Reviewed by Christine Thompson
The album describes itself as containing “well crafted arrangements, coupled with fantastic musicians, which help set the mood of peace and tranquillity where intimacy with God can be found.” I agree it created more of a peaceful setting, but the tracks were nothing special and it sounded much like any other instrumental music CD in its style. I agree, it is a relaxing instrumental album, which contains new songs, but I had only heard of one of those new songs and I found it very hard to place the words, which are provided, into the tunes. It contains a range of instruments, mainly featuring co-producer Andrew Green’s piano and with well known sessioners like Simeon Wood (woodwind) and Robin Thompson-Clarke (cello) offering support. I wouldn’t say the album is anything special, I could imagine it playing in the background in the local Christian bookshop or at a dinner party but not something I would personally choose to listen to at home.
