Artist: Answer Hymn
Album: "Forevermore"
Year produced: 2007

This Christian band has roots that are a blend of Celtic, New Age, pop and world folk--an eclectic, but successful place they have chosen to fashion their style and sounds from. The songs on this CD have classic themes such as Saints, love and happiness, and they have the cord of the musician's faith running throughout as a constant as well.

The vocals fold in with the instrumentation, with the sound of the women's voices comfortingly reminiscent of a church choir on many of the tracks. Check out track 12 to hear "Kyrie Eleison" which features soft, female vocals that whisper through the track--a bit "Enya" like. (In other words--pretty!)

The group's Christian roots run deep and their name was chosen to highlight it. Those searching for something to reflect that faith in music will enjoy this CD immensely. This is praise music--there is no doubt. If you are looking for something original in that genre, this will both please you and soothe you.
