There are two types of Christian music in dance culture. There are those who create new music that expresses their faith musically or lyrically and they escape the restrictions of the rock era of verses and choruses to get into new territory. Then there are those who take songs written in standard format and simply spread them over a dance groove. The latter are less interesting but for those who love worship songs and want to groove, the Nitro Praise series is ideal. If you've enjoyed the recent 'Re:sorce 2000' album this series is an American equivalent. Dance and d 'n'b versions of songs like 'It Is Well With My Soul,' 'Great Is The Lord' and 'I Love You Lord' all sound fresh and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the version of 'Holy Ground' with the percussive backing vocals. This also gives you the complete selection of backing tracks so you can do some funky karaoke or you can have a raise party in your bedroom. Either way this is a groovy little album building on the previous volumes of the series. So it's nothing new, just repackaging classic worship tunes for a new generation but it's still cool!
