The title of this new one from Milton Keynes' finest is very appropriate, because they have indeed moved on from the teeny, dancey, poppy sort of stuff of their earlier releases and mellowed into a very capable band. They now have the wherewithal to make a name for themselves in the States, backed by the clout of Reunion Records, and they deserve to do well. Mark Pennells and Zarc Porter still have a considerable production and mixing influence, but several of these 12 tracks were mixed in Nashville, including the Regie Hamm and Dan Mukala penned "Left Behind", the theme from the film of the same name, which features vocals by Bryan Duncan. As for the rest, it's light and bright and listenable (and danceable), with very straightforward, direct lyrics and it's not difficult to see how they are able to communicate with the school kids to whom they minister with the Gospel week in week out. Shine on!
