*gasps* You're serious? I mean, I know it's each to their own, but this is one of the finest worship-based records in history, imo.
"The Song of the Harlot" is worth the purchase price, imo. Or, at least, it would have been back when it was available.

The first two are the only ones with the same lineups. The band members were all Vineyard people (three bros. named Sean, Scott, and
Lonnie Tubbs, if I remember right). The self-titled featured a new guitarist named Jeff Schroeder and Andy Prickett from the Prayer
Chain also on guitar, with Jason Pickersgill on bass (he's designed a whole ton of stuff in the Christian alt realm - the Chain's
_Mercury_, the first three Starflyer CDs, Stavesacre, the newest Honey CD) and I'm not sure who on drums. The last CD is Michael
Pritzl on a whole lot of stuff with Herb Grimaud of Raspberry Jam on bass, Michael Kalmar on drums and Robbie Farr on guitar. And I
wasn't very impressed with the last CD. It's got drum loops and stuff, which normally I like, but the sound is just kind of fake. it
was just a really big letdown after the self-titled CD (which is totally gorgeous if you can find it). HTH
