CD and DVD package of live worship from Newday 2008 with acts like Simon Brading, Phatfish and Tree63. 2008 is the 5th event for young people from Newfrontiers churches across the UK, which is growing in attendance every year. This summer saw over 6000 young people gathering together at Uttoxeter Showground to worship God and learn more about serving Him with their whole lives. |

Reviewed by Paul S Ganney Recorded live at Uttoxeter racecourse in 2008 featuring artists/worship leaders such as Simon Brading, Lou Fellingham, Phatfish, Paul Oakley, Tree63 and Yfriday this CD has the feel you would expect (the U2-esque guitars, the flowing piano, the overt lyrics). Not that such familiarity is necessarily a bad thing - this is worship, after all, and if it's too creatively original you're unlikely to be able to join in easily. Thankfully, the album contains almost all new songs (unless you were there, of course). The sound and production qualities are top-notch (in places it's only the crowd that reminds you of the live origins of the recordings). The CD has a fair range of stuff - from the up-tempo here-we-go anthems to more meditative songs plus ones that take you on a journey both lyrically and musically. If you're looking for a worship CD for inspiration (either to learn new songs from or for personal devotions) you could do a lot worse than this one. The DVD contains four live tracks, two talks, an interview and some promo material for the 2009 event. But it's the CD that I would play more than once. Standout tracks: "God Of This City" and "We Shine". More from NewdaySee all...
