Be the first to review this product

Vocal Point is a contemporary men's a cappella group sponsored by the School of Music at Brigham Young University. They are consistent top-placers at the annual International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. And they rock. Seriously.

From the opening cover of Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe," you know that these guys have all the components necessary for a totally repeat-listen CD:
- Hit song? Check
- Great arrangements? Check.
- Versatility to nail a myriad of pop styles, including hard-edge pop rock ("Harder to Breathe"), jazz standards ("The Way You Look Tonight"), bluegrass ("O Brother Where Are Thou? Medley") and Disney pop (awesome cover of Phil Collins' "Strangers Like Me" from Tarzan)? Check.
- Awesome production with powerful low-end sound and kickin' vocal percussion? Check.
If all of these things haven't turned you into a believer ("I'm a Believer", track 7) and/or a buyer, then you are not a contemporary a cappella fan. Please proceed to the Classical A Cappella department here. (55:10 2004)
