Shine...The Hits Special Edition

Sparrow SPD44646

If you're new to the pop rock delights of the Australian-cum-Nashville band, this is the best introduction you could get. As well as 17 hits, including such classics as "Shine", "Breakfast", "Take Me To Your Leader" and "Entertaining Angels", there is a DVD with three hours of footage with live concert performances of most of their bigger songs plus four concept videos. No one could argue that down the years Peter Furler and the lads have produced some of the best radio friendly CCM of the era and many cuts here still sound as fresh as a daisy.

reviewer's rating: 9/10 ["excellent"]
