Night Beat Rewind: December 2015

2015 is just about history, but first we have one final edition of Rewind. It's rare to get one done in the month it covers, but there were only 14 entries. Let's get to it.

The Singles Scene was very appropriate, with only a single entry. Fearless BND, the former Worth Dying For, is in the process of releasing a song a month. December's release has a somewhat appropriate title.

• Fearless BND - The Anticipation 4.50 Emeralds

It is not a song about Santa and Presents. On to the Album Reviews. We begin with the albums which will not make the #PlatVnyl7 Eligibility Pool.

Missing The Mark

• Fern - 68 and Douglas 3.75 Emeralds
• Corey Paul - Today, Tomorrow, and Forever 3.75 Emeralds
• Joe Pots - Shout It Out 3.75 Emeralds

There was also one Pure Platinum Release. Sometimes they sneak up on you at the last minute, when you are trying to finalize the Best of The Year List.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• The Ember Days - Valitus 5 Emeralds

The rest of the releases fall in between the two extremes, as usual.

Semi-Precious Metal

• Bethel Music Kids - Come Alive 4.75 Emeralds
• Hillsong Young and Free - We Are Young and Free The Remixes 4.75 Emeralds
• Skrip - Show and Tell EP 4.75 Emeralds
• Mr and Mrs Something - Setting Sail 4.75 Emeralds
• Spoken - Breathe Again 4.75 Emeralds
• Duawne Starling - Deeper Faith 4.50 Emeralds
• Stu G - Have You Heard 4.50 Emeralds
• Various - Small Group Worship, Volume 2 4.75 Emeralds
• Withered Bones - For The Ones I Love 4.50 Emeralds

That does it for 2015. And we still have a few days in the year. I don't think I can get the first quarter in the bag before then, but that is the next thing on the agenda. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Polar Vortex Polka Redux: The 2015 2nd Quarter - Adult Contemporary Dance

We continue our progression through the 2015 2nd Quarter eligible releases. This is the second of our multiple genre nominations. In our first post we announced Children's Music, Jazz, Pop and the Remix. For this post there are but two genres. They are Adult Contemporary and Dance-Synthpop. From here on in we go with single genre posts. We begin again.

Dance/Synthpop

• Hillsong Young and Free - This Is Living
• Inspire Music - Inspire
• Various - WoW Hits Party Mix

Adult Contemporary/Inspirational

• Among The Thirsty - Who You Say I Am
• Jared Anderson - Where I Am Right Now
• Davis The Band - Only Your Love
• Matt Maher - Saints and Sinners

Yes there is a double dipper. WoW Hits party mix is a tossup between Dance and Remix. There is a bit of both. So they are listed in both. Next up is Alternative. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply

Swing Season: The 2014 1rst Quarter - Modern Worship

We have come to the end. Modern Worship had a whopping lucky thirteen entries this quarter. King of The Quarter. Since we try to narrow the final results down to seven, if this pace keeps up there will be a whole lot of hair splitting, and tearing hair out, among the judges.

The second quarter is upon us, let's waste no time finishing this.

• Burning Lights (Deluxe Edition) [+video] , Chris Tomlin
• Burning Lights (Deluxe Edition) [+video] , Acquire The Fire

Music Video Monday: Hope Will Rise

Welcome Back to Music Video Monday. We Never Rest. Well, we actually do, but not on faux holidays like today. Face it folks, it's right up there with Bunker Hill Day as a hack holiday. If no stores have sales commemorating the holiday, it's not real. Sorry, them is the facts of life.

We are continuing with Modern Worship in the new year. We begin with another video from Hillsong Young and Free. This is Alive.
After one wakes, depending upon how things are at the moment, you may have to convince yourself that Hope Will Rise. This is WARR Acres.
You're up and about and ready to face the world. Time to join Keith Elgin and Dance, Dance, Dance.
You're really feeling good round about now. Time to let out a big ROAR with WARR Acres and Katy Perry.
On to some Alternative Music next time. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.  

Music Video Monday: A New Year Begins

The New Year is officially here at the +The WENC Night Beat We're a few minutes late, but that is okay. From now on it is all Monday only Monday. Today we begin PVA5 Videos. And we start out on a Modern Worship roll. Four Videos today.

We Start out with +Laura Story  and I can just be me.

Next up we have the Vertical Church and The Rock Won't Move.

Our third Video this week is from the latest group coming out of Hillsong Church. This is +Hillsong Young & Free  with Wake.

And we conclude things with +Dustin Kensrue  complaining that with 4 videos, It's Not Enough.

I happen to disagree. Four is more than enough. We will continue with Modern Worship Next week. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
