Are you after a double-album full of exciting, Christ-centered tunes, the proceeds of which go directly to a worthy cause overseas? I’m not talking about Bob Dylan’s Christmas In The Heart (although I’ll probably get that too) – no, I’m talking about FLOW/OVERFLOW, the latest musical gem out of the Australian Southern Territory College for Officer Training
On FLOW:

My opinion of FLOW/OVERFLOW could be pretty well summed up by the fact that I don’t even like worship music, but love this album.

FLOW/OVERFLOW is put out by the cadets of said Training College. They’re a talented bunch to be sure. Amongst their musical ranks are the likes of Cadets Nathan Rowe and Catherine Mackenroth, those well known and favoured worship leaders; their signature mind-blowing standard sets the tone and their perhaps lesser known peers boldly follow suit.

On FLOW:

“Silently” features the dulcet tones of former MSB soloist Rachel Peterson – this song is like a musical massage. Rachel is accompanied by some type of archangel on piano who lays down an ascending chord progression, each note of which is like an invitation to climb that steep slope to Heaven. Absolutely precious.

Kathleen Pearce gives us a fresh interpretation of the Gowans song, “Someone Cares”. I think someone just improved on perfect. Actually, every new arrangement sounds as if the words were written to be sung the way you hear it – the purists may disagree, but FLOW just may have provided us with new, definitive versions of each song on it.

If you aren’t listening too carefully, Pearce’s track transitions seamlessly to “Living Waters”. Listening to this is like learning to fly. A simple, soaring melody, and steady, driving beat, carried by an organ that would make Billy Preston proud. Fans of the immortal key change will also be well satisfied.

Speaking of iconic rock musicians, is that the pioneer of the New Sound, Brian May, dispensing those wailing guitar licks on “Return”? No! Turns out that it’s just the ineffably cool Captain Rowan Castle –  thanks for stopping by.

I’ve merely described a couple of my favourite songs but the fact of the matter is that you won’t find a single weak track. In the words of that clock wearing lyrical mastermind, Flavor Flav, ‘it’s all good’.

OVERFLOW:

The children’s album opens with a crazy cute reading of some of Jesus’ own words: “Let the little children come to me…” The songs and prayers will certainly help you along the way. The Scriptural truths are proclaimed boldly; the prayers are uttered sincerely, like only a child can be sincere; and the songs on this side are just as mind-blowing as on the other. Listen to OVERFLOW and hear children, “every power and thought engaging”. This is exciting stuff.

Much thanks to the cadets for this inspiring project. The proceeds will go to facilitate the training of cadets overseas. God bless them all.

“Ah, Flow and Overflow. The aptly named double album, hot off the press, straight out of your friendly neighbourhood Training College.

On one side, you’ve got the classic, lyrical mastery from Salvo legends of old revved up with fresh tunes. And then you’ve got some completely brand new material written by the most musically talented cadets you ever heard – some of them you know well, and the others are a surprise. I venture to guess your response to these new artists will be the same as the time you first had gelato: “where have you been all my life!?”

The general tone of the second side is set when it opens with a succinct, sincere reading of some of Jesus’ own words: ‘let the little children come to me, don’t send them away.’ These young ones sing, pray and declare amazing Scriptural truths like they mean it – just try and tell me the bold faith of children isn’t refreshing and contagious! Overflow is straight up exciting! Oh, and that first note on ‘No Retreating’ – make sure you’re sitting down. It’s a knock out.

This thing is better than Newton’s First Law of Motion: there is no absence of force.

Prepare to be moved.”

Words: William Henry Hutchings SASB 649

While here before thy cross I kneel,
To me thy love impart;
With a deep, burning love for souls,
Lord, fill my craving heart.

Lord, fill my craving heart,
Lord, fill my craving heart,
With a deep, burning love for souls,
Lord, fill my craving heart.

With mighty power my soul baptise,
My longing heart inspire,
That I may from this moment rise
A living flame of fire.

Lord, fill my craving heart,
Lord, fill my craving heart,
With a deep, burning love for souls,
Lord, fill my craving heart.
