I have to admit to being a big Robin Mark fan, so putting this CD into the machine was like meeting an old friend I haven't seen for a year. Mark, together with the worship team of CFC Belfast, have produced an album that has a particularly Irish feel, with old and modern classics together with some of the best from Mark's own repertoire. Gentle but powerful praise like his own "Kings And Nations" is mixed with covers of classics like "Blessed Be Your Name", all of which are given the same Belfast feel, more than just the ambiguous "Celtic". With old hymns like "My Song Is Love Unknown" given the Mark treatment, this a worship album that will appeal to a wide strata from hymnody to Soul Survivor, but who also want to experience the particular style that is behind the Summer Madness worship experienced by thousands every summer.
