Can I get an amen?

Sabbath Assembly is kind of like psychedelic rock gospel

the lyrics are taken from actually sheet music written by members of the Process Church of Final Judgement...who for the most part took a kind of polytheistic approach to Christianity....

that link is actually two songs....the best example of them start right around the 4:12 mark

Makes me think of the samples from that Front 242 song also

:

"Hey poor, you don't have to be poor anymore...Jesus is here!"
"No sex until marriage"
"I'm a sinner, I deserve to go to Hell"

Unbelievable how engrained in my mind those types of samples are. SP, TKK, F242, MBM, etc. At least once a week something triggers those samples to pop in my thoughts. I guess the drugs are partly responsible for that - they're mixed in with my brain circuitry.

I really love this very different, but joyous version of The Melodians reggae classic. Ironically, the original is often attributed to Jimmy Cliff because his name is attached to The Harder They Come soundtrack on which the song first appeared, so it's really cool to actually see this live version of him doing his own very amazing rendition of the song:

Does Arvo Pärt count? He's great.

Even though I am not Christian, I like a lot of the old gospel. Blinde Willie Johnson's just wonderful.

Can't find anything of him that sounds like gospel at all.
Link?

Oh I doubt he's Gospel. But pretty much all of his works are religious. I think so anyway. I don't speak Latin.

But yeah I guess, like the Wikipedia article says, it's all mainly just a Christian take on

mainstream secular music.

So pretty much Jesus pop music.
