 Great Intro to Hillsong! September 13, 2008
T. Patmore (Somewhere in Madagascar)
As someone who is new to Hillsong, I thought I'd start with the best of. Previously I'd heard 'Superhero' and 'Never Give up' from the kid's stuff, and thought this would be the same glib, instantly catchy stuff.
However, rather than hit you with it's brilliance all at once, this CD takes 2 or 3 goes to really get into. But once you get into it, boy is it good!
My favourites have to be tracks 1, 3, 6 and 7 as they are passionate and skilfully performed, but this is not to say the other tracks are not darn sweet. Like the Mighty Boosh, you need to understand the ethos and the mood of the material and, once you do everything in that ethos sounds like audible ambrosia!
So, if you're thinking of buying this CD as an introduction to Hillsong, then I would definitely encourage your doing so. Although it may take a while to fathom Hillsong, persistence (as Robert the Bruce found out) definitely pays dividends...
