Mistletunes: The 2016 1st Quarter - Modern Worship

We have reached the end of the First Quarter of 2016. We have reached the final post, the genre that had the most eligible entries this quarter. And that genre is Modern Worship. Actually, it usually is. I think there was one quarter when it wasn't. So let us get to it.

Modern Worship

• Casting Crowns - A Live Worship Experience
• Crowder - Crowder's Neon Porch Extravaganza (Live)
• Michael English - Worship
• Adam Layne Fisher - Live at Barnet Park
• Gateway Worship - Walls
• Generation Unleashed - Come Alive (Live)
• Hillsong Worship - Open Heaven / River Wild (Live)
• Joshua Price - Elevate
• Cindy Cruse Ratcliff - Edge Of The Universe (Live At Lakewood Church)
• Ricardo Sanchez - Grand Symphony
• Seeker and Servant - You Alone Forever
• Austin Stone Worship - This Glorious Grace (Live)   
• Vineyard UK - Hear the Sound - Songs from the Vineyard UK
• Vineyard UK - Small Group Worship Vol. 02

That does it for the first quarter. Things are getting pretty heated up here at Night Beat HQ as we are just about finished with the first month of the second quarter. Stay locked here as the Second Quarter gets underway and even as the nominees for #PlatVnyl6 are announced soon. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Rising Beats: The 2014 Third Quarter - Contemporary Adult Children

Thought I'd mess with your minds with that title. The last two shared genres of the Third Quarter of 2014 are Children's Music and Adult Contemporary/Inspirational, and since I already used the inspired children shtick, I thought I would go with this one. So here goes.

Children's Music

• JJ Heller - I Dream of You
• His Kidz United - His Kidz Vol. 1
• Shout Praises Kids - Ultimate Kids Worship
• Vineyard UK - Rooftops - The Sound of Vineyard Youth

Adult Contemporary/Inspirational

• Audrey Assad - Death, Be Not Proud
• Andrew Ehrenzeller - Children of Promise
• Kristen Gilles - Parker's Mercy Brigade
• Danny Gokey - Hope in Front of Me

That is all for the multiple genre posts. Again, I would ask that you purchase the mp3s by clicking the link in this post and shopping through Amazon. We are an affiliate here at The Night Beat. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

The Frozen Chosen: Modern Worship

This has got to be the most oxymoronic title I have ever put on a post, since Modern Worship is supposed to be the answer to the Church Malady known as being "stiff" (aka Frozen Chosen) but I couldn't resist.

Modern Worship had a very good showing this quarter, with almost two dozen possible entries. Of course such a large pool means a lot of work next spring, but I would rather that than have to count the number of entrants on one hand (Do You Hear Me Children's Music?). Just as an aside, I am typing this post while listening to TFK's The End is the Beginning. I can see a very good recommendation coming for this release. It drops next Tuesday. Let's get on to the list.

Modern Worship

• All Sons and Daughters - Season One
• Jon Bauer - Forevermore
• Bethel Music - The Loft Sessions
• Andy Cherry - Nothing Left To Fear
• Cornerstone Church Worship - The Heart Revolution
• Gateway Next - Look Up
• Aaron Gillespie - Echo Your Song (Live)
• Kari Jobe - Where I Found You
• One Sonic Society - Forever Reign
• Parachute Band - Matins : Vespers
• Passion 2012 - White Flag
• Rend Collective Experiment - Homemade Worship by Handmade People
• Sanctuary - Reveal
• Michael W. Smith - Decades of Worship
• Starfield - The Kingdom
• Various Artists - Awaken My Soul: Songs of Redemption
• Various Artists - Maranatha Music: How Great is our God
• Various Artists - Mission Worship: Come People of the Risen King
• Various Artists - Worship Together: 25 Favorite Worship Songs
• Vineyard Music - I Love Your Presence: Live From Phoenix
• Worship Central - Spirit Break Out
• Worth Dying For - Live Riot

Whew! That was a lot. Like I said previously, too many is better than none. I will continue to dribble these out throughout the week. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
