WOW Gold

Aptly titled Gold, this CD features the crème de la crème of the songs that have shaped the face of Christian music since the 1970s. The compilation pulls together many of the original recordings that spent time in the spotlight, providing a snapshot of what is imbedded within the hearts and minds of any seasoned Christian-music fan. Featuring artists from all genres, Gold presents a perfect cross section of the industry's most respected talent. With a flavor to satisfy every appetite, acoustic rock, gospel, heavy metal, worship, vocal, and contemporary sounds fashion a wild ride that leaves no moment mundane. Nowhere else would Stryper's "To Hell with the Devil" and Twila Paris's "He Is Exalted" share time on the same project. Wow! This is a true wonder indeed, bringing nostalgic memories and renewed inspiration to any Christian-music enthusiast. --Israel Button

5 out of 5 stars This album is way better than the film..........2007-02-03

Since the first review focused on what they didn't know about the bands, I'll point out some of the acts:

Tre Lux is Tina Root of Switchblade Symphony, one of the biggest Dark Wave bands of the 90's.

Shiny Toy Guns are huge right now, just played Leno a month ago.

Collide are one of the bigger bands of the goth/electro scene.

Bow Wow Wow...even the other reviewer knew who they are.

Sparklemotion had a hit on itunes from the Napoleon Dynamite Sountrack.

New Skin are a new English band produced by one of the guys who produced Depeche Mode and the Cure.

but whatever - the point is the album is really good - there's only one song I wasn't crazy about and for a soundtrack, that's saying a lot.

I can't say the same for the film...but oh well.

2 out of 5 stars Yet Another 80's Mostly Lame New Wave Cover Song Collection by Mostly Unknowns.......2007-01-28

I get the impression that cover song collections are quite the rage in Hollywood Movie circles when dealing with 'troubled' movie productions. It's cheap in that all the artists cannot command any upfront cash for their appearance. It smacks of indy-cred to get these artists, mostly electro-goth types, together. Too bad most of the cover versions are only mildly interesting. I also suspect that the soundtrack CD will be of more interest in a years time than the movie will...Why the producers of the film decided to so radically transform the book into a forced-copy of 'Underworld' escapes me, I guess filming for so cheap in Eastern Europe was the main reason. Too bad, I really enjoyed the book. Buy the book instead of buying this CD or watching the movie.

Except for Bow Wow Wow (glad to see they are struggling along still, but this IS DEFINITELY NOT their best work), almost all of these bands are probably unknown to 99.99% of the listening public. I have heard of Collide before this, kinda synthy darkwave band, very enjoyable, please go buy their other work ;) Almost of these songs lack the excitement and punch of the originals, why bother then making effort? I guess if I must, the first three songs are pleasant enough to listen to and I kind of like the Collide number as well...The rest can be safely deleted if you decide to convert these tracks to MP3s and just keep the aforementioned four tracks.

1 out of 5 stars Not enough room to hold ALL the great hits of yesteryear.......2007-03-13

Plus they chose songs that I can only describe as "almost-but-not-quite" hits. There are better choices.

WOW should take CCM Magazine's year-end charts, and release a "top 20" review for every year from 1975 to 1995. That would be a far more satisfying (and accurate) review of the history of Christian music.



5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Set.......2007-02-22

Wow Gold has some wonderful music. It does try to represent all genres of Christian music including Stryper's off key "To Hell with the Devil", which I am never in the mood to listen to. A few songs in this set were very popular in their day, but are now just too annoying to listen to no matter how powerful the message. Other songs were highly played contemporary Christian songs that I've memorized by heart and have enjoyed for years.

Wow Gold puts a variety of rock and upbeat songs on disc one and mainly worship songs and power ballads on disc 2. Disk two is my very favorite with songs such as: Easter Song, Praise the Lord, Undivided, and My Tribute. I listen to these heartfelt songs of devotion over and over again. All in all, I give WOW Gold 5 stars for putting the best of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding CD.......2006-12-19

Playing this CD brings back many memories of my walk with the Lord. If you like classic Christian contemporary music, you'll love this CD. It has music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2005-08-26

This wonderful two-CD set contains thirty of the greatest Christian songs from the 1970s, 80s and 90s! Everything is here from Rich Mullins' Awesome God to 2nd Chapter of Acts' Easter Song. (Obviously, those are a couple of my favorites!) This is a great CD set that has a little bit of everything, and all of it sounding great. Overall, I found the sound quality to be great, and I love listening to these CDs on my way home from work. They are a great way to recharge my battery and put me in a worshipful mood.

I love this CD set, and give it my highest recommendations!

5 out of 5 stars WOW, indeed!.......2003-08-31

Talk about the compilation of a lifetime! Some of the best contemporary Christian music (CCM) of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s can be found on this two-CD, 30-song compilation.

From Larry Norman's original 1972 Christian rock rallying cry "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?" to Dallas Holm & Praise's two-year chart topping song "Rise Again" to the absolutely delicious 1997 gospel-rock (there is no other way to classify this song) collaboration song "Stomp" by God's Property and Kirk Franklin, just about every CCM style out there is represented by the best of the best here.

In the mood for some good, old nostalgia? You're covered here with 1974's "Easter Song" by 2nd Chapter of Acts, and 1985's "Undivided" by First Call, as well as Keith Green's "You Put This Love In My Heart" and Russ Taft's first number one hit "We Will Stand."

There are many, many more songs on this compilation worth reliving. From the older "Phil Keaggy" to the newer "dc Talk," there is something for everyone. Make sure your collection contains these best of the best.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Dancehall CD.......2004-02-01

If you like or even heard Chaka Demus & Pliers "Tease Me" "Murder She Wrote" you'll enjoy Brain & Tony. I first heard them on a Reggae Dancehall compilation called Reggae Dancehall Stylee vol.1. "This Feeling Inside" will test the limits of your woofers and is a great tune. Unfortunately, that track can't be found on the Green Light album, but many other tracks fall along the same line. Brian & Tony do a great version of "Poison" originally by BellBivDevoe. I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants to break away from the pop crowd and also to listeners of Shaggy or Beanie Man.
