This is the third in the series of instrumental albums after 'Hymns' and 'Classical' and follows the same principle of underpinning well known songs with recordings from nature such as insects, waves, waterfalls and birdsongs. The worship tracks here are instrumental versions of well-known choruses from the 1972 classic "Seek Ye First" to the most modern 2006 "Hosanna - Praise Is Rising" with lots to choose in-between. The classical guitar on "God Of Wonders" is a particular highlight along with the piano and cello on "Wonderful, Merciful Saviour". The tracks are well crafted and produced with some fine musicianship though after awhile babbling brooks and rainforest backdrops, a meditational novelty at first, become a distraction.
