Music Review
There were an awful lot of CDs in the reviewing box this month. My first thought was: perhaps there are too many Christian music acts around. Perhaps we should all just get on with our work.

Music Review
Beating Time WORLD SERVICE (CD) By Delirious? Furious? Records The BBC World Service. I appreciate its existence, and the important part it plays in the lives of many people. But when I am tuning in my radio station presets, it isn't among them.

Music Review
Beating Time ALL RIGHT HERE By Sara Groves Sponge Records A first impression of this CD said quirky yet cool female solo artists: all at once deliciously self-indulgent and yet not really very edifying. The whole angsty, me-versus-the-world demeanour found in such music appeals to my adolescent side, but I know it doesn't help when one is trying not to conform to the pattern of this world any longer. Anyway, as I said, these were my first impressions. I wasn't entirely wrong. Sara Groves definitely has her Fiona-Apple-cum-Alanis-Morrisette moments.
