This mostly accompanied recording features new interpretations of a number of classic popular songs. The two a cappella tracks are both Beach Boys numbers: laid back "Kokomo" and a lush, Four Freshman-like rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" arranged by Bob Chilcott and Brian Wilson! There's a wide range of accompaniment on the rest of the tunes, which include "Lift the Wings" from Riverdance, Paul Simon's "Spirit Voices" and more. The sound is quite different from typical KS accompanied pop - this time it's contemplative and more mainstream rather than syrupy like some earlier recordings. On most the vocal group is singing backup oo's and aa's to lead vocals by arranger Chilcott, baritone Gabriel Crouch or guest vocalists (Bruce Johnson, Gary Beckley, Midge Ure, and others). Different, but well done! (57:33 1997)
