Passionate worship from the Church Of Christ The King, Brighton, the epicentre of the New Frontiers church stream and the HQ of such well worship leaders and songwriters such as Stewart Townend, Lou Fellingham and Simon Brading. The Oasis-style opening of "You Reign", led by Brading moves seamlessly into Lou Fellingham and Phatfish's gentle yet powerful rendition of "Breathe". From then on there is not a single track which doesn't bear repeated listening or fail to uplift or provoke thought. Townend's striking "Gethsemane" with powerful spoken intro leading into mournful violin is arresting while Rebekah Cox's "This Is For Me" with rock guitar and keyboard opening works well. The title track's moving reflections on the incarnation and the lively, folky sound of Townend's "Come People" are other highlights. A quality set.
