iPray - finished!

Well, we’re standing by to receive the boxes of shiny new CD’s this coming Thursday, and so are excited - this is the 7th album we’ve recorded, and the novelty never wears off.
We’ll be using the songs in the children’s programme at Revive next week. People who’ve heard a sneak preview of some of the tracks have given us a rave response so far. We’ve started to put the page together in the Albums section of the website, and will get some MP3 preview samples up soon, and add it to the online shop in a couple of weeks.

Our real hope for this CD is that it inspires prayer - among children, teenagers, and adults alike.

iPray - nearly finished!

Well, so much for my resolve to post regularly about the progress of the recording, but it’s been a busy month, what with the world cup, Wimbledon, and a heat wave…

I’m really pleased with the way the songs have come out - Richard Swan has done a fantastic job with the arrangements, and there’s a wide variety of songs, styles, vocalists and musicians, making it a very eclectic CD, with the theme of prayer and hope running all the way through like a stick of rock.

One of the songs even features a prayer specially composed and recorded for us by Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury!

The CD is being mastered at present, and then we’ll get it manufactured ready for a mini-launch at Revive, the Ichthus Bible Week which starts Aug 5, and then a proper launch sometime in the autumn. Of course details of how to order the CD will be appearing on the website soon.
