Gothic / Alternative Rock\\
England, United Kingdom

Crossrhythms review by Tony Cummings: "In 1991 this album, originally released on a humble cassette, was a hugely impressive demonstration that a Christian band could handle the scything guitar patterns, high pitched bass lines and hypnotically dirge-like vocals of goth rock. For those in the Church longing for the sound of the Sisters Of Mercy and Fields of the Nephilim, Darren "Daz" Smith from Swindon, Danny Jewson from Cornwall and Matthew James from Aldershot were a revelation. Despite having only four days in the studio and working with a producer (Brooke Trickett) who normally worked on low budget MOR worship albums, //Innocence// was a credible stab at creating the dark, intense textures of goth. In many ways a pioneering release which Florida's [[Key Records]] have now rescued from obscurity. Those interested in Christian rock history should investigate."
