If you've read the Cross Rhythms article you'll know that Satellite are a groundbreaking collective of Scottish musicians and worship songwriters. This project was put together by David and Yvonne Lyon, both of course well known artists in their own right, and it truly does lift the veil on some of the grassroots talent ministering in Scotland's diverse churches. 'One Church, One Voice' starts with the title track, a celebratory folk-style song sung by Jane MacDowall. Elsewhere there is an impressively diverse set of songs. If you still enjoy the pop rock sound of Matt Redman you'll find something not dissimilar on the Allan McKinlay song "In Your Name" written by the two Lyons while a particular standout is "How Infinite Your Love" (written by Fiona Poulson and sung with sublime passion by Yvonne Lyon). Other great tracks are "The Lord Reigns" (written Martin Williamson with some wonderful fiddle and accordion accompaniments); "We Rejoice", a memorable David Lyon composition sung by that veteran pioneer of Scottish worship Ian White, and "King Of Compassion" penned and sung by Peter Semple. From snappy pop rock to wistful meditative folk, this is indeed a different slant on modern worship lovingly put together.
