This album is the final project from the Nashville harmony pop group 4Him showcasing a collection of favourites marking the end of a career spanning over 15 years. In addition to the classic tracks re-recorded especially for this album, there is a new song "Unity (We Stand)" featuring a vocal collaboration with Point Of Grace and FFH's Jeromy Deibler and four bonus solo songs from each member of the band. This CD shows great production and musical arrangements. "The Center Of The Mark" includes a beautiful string section and lush harmonies before growing into a rich anthem for the final choruses. The solo tracks are much the same style as the rest of the album apart from Kirk Sullivan's track "Get Down Mountain" which is a jazz gospel number with a rather funky bass, great brass section and fantastic gospel choir. Generally the sound of 4Him would appeal to the US market more than the UK, however this release is a great send off for a group who in the States have clocked up a startling 21 Christian radio number one hits.
