"Psalms for Warriors" by Riverside Arts Guild (Spoken Word Artists from New Jersey (NJ))

"Psalms for Warriors," by Riverside Arts Guild, is a Christian CD featuring the reading of Biblical psalms in a variety of musical settings. We were struck by the uniqueness and universality of the concept behind this recording. The vision of Riverside Arts Guild is far-reaching in scope. The artists are endeavoring to bring to life psalms in the Bible pertaining to war. To accomplish this goal, they have employed a wide variety of musical styles, instruments, voices, and languages. The presentation of the poetry in such a way draws the listener into the meaning of the words beyond the confines of culture and time. The highlight of the CD is the reading of Psalm 91 in both English and Greek with a beautiful acoustic guitar backdrop. Also notable is the skillful use of the capeoria on several tracks. (The artists tell us that this instrument was traditionally used by African slaves in Brazil.) Altogether, this is a spoken word CD that, once heard, will not soon be forgotten! Highly recommended!

Harbinger's self-titled CD

Wow! Harbinger’s self-titled CD is a really, really enjoyable compilation of contemporary Christian songs. Every aspect of the CD is very good, but most impressive are the vocals. The 3-part harmonies are rich and blend very nicely throughout the tracks on this CD to accompany the solid lead vocals. This is especially notable given the varied genres of music on the CD, which share a common spiritual theme. You’ll find yourself going back to listen to a number of the tracks on this CD over and over again. For example, “Fly Away” is a memorable upbeat song with a melodic chorus and a country pop feel. “More Than You’ll Ever Know” has an excellent acoustic groove that blends nicely with the excellent vocals, which build to a crisp 3-part harmony-filled, melodic chorus. “Blessed Assurance” is an interesting track that has a polished Disney-type full-band sound and harmonies, interestingly blended with a spiritual theme. Probably the most memorable vocal performance on the CD is the beautiful, emotional female lead vocal in “In the Presence of Jehovah.” If you enjoy contemporary Christian, or listening to a group of individuals who were born to sing, you will enjoy this CD.
