Yes - Glass Harp rules!
Hey Yesspaz,
I own the self entitled Glass Harp Album as well as "It Makes Me Glad." The self entitled album is a real Gem with some amazing guitar work and jamming. The self entitled album is very textured and orchestral sounding. I was just listening to it earlier today, in fact. It stands out as my favorite "Christian prog" or christian rock for that matter, and one of my favorite records of all.
In my humble opinion, with Glass Harp's first album, Keaggy was at his creative peak. Perhaps this can be attributed somewhat to the fact that he enjoyed tripping on acid a lot during this part of his life. After Keaggy suffered a family death and a bad acid trip he quit Glass Harp and went solo returning to a more conservative Christianity. In both contexts he has made some outstanding records.
As far as "It Makes Me Glad," the record has its moments but was a letdown after hearing their first effort. This album sounds a lot looser, toned down, and hippier.
I have not heard any of Synergy.
As I have stated earlier, I think it would be great to have some Glass Harp featured on this station. They made some wonderful music that I think would appeal to the listeners here.
