5.0 out of 5 stars Heartfelt Spiritual Beauty, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Christ Is My Hope (Audio CD)
The Innocence Mission continue their string of remarkable releases with CHRIST IS MY HOPE, a collection of spiritual songs with heartfelt vocals and simple (simply beautiful) music. Personal favorites are covers of "500 Miles" and "Fare Thee Well." These two selections alone are worth the price of the disc (and, as stated, all profits go to very worthy causes). That this band is God-inspired shows in every note.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another short vacation, August 6, 2000
By 
Peter Falconero (Schwenksville, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christ Is My Hope (Audio CD)
Everytime I listen to an Innocence Mission CD I am taken to a place where simple pleasures reside. Perhaps to a farm or a serene nature setting. This time I'm taken to place closer to the side of God. Karen's voice is very unique and has a certain beautiful innocence to it. The spiritual songs of "Christ" are very pure and celestial arrangements. A stress antidote for sure. If you like "Birds of the Neighborhood" and appreciate hymns, this is a must have

3.0 out of 5 stars A pretty simple affair, June 13, 2000
By 
This review is from: Christ Is My Hope (Audio CD)
As one might expect, this album is not a big production. It is simply about 23 minutes of sparsely instrumented arrangements of hymns. Karen Peris' vocals are prominent in the mix, with sometimes some quiet guitar, piano, or string bass in the background. For those of us who love her quavery childlike voice, it is much easier to make out in these arrangements. In particular, the rolled R's which I have only started noticing with "Birds of my neighborhood" are distractingly obvious in this recording.

About half of the hymns are limited to a single verse, for example "It is well with my soul". I am glad to say the beautiful harmony of that song is preserved in this arrangement. I would have enjoyed hearing more of the harmonies in the other hymns. One of the things I like best about "The Lakes of Canada" from "Birds of my neighborhood" is the overdubbed harmony -- hearing that beautiful voice in harmony with itself is a real pleasure.
