Okay; this has gone on far longer than I anticipated. Much of what you've read here should either be obsolete or glaringly obvious by now. Like I said earlier; I wrote it late last year/early 2007.
And now - after a WORRYINGLY quiet start - 2007 is now moving at a blistering pace.
Great new releases abound, the live scene is vibrant, MySpace is an absolute haven for music from both new and established artists. All of this bodes well for my 2007 review (which I'm hoping wouldn't be as late as this one )
So what better way to sign off than to say this: if you're an artist, I hope I'll be writing about you next year. If you're not, I hope this has been of some use to you...
Either way, our ultimate aim has to be the taking of this powerful message of Christ's sacrifice far beyond ourselves, beyond those that already know, wisely and effectively depositing it directly into other peoples' lives...
