Vini's music in this collection is thematically 60's folk, Dylanesque. Although 'The Invitation' could be considered Acoustic Alternative and 'Christ Crucified' is Americana Mariachi with a righteous message and Beatles-like background vocals, songs like 'His Truth', 'Give It All To Christ', & 'Let Him In' as well as other cuts, are true to the Folk tradition. Bottom Line: God be Glorified!!

'Kingdom Of Conscience' (2007)
This is an Acoustic Guitar Driven, Contemporary Christian CD. The tone is 'coffee-house'. Originally we set out to do guitar & vocals with an occasional bass but it was suggested that a rhythm section be added and all agreed in the end that it was a good idea. It kicked up the overall feel of the CD without taking anything away from the intimacy of the songs. All originals: 'The Invitation' was co-written with Isaiah the Prophet, Ch 55 and 'Dereks Lament' was written with Derek Moran. These two cuts showcase the rhythm section as well as 'Christ Crucified' which practically jumps out of the speakers with the 'Ring of Fire' trumpets leading the charge . . (thanks, Johnny). Almost two years in the making, 'Kingdom Of Conscience' features Brad Cummings on Bass and Frank Reina on Drums. Vini is doing the Guitar, Vocals, Harmonica thing and we have Willie Murillo playing Trumpets on 'Christ Crucified.' Willie is Brian Setzer's (Orchestra) music director. Frank tours regularly with Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night fame and Brad is one of the best Bass players in the world. Six cuts feature the full rhythm section, Vini does two cuts with Brad and one by himself. If you don't like the music, you have to be impressed with the recording. Vini's tracks were recorded by Michael Gayle at Glynn Sounds, the rhythm section was recorded in Franks Room and the trumpets in Willie's Garage. Michael, Frank and Willie did bang-up jobs in their perspective corners with the final mixing and mastering crisply engineered by Michael at Glynn Sounds. I'll claim responsibility for the sparing production. We took the 'less is more' road and walked it faithfully. This is a great CD, well written and played. All to God's Glory!! . . . . . .
