Some classic 1990s Christian rock songs. How I miss those days.
I had this realization too. Funny that I had to go to a completely different religion to understand why I loved Christian praise music so much, that it actually is a spiritual path.
Indeed. I missed the 90’s Christian praise music scene, but was there in the beginnings of the early 70’s Jesus freak days. By the 90’s I had moved on to world music and Bhakti. That’s when I first ran into Jai Uttal and Krishna Das stuff in record stores.
I also discovered DJ Cheb in the 90’s. This album of his came out in 2008. He went around India and Pakistan and recorded Bhakti and Sufi Qawalli artists and then re-mixed them. I heard him spin tunes live on a number of occasions.
He was an Algerian who started off DJing vinyl records in Paris nightclubs in the 60’s. He eventually got the equipment to do modern electronic DJing as the technology appeared.
@Bucket. “Smells like teen 90’s” 
By the way, Curt Cobain grew up on the Washington coast just west of here and attended the college here in Olympia where my wife teaches before moving to Seattle. He died in my sister-in-laws neighborhood. Sleater-Kinney, the 90’s girl band also started in Olympia before moving to Portland. Sleater-Kinney is the name of a street here in Olympia.
Amor vincit omnia
Yep . Good days.
Yeah Washington just exploded with new music in the 90s. Pearl Jam, Alice-in-Chains, Foo FIghters, and Soundgarden also got there start there during this time I believe. In the Christian scene, MxPx are also from the area.
And then late 90s early 00s you started getting bands like Deathcab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, The Postal Service, and Fleet Foxes from the area. Two decades of musical innovation from the state. I wonder if it was something in the water…
