REVIEW FOR THE ALBUMS:
"Lifestyle from Above "Great to see Kingsway moving back into contemporary Christian music though those headbangers recognising the name and expecting some Jerusalem-style riffs (Ulf once fronted the pioneering Swedish heavy metalers) will be surprised by 'The Lifestyle From Above'. It's all very gentle pop-rock with a nice worshipful feel, hardly stunningly original, but good of its sort. " Entertainers & Soldiers " .I approached this 2003 album with a certain nervousness. The last album Ulf Christiansson cut with Jerusalem, 'Prophet', was, to my mind, one of the most powerful offerings of the whole Christian rock genre yet Ulf's last solo album, 'Mighty Wave' (a compilation of tracks from 'In My Dreams' and "Life Style From Above" plus bonus tracks), sounded to me both dated and slightly absurd with its pomp rock mannerisms. But now Sweden's veteran rocker makes a magnificent return to rock music relevancy with an edgy, bitingly astringent album of 13 powerful songs. Built on the age old theme of a life given over to utter abandonment to the lover of our souls the songs here resonate with passionate sincerity while the vortex of layered guitars Ulf builds up around these gutsy yet tender-hearted melodies is truly magnificent. A rocker who deserves to be "Up There" (wherever "there" is) with all the young turks who play "Cutting Edge Rock", This is an album which should be searched out both by Jersualem-grooving nostalgists and those who seek a prophet who (as he reminds us on his composition "Homeland") is unlikely to receive the recognition his towering talent deserves. " Mighty Wave " .Gathering together cuts from his 1981 and 1990 solo albums with five previously unreleased songs, ‘Mighty Wave’ is a sort of best of Ulf Christiansson, lead singer with Sweden’s first Christian rock group, the pioneering Jerusalem. In a country where rock and Satanism had gone hand in hand Jerusalem were at times banned and at other times lauded for their no-holds-barred apocalyptic rock. Those themes carry over in Ulf’s own work, with recurring messages of Christ’s inevitable victory and the coming judgment. Unfortunately the music itself has not aged well, and the big drum climaxes and keyboard intros are very dated, at times cringingly so. When he plugs in and rocks out on songs like “Thief In The Night”, which builds slowly and then erupts into a great call for repentance, Ulf is at his best. When the keyboards guide the way and the choir comes out, as on the title track, this is little more than forgettable ‘80s praise(http://www.holymetalrob.com)
