"I'm not sure which of the Parachute Band's albums this actually is, their New Zealand releases are You Alone, Always and Forever, Adore, and Love. I presume its the most recent one. Anyway, they're all good and have changed the shape of praise and worship in NZ over the last 3 or 4 years. Their songs are real and honest."
Awesome Band!

"These "down-unders" are really bringing forth the most awesome worship songs. "How I long for You" is worth the purchase. It is a refreshing CD both with the lyrics and the music. Honest, intimate expression of worship that you'll probably wear your CD player out with."
A quantum leap

"Sincere and rock-solid from beginning to end, this album really demonstrates the band's evolution; a quantum leap in quality and professionalism from their first, experimental 'You Alone.' The Maori-language song 'Aue,' with which the album begins and ends, will blow you AWAY.If I had to choose favorite (English) selections, they would be:Always and Forever -- a lovely song of love and trust given added momentum by a gentle beat.I'm Your Servant, How I Long for You, and Pure and Holy -- if these aren't pure heart-cries of worship, I don't know what is. Listen and you'll know what I mean.I Fall Down -- Chris DeJong at her exuberant rocking best.All in all, this album has that 'something' (hmmm...maybe talent married to a true anointing?) that just makes it WORK. An early effort, yet it may prove to stand as one of their best."
