Description
Awakening: Live from Chicago is a double disc live album by the American contemporary praise & worship combo Jesus Culture, self-released on Jesus Culture Music in 2011, distributed in the US by EMI Christian Music Group, marketed by Kingsway, a division of David C. Cook. Also released under license in the UK and Europe by Elevation. The album was recorded live during Jesus Culture’s first arena gathering, featuring Jesus Culture Band, Jake Hamilton, Bryan & Katie Torwall, and Kristene DiMarco. Engineered by Jeremy Edwardson and Mike Konopka, assisted by Andrew Jackson and Francis Gilbert, with Edwardson producing. Mixed by Sam Gibson at Chapel Lane Studios in Hereford, England.
Jesus Culture has made an enormous impact on 21st century worship around the world with their powerful and often prophetic worship songs. This recording was made at their first arena gathering and features past album songs «We Are Hungry», «Dance» and the outstanding rock-based chorus «The Anthem» which finishes the album on an enormous high! New tracks such as «Father Of Lights» with its cry “Love has a voice/ Love has a name/ Jesus, Jesus” and «Awaken Me» are appearing on disc for the first time. All the energy and atmosphere is here that you would expect (along with the acoustics you get with a large venue) and it does not take long to get absorbed. Musically, the U2/Delirious/Coldplay influences are there with the soaring guitars and anthem style choruses, for example «Glorious» sung by Katie Torwalt and «Holding Nothing Back» sung by Chris Quilala (written by Martin Smith and Tim Hughes) are particularly powerful. The impact of this release will be felt for some time to come. [Stephen Luff, Cross Rhythms, January 2012]
