City Limits – St. (Featuring: Scott Roley) (81) (Spirit Records)


One Of the most favorites Christians lps that I’ve ever heard is this: City Limits. Fantastic Chorus, Instrumental, all. Pure Magic is this fantastic lp, when I listen for the first time I could compares with “Michael james murphy” or “Farrell & Farrell” but this in my opinion is best!!. I’ve been choose 3 fantastic songs, the first one is “ the awakening”  I think is my number one favorite songs of Christian style. The second one is “heavenly father” some thing like “paul davis” and the third of this is “Cross your heart” fantastic!! Enjoy (pd: if anyone has a better rip please warn me!!).

Tony Comer & Crosswinds – St. (80) (Myrrh)


Awesome band! Awesome from 80, very R&B influences and gospel, I love this band,. This lp is kind of different than electro / funk, 84 lp (Visions).  It’s more Soul than anything but this first song “come unto the father” reminds me to “earth wind & fire”. 

Tim Curry And New Dispensation – Make Up Your Mind 1985 (Prazin’)



Glad To present this rare/no references lp of this band. Power monster killer gospel funk rare but very westcoast ccm influences!! I choose two wonderful songs “Make Up Your Mind” and “His Name Is Jesus”.  Pd. Not confuse with “tim curry” the actor lol!.

Oattes Van Schaik

One of my favorite Lps, is this "Oattes Van Schaik" or "The Limit" with his album called: "Love Attaxx" from 1984 or 85 (Portrait). His music is like "Funk, Pop" or "pop dance". But very influences in "westcoast". one of the best songs are: Destiny, Crimes of Passion, his Slow "Everything About You". But the best song (my opinion) is: "Could This be Love", this song is terrible!! almost unique in his style, and the voice is amazing! reminds me to "imperials - living without your love" on vocals. Dutch Duet with Bernad Oattes & Rob Van Schaik, had more lps, but with the name of "Future World Orchestra". Another exellent Production with his lp of 1983 "Mission Complete". It's a real pleasure to listen this lp (on mp3).
