Discography
Captured Again (2004)
CD REVIEW FROM ALPHA OMEGA NEWS
www.alphaomeganews.ca

Like the title suggests Captured Again is worship that will pull you away from worldly distractions. Dan Macaulay, an independent worship leader, has a captivating and soothing voice that is equally matched with his writing abilities. His lyrical gifts follow in the path of prolific modern worship writers Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman.

Released in October of 2004, Captured Again is a collection of songs written over a period of time dating all the way back to 1996 ("Amazing"), but mostly from 2002 - 2004. All but one song on the album is an original, and the one cover song is "Wonderful Maker", which was written and recorded by both Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin. The choice of such a simple song (meaning not one of the mega-worship hits that most others cover) is a reflection of the integrity of the album.

Captured Again is a refreshingly authentic worship album, and Macauly's calming voice instills quietness upon a busy mind. It is as Macaulay describes - "letting Christ capture our attention again." There is a certain quality in this recording that just draws you out of the hectic and into the peaceful.

The CD also includes an enhanced interactive section with bonus tracks and chord charts in various keys. Many of the resources found on the enhanced portion of the CD can also be found Macaulay's website at http://www.danmacaulay.com You can go right to the website and listen to the songs on Captured Again, and at the same time pick up a copy for yourself. If you're longing for some quiet-time worship you will not find a more fitting and fresh CD as Captured Again.

DAN MACAULAY

For over a decade, Dan Macaulay has been leading worship experiences across Canada and the United States. His original songs are making their way across the globe - through worship leaders who have been moved by his music and add it to their play lists as well as being recorded by other artists equally impressed with Dan's honest and singable worship style. Every week in live meetings, through Christian radio, and by word of mouth, more and more people are taking notice of this emerging modern worship leader. When you hear Dan you'll know why.

Dan's transparency comes through on every track. Listening to the CD, you'll think you've interrupted a passionate and personal moment between Dan and God - but you are not interrupting, you're invited. You are drawn in and made welcome by the simple melodies, pop hooks and fresh lyrics. You are disarmed because he finds a way to express what you've always wanted to say to God but haven't quite been able to put into words and you will find yourself empowered to worship honestly, openly and passionately before God. If you stop to take a look around you at one of Dan's live shows, you'll find you're not alone!

This first full worship CD is something many would say is long overdue. Dan's four years of Bible College and four years as a full time youth and worship pastor has brought experience and depth to his music. As you listen you'll be glad he waited. The intensity and honesty of his songs will resonate with you and pull you closer to God. You'll be handed just the right words to communicate how you feel and compelled to sing along. You'll be released, convicted, uplifted and moved. But be careful! His music is infectious. When you're done listening, chances are you'll walk away humming one of the tunes for days to come.
