spawn a generation of people who do not know the old hymns with their rousing tunes and images of glory!

“Your love is better than life,” builds dramatically, the vocal group being used as the texture lifts in praise, Bob lifting his voice in joy! Other songs that stood out for me were the smooth and passionate, “I will Join;” you will be singing the chorus to this song! “I will sing the song of saints and angels, holy, holy, holy Jesus You are Holy.” “Constant Companion,” is another song that slowly builds to an awe inspiring chorus.

Bob has released a project that is an excellent example of the high quality of the worship music that is constantly being written for the glory of God and for us to be inspired to draw closer to Him.

New Day

The cover graphic invites the listener through the prison gates into a New Day, a place of beauty, peace and wondrous freedom. Such day began on the dawn of Jesus' resurrection, and it is the New Life offered by such event that the Doug Gilmour worship team celebrate on this live sophomore indie recording. Building on the strengths of Diamonds, New Day oozes a musical / spiritual maturity and unique artistic style that are entirely winsome.

Initial tracks carry a triumphant beat, effusing a full, jazz-praise sound (vaguely comparable to music of Phil Driscoll) filled with rich tones from trumpet/trombone, violin, organ and essential backing vocals. Doug's own rootsy harmonica vibes are a further utter delight on these funk-tinged, self-composed tracks, while the lead guitar break on 'Seek Your face' is just as compelling. And while such upbeat rhythm is again found on the Megan Gilmour composed/led 'You satisfy me' , mood settles to a warm, gentle flow on most other tracks, such as Karen Workman's charming 'The fig tree', and the slow-jazz intimacy of 'Within the veil' and moody romance of the 9-min 'Morning song', both of which find Doug's deep, earthy vocals to be somewhat reminiscent of the mature, laidback sound of Californian worship musician Terry Clark.

A couple of sensitive yet quite differing spontaneous worship 'Selahs' (the latter lasting an atmospheric 9 minutes) show just how creative and sensitive this team truly are, while the touching album theme track is saved until last; Todd Berger's 'New day' is an intense, slow-burning supplication, seeking God's glory to consume our lives, and reminiscent of a restrained Don Potter ballad (featuring TB's equally deep lead vocals, along with acoustic guitar and strummed violin). All in all, there's not one track on this 11-song, 74-minute recording that does not give fine effect, with Peter Workman's mixing/production sense again doing the job. Great music, powerful lyrics - New Day is a striking success!

	Recorded live at Church on the Rise (Westlake, Ohio) and Cornerstone Friend’s Church (Madison, Ohio), July 1999. All original material written by the Gilmour’s and Karen Workman who does keyboards and background vocals.

	"Diamonds" I knew this album was going to sound unique when I read the (serious) warning label stuck to the cover; 'May cause distraction. Spirit may intensify this effect. Use care when driving or operating heavy machinery'. Hmm, interesting! Doug Gilmore and wife Rhonda have been active as worship leaders in Cleveland, Ohio for over 14 years, placing an emphasis on waiting on the Lord in extended, uninterrupted worship. This is indeed how Doug leads proceedings on this 73-minute expression of celebration and intimacy - a collection of original songs interspersed with spontaneous 'prophetic selahs', as musicians are led along in heart-felt worship. Beginning with a couple of punchy, triumphant songs of praise, the mood changes quite dramatically on 'God has ascended' and beyond, to slower, deeply sensitive offerings, often with delicate accompaniment on piano and violin. Not all are sing-along choruses, but all are deeply inspiring pieces - most moving. The title-track 'Diamonds', like 'Lost in You', was penned by Karen Workman, and is a gorgeously simple song of worship: so too is the infectious lilt of track nine, based on Psalm 99:5. Karen provides background vocals and keyboards too - her husband Peter being the album's able producer. The final tune is a carefree percussion-based celebration inspired by Psalm 150, and comes complete with excellent horn, string and harmonica sections, though with a rather simplistic melody. Overall "Diamonds" is an intriguing and inspiring album, well worth checking out. Reviews by tom lennie
