I was a little concerned how any album could live up to the high marks set by the original "Revival in Belfast" album. The new one surpasses my highest hopes, and then some.

All songs are not original Robin Mark compositions, but one of Robin's strengths has always been his ability to choose spiritually-charged material and make it his own. He has certainly done that here, with some you'll recognize (Matt Redman's "Blessed Be Your Name") and even more you won't. He highlights the gifts of the worship band as well, with lead vocals by keyboardist Peter Wilson on his original composition "Some Kind of Love", and Maggie Wilson singing an original song written by flutist Michelle Wooderson.

Simply put, this is a wonderful gift, from both Robin Mark and The Holy Spirit (he weaves his way throughout the annointed lyrics and beautiful music). Robin, with a lot of help from God, has done it again!

This cd is filled with passionate songs written by a very humble man. I was thrilled to hear that Robin put out a "sequel" to Revival in Belfast and this did not disappoint. I love it even more than the first. For one thing, Robin wrote more of the songs on this one than the last. For a second, they are still filled with the great sounds of the old country - pennywhistle and uileann pipes. Finally, it is encouraging to hear such great music from such a humble musician. I have met Robin and he is inspiring because he views his work as nothing more than any other servant would do.

No question Robin's music is my most played Worship music. I own the 3 CD's available here. My family and I were blessed to see Robin live and hear the stories behind the songs such as "Soul's Desire" and "Wonder of the Cross". Glorious music from a humble "star".

The Robin Mark CD is wonderful. I ordered it online and received it very quickly. The Irish music is delightful. All in all, it was a great experience.

Belfast II is very nice, however, it's difficult to follow a "truly anointed-great" cd...Belfast. I listen to Belfast even to this day. I've owned it for years and have recommended it to everyone. The words are truly inspiring and the melodies are awesome. Belfast is the type of praise and worship cd that drives you to stand to your feet and praise and worship the Lord even if you never have gotten up and moved before...a cd for the ages.

How can a worshipping heart not love Robin Mark's music? This is quite good and lyrically lovely. However, if you are expecting something like the original Revival In Belfast, put those thoughts aside. I think that was an unusual move of the Spirit, that cannot be duplicated. Still, I reccomend this CD with no apologies. Open your heart and enjoy! The shipping and communication were without problem. I reccomend the vendor without hesitation.

Revival in Belfast II is a wonderful worship experience. Mark has a gift for bringing his listeners into the presence of God to worship our God with music.

I had to revise my comments after listening to this CD more. I heard the song Killovil an Irish instrumental. I thought the CD was going to have Irish type music or Irish/Worship music. This was the only Irish instrumental on the CD. After playing the album a few times there are worship songs with the whistle and Irish flavor. I have come to love this CD. There are many good songs on it. My favorite worship song is "Some Kind of Love" and "Miracle in My Heart". Miracle in My Heart has the Irish whistle in. The CD music and songs are uplifting. I tried to change the rating from 3 to 5. I now want to rate this CD a 5

I really like all of Robin Mark's CDs, except for this one. I think that on all his other CDs you hear a musician who puts his whole heart into his music. This CD is still good and I myself could not sing nearly as well, but Revival in Belfast II somehow seems to be "a little more flat" and "just another Christian CD" whereas the others were more special.

After a hit comes the sequel, which is usually quite bland. Same with this CD. Revival In Belfast was outstanding, but Revival In Belfast II is quite different. Gone is the Celtic beat. Even Robin Mark seems to have lost his Irish brogue. This CD sounds like a million other Christian CCM CD's. Sorry, but if you want a Celtic Christian music CD, this one is not it.
