As the story goes Mike Stand was resting after a surgery and decided to break out his Tascam 4 track and listen to some recordings the band made in 91 & 93. For some reason back in the day the boys were unable to release these recordings. Mike decided to see if he could get these recordings released so he ran a kickstarter to raise funds for the album. They successfully raised over $23,000 so we are blessed with a new, old album. The sound of this album is classic Altar boys so any fan of them back then will be a fan of this album. It’s not that often a situation likes this comes so I found it to be a real treat.

I’m glad to find this album exists. I fell out of the CCM scene years ago but still love listening to these old 90’s albums (these were my formative music years.) Interesting that they didn’t manage to release these back then, but “Surround Me” and “Give Our Hearts Back to God” (retitled “Give”) were actually first released on the first Clash of Symbols album. Both versions are different enough but there’s a special place in my heart for the versions on “Sunday Is An Alltogether Different Proposition”
