 Debut
album by Michael James Mette just what youth
need
Modern Rock/Worship music minister-Michael
James Mette, is pleased to announce the
release of
ALWAYS WHAT I NEED, fresh new music
inspired by the artist's Catholic faith. The
songs found on this CD address the prevalent
issues and questions that teenagers are faced
with today. Through his experiences as a music
minister, and working with teens and young
adults, Michael James Mette continues to hear a
common theme “What is this life for?”
The fundamental choice between doubt and faith
is addressed in original songs (penned by Mette)
like "Know Love Serve" and "This is Our Lamb",
while "Always What I Need" and "Prepare Me"
point to a reliance on God's providence. With an
energy and style that cuts through the apathy of
a "Guitar Hero" generation, Michael's timeless
message finds a comfortable niche for the youth
of the Church. Other songs covered on the album
include new twists on classic praise and worship
songs like “Open the Eyes of My Heart”, and
“Lord I Lift your Name on High”. There is also a
driving, power praise & worship version of
“Where the Streets Have No Name” made popular by
mainstream artist-U2, and an original
sing-a-long sure to be embraced by youth groups
everywhere titled “I’ve Got the Joy”.

 Matthew
Baute releases instrumental album
Thomas Merton
(the Trappist monk) is quoted as saying
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of
balance and order and rhythm and harmony.” No
doubt we all seek
Harmony and Balance in our life. But,
along the way, sometimes our vision is clouded
by insecurity, clutter, doubt and a lack of
faith. It seems that many of us fall victim to
the “noise” that surrounds us. We are distracted
by inconvenience, inconsistencies, and
interruptions. But, when clarity emerges we are
able to visualize a rebirth and renewal that
gets us back on track to a life fulfilled.
"This CD is inspired by the notion that life can
be so much more rewarding when we don't
complicate it," Matthew says. "My hope is that
this instrumental album will help you to relax
and live in the "now" instead of worrying about
'tomorrow'. Whether you are listening to this
project in your office, on the train, in an
airport, in a park, on the beach, in your home
or wherever else you may be... I pray that it
helps lead you to a place of utmost joy and
peace. May you find yourself refreshed and less
stressed. May you experience, through this music
and through many other wonderful graces that are
waiting for you, an authentic awakening of your
mind, your body, and especially your heart."

Faith
and fatherhood permeate latest CD by Martin
Doman
Legacy is Martin Doman's sixth
CD, but it contains more original songs than any
other project. The thematic image of fatherhood
and faith runs throughout each song, beginning
with "Blood of the Brotherhood," an anthem for
spiritual warfare written for a Catholic men's
conference. "Thanks to You" is dedicated to
Martin's father and the sacrifices he made to
raise his family. The collection also includes
the poignant "Talitha Cumi", a song based on a
poem written by a mother whose baby died a few
hours after birth. This touching conversation
between mother, child and Christ beautifully
expresses the hope that lies hidden in tragedy.
The CD concludes with a stirring rendition of
"The Impossible Dream (The Quest)." Overall,
"Legacy's" tone and arrangements are a variation
from simple reflective songs to powerful
anthems. It is a collection that seeks to lift
the listener to higher things, and exalt the
love of God found in the Christian life.
