We just received the following review from Crossrhythms - one of the largest web based christian radio stations in the UK. (crossrhythms.co.uk)
Helen Dean
Mark. This album features live worship recorded in the UK, France, Italy
and the Czech Republic. The project hopes to stir faith and call Europe
back to God. Spoken worship of Bible reading from Isaiah 58 in different
languages, poems read by inspirational Europhile Gerard Kelly, and a
passionate prayer in French, strongly contribute to the depth of the
album. "I Believe" opens and sets the tone for what follows, aiming for
living a life that leaves a legacy of love. This passionate care and
concern for people, in Europe and beyond, comes out most clearly in the
lyrical "For The Glory Of Your Name" lifted by the violin of Klara
Valentova. She also adds a lovely high string quality to the simple but
effective "Love Came Down", gives an eastern feel to "Live A Life" and
is joined by guest Czech string quartet on "Restore". "Turn The Light
On" is a lively jazzy track recorded in Florence featuring eye-popping
soprano sax accompaniment from guest Christian Pacini. The talented
musicians and presentation are generally low key, not muted and
downbeat, but exemplifying passionate humility in a harmonious
collaboration that doesn't try to be glossy. The bonus DVD underscores
the passion of the CD.
