Live worship albums often stand or fall by the quality and quantity of new songs they introduce to the worshipping churches. Unfortunately, this 2005 release, although expertly recorded and produced by Paul Burton at the Brighton Centre and featuring top name worship leaders Stuart Townend, Kate Simmons and Louise Fellingham, has too many over familiar songs to take it beyond the memento-for-people-at-the-event category. Bags of atmosphere, excellent guitar work from Dan Wheeler and some strong vocals but we could really do without these versions of Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God", Redman's "Dancing Generation", Story's "Indescribable" and Simmonds' "I'm Grateful".

This is the lastest offering from the New Frontiers worship
team called 'The Power Of The Cross' recorded in the
Brighton Centre with 5000 delegates. The worship leaders
featured are Stuart Townend, Kate Simmonds, Lousie
Fellingham (lead singer of Phatfish) and South Africian Evan
Rogers. The standard of musicianship is superb and the
selection of material is excellent. This is a great live
worship album with a selection of fresh new songs that lift
the listener into glorious worship.

Unfortunately, Tony Cummings review of this album is 3 years
late and consequently he has unfairly criticsed Newfrontiers
for not introducing enough new worship tunes into the
church. Actually, besides Lord Im Grateful every song on
this album was new in 2004/2005 and the musicmanship of the
album is above most others. The strong vocals from Stuart,
Kate, Evan and Lou reflect the vibrant atmosphere of this
annual event which sees many gathered in the presence of
God. The quality of the Phatfish band and the production by
Paul Burton make this an oustanding album and I will have to
disagree with Tony on his review!
