I think you should consider this song by song making them quality and the best that you've ever made.  Produce them as if they were "singles" instead of trying to rush a full project.

You would def have to put your own twists on them... maybe breakaway from the classic melody but with the classic lyrics ect..

I agree nitro praise murdered this idea back in the day but if oakenfold created an album of hymns today I know that it would kick but and I'd probably buy it.
So don't sell your art short!

I redid an old hymn about a year ago that is in public domain so I wouldn't have to worry about royalties ;-)

I could redo the vocals and release that on an album... I think its a pretty good modern update to the old hymn.  I took the idea of making it an electronica lullaby and ran with it.

All this said... I haven't seen one electronica/dance worship project take off really ever... so its a hard market that you're attempting to jump into.

Who did the vocals on that one?

Sounds like the Flaming Lips  Wink

Excellent track djsiah, absolutely love it. It would be perfect for the album if it goes ahead. It is the only thing that has made me think that the project is still a good idea!

I like the Andy Hunter stuff, have heard bits of his stuff before but not his first album. He is a really talented producer. The Tresice re3mixes are spot on too particulary Rain Down as this is a worship song I know and have sung in Church.

Thanks for the verse of scripture ecliptik, making me think.

I think on the whole I will think about any ide I have properly and not rush things. As a new Christian it is easy to think I can do what I want for God but I have to remember that it is the other way around. I have to do what God wants for me. If this is in his plan then it will happen, but I definately dont want to do anything short of the best I can.

Thanks for all your comments they have helped me a lot and I am definately glad I joined Tasty Fresh.

Sparrow records was releasing a Electronica worship project about a year ago called "oceans above"

This should inspire you bro...

I love it but I don't think that it was ever released into stores :-(

just make sure that you do something new, not redo something that has already been done, either in the secular or the christian markets.

If someone ever charged you with being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Covers blow.  Pretty much 90% of the time.  Unless it's Blue Man Group covering "Baba O'Riley"

Instead of pressing a bunch of these to sell,  let's do this.  Give me the cash and I'll go spend it on Tacos.  It'll be just about as effective.

1.  Take the time to hone your musical craft.  It's gonna take 4 or 5 years to really "get it" but it's worth it!

2.  Sourround yourself with those who are where you want to be.

3.  Take all the advice you can.

4.  Don't reinvent the wheel if it's already round.  Consider moving on to different modes of propulsion if you're not into the wheel.

I don't know much about them, just remembered a few hit songs.

Actually I just realized I was thinking of Blind Melon:

Flaming lips sounds a little like that too though:

Great attitude!

Here's another good dance worship song people should check out:

Tru Funktion - Love You

http://www.24-7prayer.com/cm/shop/product/15/

Unfortunately this sound clips ends before the singing starts, but it's a beautiful love song to Jesus.

"Jesus I love you, Jesus I adore you"

I'll try and put a better clip up myself if I remember when I get home tonight, but it's a beautiful worship song, and the whole CD is worth checking out.

Another great tune from 24-7 is "The Vision"

There's very little I can add to this discussion..

but indeed, tell me WHY does so much christian art miss orginality?
Remixes can be great if you do them extremely well, personally, I totally love 'God of wonders' by Excito.

Last but not least, and a little bit off topic: I'd love to write lyrics for anyone. I already wrote some stuff for Triple D (check 'purpose' http://www.tripled.be/audio.htm).
it is sung by Michelle, the singer of the album of DJ Phase.
I really wrote them as a christian, but in a way non-christians can relate to it:

the lyrics for that song:

Quote
Sometimes
when my mind is cooling off
I wonder why I live this life
while all returns to dust

sometimes
my motivation needs a refill
and even though mankind runs on
I wonder if I will

(tell me)

what kind of purpose do I have
when I will lose all at one day?
I need the courage that I lack
what is the a purpose to to my life?
is it a game?

My soul
seems too dry to satisfy
I think of beauty, peace and love
I break down and I cry

My soul
looks for something more
I know for sure there's more to life
live for Someone who adores

(tell me)

what kind of purpose do I have
when I will lose all at one day?
I need the courage that I lack
is the a purpose to to my life?
is it a game?

another lyric I originally wrote for Gerwin Koudijs and has been used by Triple D, not finished yet:

Quote
I scratch and sweep the pieces of the past times
Not knowing what it brings, they say such chaos causes luck
No mirror left to look now, no image leaves me stuck
I’m heading forward now again so I feel fine

I know I cant’ be mowing when I keep always looking back
I know it will cause curves left in my virgin mowing track
The past is left again, and now I turn again my head
To get the life that’s right here inside my chest

My hands are hurt and blooded cause of breaking
But the effect echoes short compared to the yield that it may give
No action is no option and plus the pain is relative
Efficient is the keyword, decrease the aching

The pain will remain
But it’s no target that I aim (at)
Cos I  won’t re-open this door
I closed before (no more)

if any of the lyrics isn't 100% perfect English, forgive me for English is not my mother tongue Tongue
