Gungor says that this album represents "liturgical rock" styles and he wasn't joking. I described it to a friend as a fusion of musical styles (classical, folk, rock, jazz and praise and worship) and even those descriptions are inadequate to describe what we experienced.
I've long known that visual worship is a coming thing for the church, but what I experienced that afternoon was like walking through an art gallery of heaven with a chorus of angels singing the most sincere and passionate music of heaven. It was incredible.
Earlier in the day we had heard from Dan Cathy of Chik-Fil-A and how they're trying to provide a remarkable experience for each customer each time they come into their stores. That's exactly what Gungor did for us.
Their album releases today and I would urge you to go and get this album. I plan to have it in my ears as I run my half marathon in a couple of weeks. It's that good.
They are coming to Austin in April and if I didn't already have something planned for that day that I couldn't get out of, I'd be there. If you can go--go see this experience.

glad you were able to experience this! this is one of the best CDs and musical journey's i've ever been on.
just FYI, MediaShout wasn't a part of the Gungor experience that night...nate griffin of grateful inconvenience was VJ-ing that night and used PVP for the whole night.
thanks for capturing part of the night on video!

Thanks for correcting me on this. I just heard them say "Nate" and I thought it was Nate from Media Shout.
I've corrected my blog with correct kuddos to Nate and PVP and Grateful Inconvenience.
I hope next year at RECREATE that there will be something extensive about VJ'ing and Architectural lighting. With the Olympics showing off what that medium can do I can only imagine how it will be used for the Kingdom
Blessings
