    With music from the soul and lyrics from the heart, Nightwatch pours forth 12 tracks on this custom tape entitled "Coming Back." Contained within are eleven uptempo contemporary devotional tunes. "Face to Face" (which caught this reviewer's attention) was a surprise ear grabber, as well as the instrumental jam, thrown in for grins. The sound quality, however, needs mucho work-o. As expected the vocals stand out clearly, while there are vast fluctuations between the lead guitar and rhythm guitar. Then there are the drums, which are not only muddy and gargled, but take a musical beating. Hey guys, next time adjust the E.Q....please. Lyrical content and musical arrangement are important combinations, but clearness and clarity of the overall signal can make or break the best of arrangements. To order, send $6.95 (plus $1.50 shipping and handling) to: 821 Lynn St, Parkersburg, WV 26101.
