about  the  album

Available on iTunes and Amazon

fire & light   (Seven Thunders Records, 1990)

What inspired the concept of this album?

I saw "Fire & Light" as a kind of an extension of  "Name Above All Names" . "Name" was a prophetic warfare album, and in my opinion, the natural progression of this dimension of spirituality is to see praise & worship as a force of devastation to the powers of darkness. A weapon of warfare if you will.

"How did you arrive at this conclusion?"

About the time of the recording of the album "Name Above All Names", I had gotten really turned on to worship. You might say that I had a revelation of worship. I had been making time to sit down at my keyboard and personally worship the Lord, which is something I'd never done before. I had been receiving songs in times of personal worship already, but I had also been writing songs at the piano in the more conventional way that dealt with the subject of praise and worship

"So, the process was different,  did you find that these songs differed as well?..."

I did.  Many of these songs were coming out of the study that I was doing through the Bible on the subject of worship. I was actually writing more praise oriented songs at the piano, more up-tempo than what I was receiving in the more contemplative times of personal worship. Some were celebratory, some were instructional, and some were more reverent and contemplative. Although I didn't and don't consider F&L to be a worship album, all the songs dealt  with aspects of praise and worship in some way. My concept was to sequence the album from a more celebratory mood, winding down to represent a kind of an arc from praise into worship  ..."

"
You mentioned some problems you have with the sound of the album.
 
From a technical standpoint this was my first album done in the digital realm. Calvary Chapel was funding the album and the recording was done in their studio.
Digital technology was young at the time. I had no real experience and working in this domain. 
​Consequently, to me the album is a bit harsh and aggressive sonically. Technically, it is not my favorite album.
