The festivals are characterized by more than just music; many feature motivational speakers and evangelists, and include seminars on Christian spiritual and Mission (Christian), missions topics, Community service, service, and evangelism. They are often viewed as evangelical tools, and small festivals can draw 10 times the crowd of traditional revival meetings. While the central theme of a Christian festival is Jesus Christ, the core appeal of a Christian music festival remains the artists and their music. Critics point out that the dichotomy of business and religious interests can be problematic for Christian festivals. In similar ways as the Christian music industry in general, festivals can be drawn away from their central theme and gravitate toward co ...

Touch (Delirious? Album)

The cover for the album featured a black thermosensitive plate which would reveal a photograph of the band when it became warm (ideally, from the "touch" of a human hand). Two versions of this album exist, a limited edition two-disc set and an 'international version' only containing disc one.

Audio Lessonover?
''Audio Lessonover?'' is the fourth studio album by the Christian rock band Delirious?, released in August 2001. It gathered considerably less critical acclaim than previous Delirious? albums, both musically and in its lack of overtly Christian lyrics. The sole single released from the album, ''Waiting for the Summer'', reached number 26 in the UK Singles Charts; "Take Me Away", originally planned to be the second single, was released to MP3.com as a free download. Background, writing and recording Following the more experimental music of ''Mezzamorphis'' and '' Glo'', Delirious aimed for a "stripped-down" pop sound on their new album, influenced by, among others, Coldplay, Radiohead, and the Manic Street Preachers. Many of the songs were recorded semi-live in the studio, giving the album a raw feel. Chuck Zwicky (former engineer for Prince and Semisonic) was brought in to oversee production of the album. According to Stu G, Zwicky was very influential in the recording of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
