Belfast's Robin Mark has an enviable portfolio of recordings with four studio and seven live worship albums under his belt and such classics as "Days Of Elijah" and "Jesus, All For Jesus" now being sung around the world. This well presented double CD (as the title suggests) is a compilation of studio recorded songs and live renditions of hymns. I can almost hear the cries of "oh no, not hymns" from fans of contemporary worship music, but these 10 classics including "Be Thou My Vision" and "O Lord My God (How Great Thou Art)" have been given a new lease of life with some imaginative musical interpretation over the timeless and powerful words. The studio worship tracks such as "Take Us To The River" are what you would expect from Robin - impassioned vocals, excellently produced pop rock music and thought-provoking lyrics. A great choice on which to spend your hard-earned cash!
