Classy California custom project with moods that range from folk to folkrock to rock. ‘Without Love’ opens the album on a solid rural rocking note with strong electric guitar leads. Two of the best tracks are ‘House’ and ‘Closing Moments’, both dreamy acoustic ballads sung by Ron Anderson, featuring attractive guitar work that reflects the beauty and “progressive’ intricacy of Bruce Cockburn. Similar mood to ‘Faith: Beyond Rhetoric’ which adds some soft jazzy electric guitar. Female vocals and soft key boards embrace ‘ Do You Know Why We’re Here?’, ‘Lift My Eyes’, ‘Rebellious House’ and ‘Flight’, sometimes recalling the Jesus music style of Pam Mark Hall (vocals are credited to Sonkissed). Includes assistance from Bethlehem members Randy Rigby (Fender Rhodes, piano, electric guitar) and Danny Daniels (acoustic guitar). Randy’s electric guitar can also be found adding dynamic buildups to a couple of the ballads. Touched with synthesizer and mellotron in a few spots. Sharp foldout cover with illustrations of lava flowing down a volcano. An excellent album all around. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).
