If you're a long time follower of the British gospel scene you'll know that IDMC are a well established choir, who though never reaching the heights of a LCGC or even ACM Gospel Choir have done sterling work down the years. Into the call and response fire of the old school choir sound director John Fisher has mixed some elements of funk, Motown and even rock, though it's when the choir connects to the heart of worship with soulful tracks like "Cry", "This Is My Desire" and that all time favourite "Amazing Grace" that this set really takes off, though it has to be said that the covers of old soul evergreens like "Higher And Higher" and "Love Train" don't stand up against the originals. If I had to choose a favourite track it would have to be "Falling In Love" with simple lyrics that overflow with truth and transport you out of this world and into the arms of the Heavenly Father. All in all, a strong album.
