I wouldn't go as far as to say that this album has converted me to the Spring Harvest clan totally, but it is the best one they've put out for a long time. The clapping doesn't take over the album as a matter of right in the way it has done countless times before, this time everyone seems concerned about getting the songs across on CD far better, and as a result the overall effect is far more pleasing. Most of the big guns are here: Fellingham, four; Bilbrough, four; Kendrick, two; Newey, two; Bowater, Pope and Richards, one each, make up the set. Bilbrough leads the way with the only brand new composition this year to be included "Lord We Come", and reruns of two earlier classics "Blessed Be The Name" and "Jesus Christ Is The Lord Of All". Kendrick's "Jesus Restore To Us Again" is another highlight but the love and strength of the praise and worship featured here is the major strength. Well done Spring Harvest, forget about The Storehouse' (last year's compilation), today's sound and production is getting better and better.
