Back when I was attending Trinity College (Class of '82) a
Christian audiofile who worked at the Logos bookstore in
Chicago said I must buy this album. I'm sure glad I did. It
was very rare even at that time. (I bought Larry Norman's
double album "Bootleg" there which he also recommend that I
buy) There is some fine guitar work on Brainwashed by
former lead guitarist for the James Gang and Pacific Gas &
Electric, Glenn Schwartz. At that time I was like, "Cool! A
Christian who can play awesome guitar!" There are also some
pretty forward arrangements (ala E.L.O.) as this guitar rock
band employs cello, violin, and cool female background
vocals. I would love to remix the original tracks on modern
equipment. Back then I got annoyed with the mellower tunes
or the female vocalists singing the blues in their head
voice but hey, they were making "a joyful nose unto the
Lord." When one really experiences the forgiveness of Jesus
it is easy to get sappy!
