What's on my iPod Favourite musicians include the guitarists Jeff Beck (the jazz/rock stuff, not the '60s material), Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, jazzer Joe Pass, one of my favourite albums would be 'Kind of Blue' by trumpet player Miles Davis (John Coltrane was an awesome saxophonist). I also really like the album 'Blue Sun' by jazz trumpet player Mark Isham - he's clearly very talented and versatile as this is the same Mark Isham who has written orchestral film scores for many major Hollywood films as well as being a jazz trumpeter. I also enjoy JS Bach, Baroque, Classical, some so-called chillout club music, world music, the soundtrack to the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu film 'Babel', Peter Gabriel's soundtrack album 'Passion', the Vangelis soundtrack to the Ridley Scott film '1492'... But in comparison with Christian worship, I can't honestly say that any of that secular stuff means that much to me...'Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own'. To be lost in wonder, love and praise before God for his awesome grace and mercy as demonstrated at the cross of Christ is an experience nothing else can compare with. 'Delight yourself in the Lord...'! Psalm 37:4
When I survey the wondrous cross Isaac Watts
When I survey the wondrous cross
Forbid it Lord that I should boast
See from His head, His hands, His feet
