Search - The Violet Burning :: Stranger In This Place

Fans of the Violet Burning, with their atmospheric, otherworldly, layered pop and Michael J. Pritzl's unique and evocative vocals, have for some years been wishing for a retrospective disc, especially since most of their earlier recordings are out of print. I Am A Stranger In This Place fits the bill perfectly, as some of the most beautiful songs from The Violet Burning, "Strength", and "Chosen" form the core of this compilation, with a couple of representative cuts from Demonstrates Plastic an Elastic and even a new composition, "Arabella", rounding it out. The kicker is that these are all new recordings of these previously-released songs. Thus, I Am A Stranger In This Place provides new emphases on, and differences from, the earlier versions, making this newly-recorded retrospective a good place for virgin Violet listeners and for long-time fans to hear old friends newly discovered. As always with the Violets, these are incredibly beautiful, absolutely ravishing sonic snapshots of faith, surrender, and devotion to Jesus. How blessed we are to have this available. Do your soul and your spirit a favor, and buy this.
