Various Artists – The Nativity Scene

What better soundtrack to the end times that this 24 track collection of “turned on” Christian youth music? The material is wildly diverse; the hard Hendrix-influenced fuzz of 4th Movement, the avant-classical/garage stylings of Tedd Smith, the orchestrated pop of Turning Point, the Byrdsy harmonies of The Mission, the huge breakbeats of David Fanshawe’s “African Sanctus,” the inner space mind melt of Crosscurrent Community’s “Genesis,” and so much more. Assembled from various thrift store finds, and contains no overlap with the similarly-themed “resurrection” and “Holy Fuzz” comps. Includes three panel booklet with photos, artwork and commentary. This is a split release with Elefantplatte.

Edition of 100, printed sleeve, tri-fold insert; F&S edition released in 2007.
