Review

First, you need to know that I m a die-hard Lost And Found fan. I like the band members, Michael and George; I like their lyrics; I like their shows...a lot! Don t just listen to a portion of one song before making a decision. If you ve never heard them before, you ll want to hear the entire album to get a flavor for them. Their lyrics are biblical, their messages are infused with grace, and their melodies are audience-friendly. I come away from a Lost And Found experience with their songs indelibly stuck in my head (but not in an Oscar Meyer jingle kind of way I actually like this!) Appropriately titled, Something Different is quite a departure from the polished, market-driven, almost antiseptic experience of many other CDs on the market today. I d recommend getting a copy of their songbook from www.speedwood.com to accompany Something Different. I ll guarantee you ll want to teach some of these songs to your kids, too. My wife and I like their music so much that we incorporated 5 of their songs into our wedding oddly enough, all from the Something Different album. So you can imagine my dismay when I realized that we d never reviewed it in the journal. Not too cutting-edge, I guess, since it s been out for a couple of years but definitely the editor s pick even now. A+ --Youthworker Journal Mar/Apr 2004

Product Description

The songs on Something Different are mostly about God, and faith in what God has done (i.e. something different). With limited supplies, God feeds the hungry widow and the masses--even those who "plan to fail," as it were. Jesus is raised up: by the soldiers on the cross, by God from the tomb, by us in our community of faith. Even after the most complicated machinations on our part, we still cannot change what God has done. Everybody in the whole world matters. (Despite our Sunday-morning hopes of a kingdom that operates according to rules and regulations that favor our expectations and visions of normative behaviors, God surprises us with something different--Grace and Mercy.) God will remember our sin no more. That's something different indeed! And, in the case of Saskatchewan, well that's just something different altogether. As for format, you'll likely notice that each song is recorded twice on this album: the first time with the traditional non-traditional LOST AND FOUND instrumentation, the second time with other stuff added. Whatever you think of the songs and the recordings, you'll have to admit, it's something different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something Different, October 22, 2004

This review is from: Something Different (Audio CD)

SOMETHING DIFFERENT is an album answering the question "what if Lost And Found recorded with other instruments?"

So, Lost And Found offers their orignal sound (which I prefer) on the first nine tracks. Then, on the next nine, they have other instruments added. I like this, too, but I prefer traditional speedwood.

After the eighteenth song, wait and there will be a Bluegrass version of "Multiply" and if you wait after that, there will be a song called "1980" that Lost And Found did not write - but was written by a guy who was writing down thoughts as he reads the newspaper. It sounds like a sarcastic in-your-face, "we're America, and we can do what we want" piece of music. I think Lost And Found sang it just because it is sarcastic and they enjoyed playing it.

I love the fact that Saskatchewan is included. The one song I sometimes do not listen to is "Your Memory." I really like the song, but it can make me sad and it really makes my sister sad. It is about remembering loved ones who have passed on. It is extremely important to my life because I was just getting over the death of a good friend when I actually got to sit and listen to the song (I didn't own the CD yet and was listening to a friend's copy).

If you like Lost And Found's traditional style, but want these songs, just stop the CD after the first nine tracks. If you'd like to hear what Lost And Found would sound like with a full band, get this CD and listen to the last nine tracks.

Then you can decide if you prefer listening to the first half or second half or like both equally well.

4.0 out of 5 stars My least favorite Lost and Found cd, December 24, 2005

This review is from: Something Different (Audio CD)

But it still gets 4 stars. Honestly, I think the plain old speedwood versions of the songs are way better, with the sole exception of Can't Take Away. The rest of the songs just seem weird played with electric instuments, and the drums just make it seem like it isn't Lost and Found.
I would still definitely reccomend this album, but only after getting the Speedwood albuls, Something, etc, all of which were 5 stars in my book. Then again, I don't like most music with drums and electic instruments, so if you do, maybe you will like them on this cd. Either way, just the speedwood versions are well worth getting the cd for, and I also love the last hidden track (1980).

5.0 out of 5 stars Always "Something Different" with L&F, June 28, 2004

This review is from: Something Different (Audio CD)

Lost and Found sounds like nothing else I have ever heard. In the midst of the endless sea of over-produced, hyper-commercialized "popular" Christian music and the recent trend of artists jumping on the praise and worship bandwagon with its "7/11" songs, L&F is a refreshing change. I love the depth and poetic nature of many of their lyrics; songs that speak not only of our passion for God but also embrace and proclaim timeless truths and doctrines...often pulled directly from the Word...not that every L&F song is serious...many of them are just fun! Their music has a raw, unrefined edge to it...and it is so original in style: most of the time just an acoustic guitar and piano played in their signature "speedwood" style.

"Something Different" really is something else. As you've probably gleaned from other reviews it's a part a / part b CD. Part A includes 9 songs in the typical "like nothing else I have ever heard" style: speedwood (piano, guitar, and the occasional additional instrument). Part B is the same 9 songs but done in a more produced, studio sound (for some reason whenever I listen to Part B I think of late 90's REM...but then when the vocals start I remember it's Lost and Found).

As far as the lyrical content of the CD, "Something Different" is yet another fine installment by L&F. Of the 9 songs, only "Your Memory" gets skipped when my wife and I are listening to the CD (we just don't get this song). I think that anybody who can make me want to sing along with a song about a Canadian province (Saskatchewan) must be a fairly gifted writer. "Raise Him Up", "Multiply" and "Remember" could each be used in a P&W setting. The electric version of "Multiply" is kinda flat but is easily made up for with a third version...bluegrass...which is mighty nice (track 19). The final song on the cd (track 20) is a hyper-sarcastic-patriotic-in-your-face-we're-America-and-we-can-trash-the-planet-if-we-want-to diddy, "this is America, love it or leave it." I'm pretty sure it's meant facetiously...I hope...

"Something Different" is the latest, greatest installment from L&F...and is a must have for any fan.
