I was given this FULL album by the artist for the purpose of reviewing it, and giving away TWO copies. The opinions here are my own. -dErK

10 Songs

Overall Thoughts:

All the songs are quite sombre, reverent common worship themes.  While this is not exactly my favorite music all the time.. this is great music for prayer, quiet times, and just worship itself.  More classic feel to worship music.. what I mean.. is a bit closer hymns then contemporary worship.. even though it really is contemporary.. if that makes sense..

Recording Thoughts:

Very Good ... Professional

Individual Song Thoughts:
(Rating Scale 1 to 5 - 1 being least - 5 being greatest)

"The New Song" 4 - This is the sampler song, I basically reviewed it HERE : http://derkopenedeyes.blogspot.com/2013/02/gangai-victor-new-song-free-music.html

"Water For My Soul" 4 - Very sombre .. reverent.. beautiful flowing music.. shows a great desire for Christ

"No Other Name" 4 - This has an interesting back beat that I really liked.. still slow in pace.. lifting Christ and pretty common theme

"Be Still My Soul" 4 - Very slow.. very calming.. as well encouraging to one that just needs the reassurance of the closeness of God.. the knowing that we are in need of Him.. and that He is there

"I Lift My Eyes" 4 - Looking to God for all things.. He alone is comfort, rest, and firm foundation

"Eucharistic Worship" 4 - Interesting song.. You do not hear very many songs about communion.. and as will this one is a bit more upbeat (quicker) than the rest.

"Hosanna" 4 - This is a beautiful version of this song.

"So Loved" 4 - Very worshipful

"Gloria" 5 - My favorite on the album.. as it picks up the pace quite a bit.. much more rocking.. which is more to my liking. The electric guitar additions are sweet!

"No Longer Live" 5 - My other favorite on the album... for the same reason as the one above, but I think that this one is my most favorite. Very clear Christ messages "Your love is all that my soul needs'  "from every curse you ransom me" AWESOME messages!  


take a listen ... get a download.. and TIP!!!
