I've listened a few times. I'd enjoy it more if there was an AM or FM station that 'regular' folks could listen to. -lyle thanks for KZION. I’ve listened a few times.

I don't have much to say in follow up except for this: What I'm most interested in is LDS art (literature, music, film) that is heavily informed by the Mormon experience, but isn't necessarily "inspirational" (in the narrow sense of the term -- i.e. music with an overt message). That is, there are LDS artists whose Mormon-ness doesn't really come out in or impact their work in any strong way. That's cool -- I can see reasons for that. And there are LDS artists who see it as their main task to inspire LDS to live good lives by creating didactic works. That's also cool -- I'm open to didactic art. But what's super cool is when LDS artists are able to infuse their work with "Mormon-ness" and truly reflect the Mormon experience (whether that be through actually dealing with Mormon characters/narratives or the less-direct method of Mormon themes and worldviews) while at the same time nuancing their work so that it's not wholly didactic.

My fellow EnZign bandmates and I are working very hard to get our positive, uplifting, motivational rock music out there. We plan to go into the studio soon to record the second EnZign album, which is gonna really rock compared to the first EnZign release! For now I'll be posting updates from time to time on my website.

Why is it that in the church it's OK for stake youth leaders to dredge through the sludge that the world has to offer in search of a few songs that aren't as lurid as the rest so they can host a dance for our youth, but when someone makes a dance track that's LDS, it's somehow "blasphemous"? I just don't get it... It's like the biggest block to a wide variety of good mormon music is mormons! We have met the enemy and he is us! :-) One more thing!

Oh, AMEN! For many years I've longed for good, real rock by LDS artists. There are some lights now peeking through the clouds, like the Singles Ward and RM soundtracks, Beyond Braille, and others.

Since Mormons are really Christians, does this mean LDS music is really part of Jesus rock (which is getting better and more popular)? (Jesus rock is my term for Christian radio music, maybe there's a different term that radio types use.) Nice post–I’ll have to tune it in sometime.
