HAVE YOU NOT HEARD? AND HERE TILL THE END - NEWS AT ELEVEN -
NEWS AT ELEVEN IS A CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC GROUP.
THEY FIRST STARTED WORKING TOGETHER WHEN THEY WERE ALL
STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THEY
WERE LEADERS IN THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP AND CONTEMPORARY
CHRISTIAN MUSIC MINISTRY AT THE USC CATHOLIC CENTER. THEY
WERE THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP BAND AND CONTEMPORARY CHOIR
AT THE USC CATHOLIC CENTER 11:00 AM MASS. HENCE THE NAME,
NEWS AT ELEVEN. "NEWS" STANDS FOR THE GOOD NEWS OF THE
GOSPEL OF JESUS. "ELEVEN" REFERS TO THE 11:OO AM USC MASS,
WHERE THEY LED THE MUSIC MINISTRY. AT THE MASS THEY USED
BOTH THEIR OWN ORIGINAL SONGS, AND THEIR OWN
ARRANGEMENTS OF CONTEMPORARY CATHOLIC HYMNS. THEIR FIRST
RELEASE, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD? WAS RECORDED IN 1999, AND
MIXED, MASTERED, AND RELEASED IN EARLY 2000. HAVE YOU NOT
HEARD?, THE TITLE COMES FROM CHAPTERS 40-50 OF ISAIAH, THE
RELEASE CONTAINS BOTH THEIR ORIGINAL SONGS, AND THEIR
FAVORITE SONGS FROM THE 11:00 AM MASS. ORIGINAL MUSIC
INCLUDES THE MATT MacPHAIL SONGS I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, WE
THE CHURCH, AND PRAISE TO YOU. THE NEWS AT ELEVEN VERSIONS OF
SOME OF THE WELL KNOWN CONTEMPORARY CATHOLIC "STANDARDS"
INCLUDE EAT THIS BREAD, PESCADOR DE HOMBRES (LORD, YOU HAVE
COME), AND RELIGIOUS SISTER OF MERCY, SISTER SUZANNE
TOOLAN'S I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. THE VOCALS, ESPECIALLY THE
HARMONIES ON THIS RELEASE ARE INCREDIBLE. THERE IS A
CREATIVE WEAVING IN AND OUT BETWEEN THE LEAD VOCALS AND
THE BACKGROUND VOCALS THAT IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL IN
CONTEMPORARY MUSIC. IT IS A VOCAL APPROACH THAT IS
UNPREDICTABLE, AND REFRESHING TO HEAR. ALSO THE
INSTRUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTAL MELODY LINES ARE WELL
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED. THE HORNS, FLUTES, CELLO, CONGAS AND
PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS, ARE INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE NOT
ALWAYS HEARD IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC. THEY SERVE TO MAKE
HAVE YOU NOT HEARD? A UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE RELEASE. THIS
RELEASE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, BUT IT IS TWICE
RECOMMENDED FOR A CAPPELLA SINGERS AND CONTEMPORARY
CHOIRS. IT IS ONE OF THE FINEST RECORDINGS YOU WILL HEAR BY
A CONTEMPORARY CHOIR. EVERYONE WHO LISTENS TO HAVE YOU NOT
HEARD? WILL BOTH ENJOY IT, AND LEARN MORE ABOUT
CONTEMPORARY CATHOLIC/CHRISTIAN MUSIC FROM IT. NEWS AT
ELEVEN'S SECOND RELEASE, HERE TILL THE END, WENT INTO
PRODUCTION IN 2003 AND WAS RELEASED IN 2007. HERE TILL THE
END CONTAINS ALL ORIGINAL SONGS WRITTEN BY MATT MacPHAIL,
ANN LYLES MacPHAIL, ZACH LANEY, AND KURT HANNA. HERE TILL THE
END CONTINUES THE GROUP'S GROWTH AS SONGWRITERS,
PRODUCERS, AND ARTISTS. THE RELEASE HAS STRONG MELODIES,
LYRICS, VOCAL HARMONIES, AND INSTRUMENTAL MELODY LINES.
THE ELECTRIC GUITAR AND THE LEAD GUITAR MELODY LINES ARE
EXCELLENT, AND REALLY ADD TO THE STRENGTH OF THE
PRODUCTION. IT IS A VERY STRONG CONTEMPORARY
CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC RELEASE. THE STAND OUT SONGS INCLUDE
ALLELUIA (RAISE YOUR VOICE), FOR THE LORD'S SAKE, WE ARE YOUR
PEOPLE, JOIN THE FEAST, AND EYES OF FAITH. IT SHOWS BOTH
PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE THAT NEWS AT ELEVEN STAYED WITH
THE PROJECT FOR FOUR YEARS UNTIL IT'S RELEASE. WHAT MAKES
NEWS AT ELEVEN'S STORY EVEN MORE ADMIRABLE IS THAT BY 2003,
THE GROUP'S MEMBERS HAD ALL GRADUATED FROM USC, AND GONE
THEIR SEPARATE WAYS AS THEY BUILT THEIR LIVES AFTER SCHOOL.
IT IS A RARE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT THAT THE MEMBERS OF NEWS
AT ELEVEN SHOWED, IN STAYING TOGETHER TO MAKE HERE TILL THE
END. NEWS AT ELEVEN CAN BE HEARD ON THESE INTERNET RADIO
SITES, SACRED HEART RADIO, CATHOLIC JUKEBOX, CATHOLIC MUSIC
NETWORK, YAHOO MUSIC, INDIE HEAVEN, AND KAZ radio. BOTH ALBUMS
CAN BE PURCHASED AT AMAZON. PLEASE VISIT THE NEWS AT ELEVEN
