CD. Forefront s Mixdown presents CCM and alternative CCM hits in a dance-mix format. Even though the mix generally leans toward dance-pop and very basic trance hip-hop and house styles it still works surprisingly well especially on tracks like Audio Adrenaline s Big House Stacie Orrico s Ride Out of Eden s Different Now and dc Talk s Socially Acceptable. The collection almost loses its credibility with the cheesy untitled closing track which basically just serves as an advertisement for the album after the fact. Nevertheless Mixdown s reinterpretations of songs by Smokie Norful Switchfoot Rebecca St. James and Tobymac as club tracks are still pretty impressive. Overall the album should please CCM fans looking for a new twist on tracks from their favorite artists. ~ Heather Phares Rovi
