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.
The album that most clearly breaks the mold is the latest from The Violet Burning, I Am A Stranger In This Place. A best-of of sorts, this album sees the band re-recording a selection of their worship tunes in the style of their last couple of albums, packed with brooding guitars and heavy vibes. It's not going to be to everyone's tastes -- it doesn't sit comfortably with the albums mentioned up to this point -- and isn't quite up to the standard of their self-titled release, but this is an excellent collection.
