Reviewed by Paddy Hudspith
This three-track single is a quality slice of mid-'80s electronica, a pumping groove and gentle melody line backing a choir and the voice of Pope John Paul II quoting words of Jesus from the gospel of John. The juxtaposition is a little jarring initially, but hearing the voice of the late pontiff laid over a modern musical backing is actually quite moving and thought-provoking, as Danilvosky works out familiar CR issues of the traditional religion engaging culturally with newer creative streams. The second track is identical to the first but without the Pope's "vocals" and the third removes the choral stuff too.
