Back in 2004, I was browsing through a local music store and happened across Sea of Faces. I purchased it, listened to it a few times and put it on a shelf... "Meh"
Fast forward to early 2008,
my life changed, my taste in music changed and was going through my CD collection to listen to some stuff I hadn't heard in a while. In Sea of Faces went into the car CD changer and hit play. Out of all of the six CD's on that current rotation, Sea of Faces was the one that hit me the hardest. The music, the lyrics - everything just meshed with my life. While there isn't a bad song on the album, in my opinion, some of my favorites are "Not What You See," "All Alone," "Passion," and of course "Sea of Faces."
These five guys from Portland really know how to put music together in a meaningful way. Since that fateful CD rotation, I have acquired every one of Kutless's albums. I like that they aren't afraid to put the message of Christ into every one of their songs on all their albums. However, Sea of Faces is one of my favorite albums of my entire collection.
And now for something completely different... | Posted May-28-2009
Steven Delopoulos was the opening act for a Caedmon's Call / MercyMe concert that my wife and I went to. By this time, the band Burlap to Cashmere was on an extended, if not indefinite, hiatus. My wife fell in love with his sound; unfortunately, it was bathroom time for me so I missed most of his performance. The following Monday, I was browsing our local Christian book store and saw the Burlap to Cashmere CD and picked it up for my wife. The cashier at the store said this was one of her favorite CD's. I have to agree. Burlap to Cashmere has a very unique sound which reminds me of Mediterranean and Caribbean folk music. The lyrics blend well with the music for an enjoyable fifty minutes. Songs like Digee Dime and Basic Instructions make you want to get up out of your seat and do some salsa dancing! While other tracks such as Treasures From Heaven and Mansions slow down to let you really absorb the words and feelings the band is trying to portray. This album comes highly recommended for anyone who likes a little variety in their music collection.
