The Petra Zone

When you burn a live CD, in Nero, set it to "no gap" and then to overlap the tracks by a few frames. Works pretty well, actually.

I recently began a new job that requires more of a commute than I'm used to (about 45 minutes each way.) My iPod contains the complete Petra discography, as well as the complete Rez, and several others, plus a whole bunch of singles from various bands. Yesterday morning, I had the iPod on shuffle, a...

Found the complete CP set from Cornerstone posted on Youtube. (EDIT: after watching, I found it was not quite complete...the video cuts off during "It Is Finished"...the guy who put it together fades the audio and the video off though so it's not an abrupt stop.) Great show, other than "Adonai" bein...

It's funny how one person's "worst" songs can be another's favorites. For me, Godpleaser, in all its incarnations, is one that I LOVE. (I used the intro and part of the solo as the intro piece for some new MP3s I made from some sermons our church recorded in the '80s.)

Friends (All in the Family of God). total flow-kill. The rest of the album is stunning. Hollow Eyes. Suffers the worst from the '80s dated sound of the BTS album. Plus, it's just depressing. (Yes, I know why it was recorded. Doesn't make it any more tolerable.) Homeless Few is a MUCH better song for...

Top 5 (in no order): This Means War! Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out Jekyll and Hyde On Fire! Not of This World Bottom 5 (still in no order, but DT is the worst): Double Take God Fixation No Doubt Farewell (not for content, but for production...great content, HORRIBLE sound) that's actually about a...

The Pete Orta Song, one of my favorites. I like most songs of this album. How can someone say it´s not Petra? It was Petra who recorded these songs, it was Petra who re-arranged the songs. There is a PETRA-Album which I don´t like at all and that's "No doubt". I heard them live at the "No doubt-Tou...

I won't say physical media is completely a thing of the past, but the last several NEW albums I've bought have been downloaded. I buy CDs at shows sometimes if I want to get an autograph, or if they have some kind of special, but since most of my CDs get opened, ripped, and then stored, there's not ...

That makes sense; one studio master tape for all the tape releases. I've never seen a Petra 8-track (but if I do, you know I'll buy it).

Revival, while the weakest of the Petra Praise albums, was still miles ahead of some of the other worship albums that flooded shelves around the same time. "Jesus, Friend of Sinners" and "The Noise We Make" both still get played quite a bit around here. I think maybe I could have enjoyed DT if it wa...

agreed. I have tried to like it. I can't do it.

I like every other album in the discography, even the weak ones (No Doubt and God Fixation spring to mind), but I just can't get into DT.

YMMV of course.

Thanks, guys...I'll keep an eye (and ear) out for it. Maybe next time I'm in Branson, MO. (For those of you outside the US, Branson is billed as the "Country Music Show Capital of the World"; in a lot of ways, it's like a family-friendly version of Vegas. There are a LOT of different music shows the...

thanks, p-freak, but that one skips too, and sounds like it's in the same places. Not the exact same download, as they're EQ'ed differently, but probably the same source material. Unfortunately, some of the skips are in places that don't repeat, so even though I'm pretty handy with an audio editor, ...

I guess I ought to put together my own track list for the disc. We had the Myrrh cassette (pretty close to an original release, looks like), and it starts with Wake Up, and has Parting Thought at the end of side 1. But I recently saw a cover scan with a Myrrh logo on it that started with Walkin' in ...

Well if what Brent has said in the past is true, than their are no christians on TBN anyway so why not have Glenn on TBN? Ouch...that's a pretty broad brush there. I admit, I'm a Charismatic/WOFer. I am a Christian. Christ is the only way to heaven. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a fool. I...
