I was at KB '92 also and I have to agree with Mike, this was the best concert
of the festival for me. He has an almost jazzy sound to his music. I bought
Lunatic Friend , I don't own anything else of his. I didn't really
take to Sweet Comfort band. I think the name of the new album is
Mercy and it's due out in October.

Yes.  KLTY is still going in D/FW.  Here is a listing of most of the
Christian radio stations in the D/FW area:

FM stations:

	KLTY	94.1
	KVTT	91.7
	KCBI	90.1	(I think that's the freq.)

AM stations:

	KHVN	970
	KPBC	770

TV stations:

	Channel 58	Trinity Broadcasting Network	(don't know call lets.)
	Channel 55	The Power Channel (Robert Tilton)	KLDT

When I was living in Houston 4 years ago, there was an FM station whose
call letters were KSBJ at 88.1 FM.  Don't know if it's still around though.

Actually, NONE of it is like "Swimsuit Edition Wallpaper."  That was by

The LSU song on the Teaser II is "Not a Cuss Word."

>Give me some good reviews or a solid recomendation.
>
Actually, while _Poplife_ is definitely enjoyable, it always struck me
as Diet Caffeine-free LSU Lite.  Here are some of my personal views on
the currently-available LSU/Knott offerings:

LSU Waking Up the Dead - not quite as avant-garde as "Healing," but it's
still pretty adventurous vocally while being a little more accessable

LSU This Is the Healing - some gutsy, atmospheric, more fuzz-guitar-
oriented alternative, with the belting soprano opera vocals of Mike's
sister Bridget on some of the tracks that I grew to *LOVE*

MICHAEL KNOTT Screaming Brittle Siren - more of a "modern rock" radio
format sound, that, while being the most "radio ready" uses some very
sophisticated melodies and gripping lyrics.  Violins on a few tracks
serve Bridget's function in the counterpointed melodic structures

L S UNDERGROUND The Grape Prophet - in parts, it's the most abrasive of
the bunch, and if you really think about the arrangements, the lyrics,
and the melodies, it's one of the most bizarre.  An allegory about
heresy and false prophecy, it's particularly disturbing because of
things that you're not quite sure about.  Only Mike Knott could deliver
a line like "The Grape Prophet falls down on his face, all of the orange
juice is gonna waste" and have it send chills up your spine instead of a
condescending chuckle.  (It's about Bob Jones, a "prophet" from Kansas
City Fellowship, a church that became involved with the Vineyard in
Southern California)

I can't recommend EACH of the above highly enough.  Knott is one of the
only people taking some creative risks in Christian music these days,
and on top of that, he's pulling it off.

Last time I checked, there was a 24-hour adult Christian radio station
broadcasting on 94.1 FM KLTY in Dallas/Fort Worth.

it actually made a respectable showing in the ratings, too.  Very professional
station.  They do accept radio ads; I've even heard ads entirely unrelated to
Christian concepts (i.e. ads like you hear everywhere else).  That means they
must be pretty successful.

They used to play more rock and roll, when they were KOJO (big management
shakeup), now they play more "adult" stuff (i.e. Sandi Patti, Twila Paris,
Michael Card, Steve Green, Steven Curtis Chapman, etc.)

Wish we had one up here in Babylon :-(

I just bought "Decade" by Kerry Livgren today and this is taken from
the liner notes...

    "What makes this instrumental music "Christian"? [refering to his
    album _One of Several Possible Musiks_]

    The answer to that is an improper question. I don't believe that
    music, in and of itself, can necessarily be secular or spiritual.
    Does the fact that it was composed and performed by a Christian
    make the music Christian music? What if an unbeliever performs or
    sings a piece that was written to the glory of God? Can it still
    edify or inspire? What if a Christian writes a commercial - is it
    then a sanctified commercial? If i took an instrumental work that
    i composed before my conversion and retitled it with some biblical
    theme, does it then become a piece of Christian music? Conversely,
    one could concevably take a sacred hymn, rewrite the lyrics about
    dome secular theme, and make it a popular song. Is the music
    itself then no longer spiritual?

    I hope you can see my argument here - all good things come from
    God, and music is a good thing.

    I will leave it at that. In my personal experience, many of my
    most worshipful moments which were inspired by music have come
    by the music of gifted men who did not know the God that gave them
    the gift.

    I do, and He gets the glory. To me, that makes it Christian
    music."

KLZ is adult contemporary Christian music from 6am to 7pm, and Christian
country from 7pm to 6am. The daytime hours have been a little weak IMHO,
but seems to be getting a little better. I suppose they wanted to start
as safely as possible. I'm not generally much of a country fan (odd, since
Tom Stipe is my pastor) but I have been enjoying some of the nightime

Well, here is all the info I have.  I recieved a flyer from

which is extremely vague.  Under Sept 20 it says "Randy
Stonehill: Tickets will be distributed in the 9:30
teaching hour only!"  Does not say to what extent he will

Not all of us.  I have had their album for close to a year now.
I saw an advertisement in Contemporary Christian and I'll be
honest and admit that the picture of those ladies got me into

Subject: Album Review:  Sheryl Olguin  "Crystal Vision"

This album was produced by Gary Boren, and is released privately by 
Sheryl Olguin.  Sheryl is a reader of rec.music.christian and I reviewed
this album at her request.

All songs are written (words and music) by Sheryl Olguin.  Credits list 
her as singing and doing much of the guitar work.  The words in general are
well-motivated and searching.  "Break Away (He's Gonna Cry)" deals with her
encounter with a homeless man.  Songs such as "Sanctuary" and "All the
Questions" deal with God as the answer to our questions.
"Tell the Truth In Love" deals with our relationships with each other.
"Crystal Vision" deals with eliminating hypocrisy in our lives--seeing
the wrongs we do in place of finding faults with others

..."Cause it's so easy to condemn,
and so hard to be a friend,
that can love beyond offense time and time again..
And if there's one thing that I need
It's to lay down all of my rights
Until all that's left of me is humbled at Jesus' feet."

The style of lyrics and the style of singing, as well as the tone quality
of the songs, reminds one of early Margaret Becker stuff.  (although
this album has much less of a hard-rock edge than does Becker).
In a couple years, it's not hard to imagine that Sheryl could also be there.

The tunes sound a bit repetitive, and could stand some better producing,
but the raw material of the tunes is good.  This is by no means bubble-gum
pop, it's honest and real music which for the most part is pleasant but 
not easy listening.

I suspect that if you want to hear this album, you can contact the

Yep.  I'll have to admit that BNH has been my most listened to album of
the summer.  A lot of people have other feelings about this collection
of rap-and-live instruments, but Grand Puba, Gangstarr, Main Source,
Black Sheep and many others step strong to the jazzy beats.  I would get
it just for the fact that this is a great direction for hip-hop to head
into, and BNH have done a pretty damn good job adapting to the driving
beats and licks usually found in the tracks laid down by DJ's. 
Unfortunately, sometimes they do too good of a job, and you wish that
they would just break it down and go off on some jazz tangent.  But like
I said, it's a very funky album with some very good rhymes.  It's worth
the purchase.

The Players have been around in various forms for many years. I've
seen mid to late-60s stuff, and I think they were around as an RnB
harmony group before that. The main labels they've recorded for are
Capital, Westbound, and Mercury.

Most of the Westbound stuff is out on CD and all their records for
Westbound are fat and funky. This is my favorite period for the Players,
although their biggest commercial success came at Mercury with songs
like "Fire", "Love Rollercoaster", and "Jive Turkey". The Mercury
albums with the extended versions of these songs are worth having too.

I have and would recommend: "Ecstasy", "Passion", "Pain", "Pleasure",
"The Early Years", "Fire".
