Some acts don’t travel well, even though they represent considerable rootage in their own context. New Zealand’s The Parachute Band has produced such an act in the live worship album You Alone.

No doubt the venue(s) and event(s) at which this music was recorded were a great thing. But on a CD, far from the tree whence the apple falls, it comes across as a B List production.

That’s a shame, because the movement of which The Parachute Band is a part is a formidable and not infrequently beautiful thing. ‘Just goes to show the soft underbelly of the ‘live worship album’ phenomenon.
