X-ian hippie rock with equal mix of hard guitar and moody acoustic numbers. Although they're from the opposite end of the country, New Jersey's Maranatha has that same longhaired homegrown west-coast guitar psych sound as Spokane's Wilson McKinley. In fact, I might go so far as to say that Soon is on equal footing with the classic "Spirit of Elijah" - it's that good. Guitarist Charlie Rizzo would later emerge with the more Southern-edged Emmaus Road Band, but here the style seems much more garage angled and hippie jamming. ... An insanely rare private press and easily one of the top US Christian monsters.

"Maranatha (Lord come quickly) is composed of seven men who had been entangled in a search for meaning to life; a search for reason.  This odyssey touched paths of mysticism; led us through the sub-culture of drugs; included radical politics.  The pilgrimage has ended.  We have received new life."
