Armchair Rebellion puts the listener on the dance floor with one of the most exciting bands playing in the name of Jesus. Here Jesus is Lord and worthy of your praise. Any Christian DJ can slip this CD in at a secular gig without embarrassing himself. This album is top notch praise and worship. Armchair Rebellion is a biting indictment against complacency which makes sub par praise and worship albums such big money makers.
Musically, Psalmistry made some wise artistic decisions without compromising the essence of industrial music. There are no instruments on the album other than sampling keyboards and drums. But the hooks and beats are so captivating that you will be disappointed when the lengthy cuts draw to a close. There is a fine line in industrial dance between extended grooves and pointless repetition. Psalmistry always stays on the exciting side of the line. Their furious energy and hard-edged sound sounds somewhat similar to Prodigy or Chemical Brothers with synths and strong female vocals. There is even a punk song to show this band's versatility.
Great driving music too but watch your speed. Give this a try today. Hey, N*Soul how about some live shows in the US.

And the recipe for success consists of equal parts of the following: Matt Wilshire's "love of Latin Jazz percussion," MC Edi Johnston's rapping, the tricky loops spliced together by Tony Silcock, the ethereal vocals of Lucy Britten and Helen…
