This is a bunch of new worship songs cut in the studio by Esther Alexander, Nigel Briggs, Cathy Burton, John Perry and Mal Pope, with varying quality, with the songs penned by the usual suspects - Matt Redman, Tim Hughes and Graham Kendrick among others. This is a double CD, the second of which contains 10 acoustic songs for all of those who have a slight aversion to worship 'n' roll songs. The acoustic CD is consistently atmospheric and in its nakedness sounds more real than the electric one. Having said this, there are a few songs on the first CD which will frequently be sung by churches all over, most notably "With All I Am" (which is incidentally covered also on the acoustic CD), "Countless Are The Mercies" and "Nothing But The Blood".
