mid-90s Christian rock
I’m going through some of my oldest CDs, having a bit of a prune. Right now I’m listening to Transmission volume 5, which David gave to me. Transmission, if I remember correctly, was a NZ-based Christian music magazine which ran for a few years, a few years ago. They included a CD with each issue. The music is OK at times, but it mostly seems really thin, dualist and escapist (please Jesus get me out of this terrible world). I feel like they aren’t grounded, rooted in the forms they’re playing in. It’s more like floating on top like oil on water, and (to change gears) mining others’ riches to ‘get the message out’.

there was only 1 track on those transmission cd’s that really stands out in my memories. I think it was track 4 on CD1 (which got stolen, Dear Lord, work in the heart of the theif as they listen to that cd.). I’m sure you remember it matt.
I would pay a significant amount of money to hear that track again.
I’ll see what I can find…
