    It's been quite a while since the last installment of our ongoing coverage of worship music releases, so without any ado here's an overview of a dozen or so releases from the latter half of 2000.

    Johnny Markin's final release before he moved from the UK back to his native Canada was Restore My Soul. The first few tracks are fairly predictable soft-rock efforts, but the acoustic title track's quite pleasant and the album picks up a little from there on. It's difficult to tell how well the tracks would translate to a corporate worship setting, but for private listening it's a pleasant release.
