We must go
One of the CDs that have been on heavy rotation in my CD player recently (definitely in my “A” playlist at the moment) is the 2005 Soul Survivor sampler “We must go”, featuring many of the songs that were sung during Soul Survivor’s annual summer event in Shepton Mallet / Somerset (UK). And while I miss a few songs (it would have been so great to have that spontaneous 15 minute instrumental worship set by Delirious? on the CD, but I didn’t think that was going to happen anyway), it’s still a great collection that as always has been masterfully put together to re-capture the listeners and take them back to the events of last summer (if in fact they were there… people who weren’t will probably love the CD almost as much). If I were to name my favourite songs, I’d have to name almost all of them… so maybe I should just mention that the only real disappointment is “Superlatives” by Marl Beswick and his “Power Praise” singers… after their breathtaking rendition of “Lord, I lift Your name on high” on the 2004 sampler, I expected a lot more, both live and on the CD. Anyway, maybe I’m just missing whatever is so special about this song… I hope it wasn’t just put on the CD because the Soul Survivor guys had to.
All in all, a great CD, definitely worth having a look (and listen) at – and don’t miss the extra 5-track bonus CD with some of the highlights of the “Momentum” festival for “students and 20somethings” that ran between the two main Soul Survivor weeks. Hey, maybe I’ll see some of you there this summer…
