Various Artists
Seltzer 2
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
In the label's second edition of their Seltzer series, ForeFront utilizes the popularity of such bands as the Supertones, Five Iron Frenzy, and Plankeye, and newer artists like Jennifer Knapp and Miss Angie. But also included are material by the label's own artists ("Peace" by Grammatrain, "Audio A's "Never Gonna Be as Big as Jesus," and Skillet's "Saturn," etc.). It's also cool to see some lesser known, but eclectic (and similarly named) ensembles like The Electrics and Joy Electric. An interesting thing about the video in relation to the CD, is that not all the songs on the video are on the CD, and vice versa. A plus for fans wanting to hear different songs by the same artist, but perhaps a minus for those who hear a particular song on the CD, and then buy the video with the intention of seeing that same song performed. The disc is full, with 17 tracks, but the video's song count isn't too shabby either at 14.
