Re:Source 2000

Description

Re:Source 2000, sub-titled 16 Pop/Dance Versions of Worship Songs, is a British multi-artist project released on Movation in 1999, marketed and distributed in Europe by Alliance Music. A second installment was released the following year, simply entitled Re:source 2001.

With the sleeve blurb promising “16 pop/dance versions of worship songs, plus free backing track CD” this energising project does exactly what it sets out to do, wrenching worship out of the stylistic plod of many of the guitar strummers but executing the endeavour with none of the inherent cheesiness which never seemed far from America’s Nitro Praise series. Producer Matt Wanstall has deftly transformed the anthems of Brian Doerksen, Robin Mark and Graham Kendrick into credible pop dance items while that veteran studio whiz Zarc Porter brings a whole new rhythmic groove to Matt Redman’s «Oh Sacred King» and «Jesus Christ (Once Again)». These two gems are sung by the young worship leader himself while if that’s not enough to attract the casual browser, Martin Smith, rock singer of this parish, does a nice new version of his own, «Lord You Have My Heart». With a bevy of other great voices featured here – Doronda K Lewis of the Tribe and Ireland’s underrated Pete Wilson are particularly outstanding – you’ve got a great marriage of great songs, production savvy and quality voices. Truly worship to take many a youth group into the millennium. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, June 1999]
