The release that turned me into the fan that I am today. I had never heard a sound so lush and beautiful as Heyday. for this reason alone heyday is probably my favourite church cd but I love them all.

from the magnificent opening chords of myrrh to the closing notes of Roman this album is faultless. In fact side 1 of the vinyl release is perhaps the finest side of a record I have heard. The additions of As you will and the view to the Cd complement the other songs perfectly.

Its sixteen years since the release but it could be released today and it would not be out of place.

The cover is also my favourite album cover of all time and tantalized is without doubt the church's finest video and really matched the song very well.


This record really was a revelation to me and still is magic to my ears.
