Thanks for the recommendation sosick, I have not heard of that band. I don't actually have any real Christian band music! I never heard much of it and when I did, not much of it grabbed me in the respect of the music itself. But again I don't think I've given much of it enough of a chance either.

But, I have one of Gregorian Monks and I have to say I find it absolutely beautiful to listen to. Whenever i hear it, I start thinking of Heavenly things, rather than life around me. Hard to explain, but the heart feels lifted up when hearing it.

I also enjoy Enya, which for me has a sound about it that again lifts me. I get the same with Christmas Carols too (in another way). Some people cannot stand this stuff, but I love it. I used to play carols anytime I felt like it and got told off for it too as a kid. I guess I was ruining it for everybody lol. I need that music, because it's the kind that doesn't ever disturb or wind me up. Rather, it's for the soul.

Hey, you mentioned that movie Ray (about ray charles), my father has a few on Al Jolson. "The Jolson Story" and it's regarded as one of the alltime best musical biographies. The sequel was called "Jolson sings again". His career had an amazing ressurection. I wonder if you've seen those? If not, I would highly recommend them.
