Trent, for the uninitiated, are the resident worship ministry from Trent Vineyard in Nottingham. They also have quite a following at New Wine, and were the resident worship band at Venue 2 this year (for at least one of the weeks). Their brand of contemporary pop/rock played with the precision of a chart outfit appeals to a wide age range, and the intensity of their worship without the ’showiness’ of some other well-known worship ministries.
Their latest album, Burn Bright, was recorded live at the church in Nottingham, and offers excellent value with both an audio CD and a live video produced to a TV-quality. Additional bonus items on the DVD include a mini-documentary about Trent, interviews with the pastors of Trent Vineyard and some tuition videos to teach the songs. Some of the songs have already appeared on other Trent albums, but there are also new songs here. Standout tracks for me included the intense, sub-1980’s groove on Love Divine and the opening track Now and Ever, both well-suited to congregational worship.
Christian CDs can often be quite expensive, especially when compared to the mass-market mainstream chart equivalent, so value-adding as we see here can make a considerable difference when swallowing the cost. Inspiring content from a great ministry.
