Scott Blackwell has made quite an impact on Christian music in the past two years. His solo projects aside, his new N-Soul label has pushed the envelope for Christian dance music in new directions. This project by the ambiguous (choosing to use pseudonyms) group Raving Loonatics, continues that push.
Visually set with a comic-book-like cover and insert, My King is ten Rave/Techno musical tracks with samples of famous sermons. The first track takes parts of Billy Graham's explosive "Man in the Fifth Dimension." The rest of the preaching packs just as intense a punch, from persevering through trials ("The Real Gift"), to truly putting faith in God ("God is Real"), to the urgency that we need to accept the Lord with ("Pressure Point") just to name a few.
Produced by Blackwell, Greg Hobgood, Mind Benders, Max Hsu, Steve Nixon, and Zarc Porter, this is an interesting album that gave me a pretty good shock at first, but that I have grown to enjoy. I wouldn't recommend it for non-Christian club-goers, but it's certainly a neat project for a Christian dance fan.
