Streams

STREAMS is an inspirational record dedicated to, as the liner notes say, "all of us who from time to time find ourselves worn down by the world;" with an intent to "serve as a constant reminder that our Heavenly Father, the Great Physician, is always with us." The album realizes this soothing aim perfectly, as the mood conveyed by these 14 tracks is one of a great, sweeping calm.
Contributions by Sixpence None The Richer, Chris Rodriguez, Cindy Morgan, and Point of Grace mine a rich vein of stirring, ethereal pop. Expansive ballads like "Find Me In The River" (by Delirious? with Amy Grant) and the Irish Film Orchestra's album-closing Orchestral Suite provide a delicate, lovely counterbalance. Those in search of solace through the Christian message and relaxation through contemporary sounds will find what they seek in this fine collection.
