Remedy Club Tour Edition (CD+DVD): A remedy for worship stagnation

Catchy melodies, simple yet profound lyrics, edgy pop- rock worship. The David Crowder Band is so like the UK band delirious? in that their songs are intrinsically who they are. These are not songs for the studio but are fresh anthems for today. These songs slip in undetected and in the morning you awake declaring that the King is here.
The 5.1 and DTS sound on the DVD is arguably a more engaging listening experience than the studio version as most of the material is written for crowd participation. When the crowd exuberantly sings the refrain `La, la, la, la,` that excitement that this is more than just a concert is sensed each time you watch. New York (where this was filmed) is singing for the great King. There are a number of times where this occurs and you are drawn into that experience either singing along with the lyric subtitles (chords included!) or just being undone as you cry out with the violin interlude of `You are my joy'.

This is a perfect hits package of most of the DCB's music. Music that repeats phrases followed by lyrics that too are deliberately repetitive but always for effect with a delightful twist that is poetic in style (unlike the repetition of a 90s church chorus not knowing where to end!)

What great value to have the experience of seeing DCB play live in your living room and then to take the CD with you for car play. Having seen this band live at the Parachute Festival (January '09 New Zealand) I was hungry for more. This package was just what I needed. If you have woken up a little late to this fresh wave of raw worship that is shouted out with Texan artistic flair - get this DVD and laugh with David and his honest, endearing and unbelievably melodic ways.
