1000 Generations – To Those Who Cry
There is a gentle praise quality that comes from the melodic, techno instrumentals that can be found in the mainstream market. 1000 Generations seem to know this full well and their best songs have crafted a sound that can best be described as Moby with the vocals of Dan Haseltine (Jars of Clay) taking turns with the vocals Danielle Young (Caedmon’s Call). Track after track the listener is treated to ambient noise loops (noise in the cool subtle and peaceful meaning of the word) and gentle vocal tones that lead you to offering your heart.
But that’s not all. The tempo speeds a bit with songs like “You Make My Skeletons” and “Help Me Let Me Let Myself Be Loved,” which, as the title would suggest, it’s a tune with fun lyric twists and a playful beat that catches you in its rhythm. A standout song “The Rest of the Way” maintains a more traditional structure but is a beautiful tune that works as a confessional as well as praise to the Author of our faith.
