Here's a highly invigorating recording made at the 1991 Yeshua Conference at Swanwick, crackling with the electricity of liberated Messianic worship. There's certainly an intensity of feeling, an emotional depth, a sense of fulfilment and discovery that most of us can only long to find in ourselves. There are songs from Merle Watson and Joel Chernoff (of Lamb), a couple of traditional numbers, including "Hava Nagila", and a cluster of other fiery gems. This music's as unique in its own way as, say, Black Gospel, led skilfully by the London Congregation's musicians. Powerful, exciting stuff.
