    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 twelfth volume of New Wine's live worship series, The Heartbeat of God, is another of the "slightly better than average" live releases. The band is tight and the selection of songs actually differs slightly from the standard one. But only slightly. The latest Keswick Praise (volume 15) differs more strikingly by having a range of songs from the past few years. Their less energetic style seems to lessen the up front role of the worship leader, which helps the album stand out and may well be a good thing.
