NOUVEAUX

Hey, there! It's been several weeks since I last updated this so, I'm back. I'm going step back for awhile in featuring Canadian artists and bands for this incredible CD that I bought a few weeks ago. The CD in mention is Beginnings by the band NOUVEAUX. I've read the comments left for this album at Heavy Harmonies and got very excited. I saw this at one of the CD and Games stores in town (which is not one of my favorite) and immediately bought this. And boy, once I pushed play, the sound was tremendous. I mean Def Leppard-style production! From the chorus to the over-the-top production - not to mention the Christian lyrics, this one is a winner in my book. Oh, I forgot to tell you that this is a Christian band. Just the opening track alone (We Believe and with lyrics like We believe in the Creator of the skies) you'll know what they're all about. Third track (Holding My Own) has the lyrics "...mountains will fall in your presence and the ocean will stand in your way" that will stick to your mind like a gum on your shoe. Track 6 "All That Glitters" has the crunching guitars again and of course, awesome melodies. In fact the melodies or what we know as "hooks" here in this album are so huge (oh, I hate to use this but...), they can catch a whale. This was released in 1994 but can definitely stand toe-to-toe with some of the best CCM artists and bands of today. And one barometer that I use in determining which one I know the masses will like is my wife. She likes the music in this CD!!! But most importantly, again, this band gives glory to whom glory is due.
