Ruscha

When I first heard Come Alive from a friend of mine in 1994, I was blown away. I wanted a copy, and couldn't find one, so I made a blank tape of the whole album, which got lost a few years later. When I discovered a Christian book/music store in town, I tried to get them to order it for me, only to find out it was out of print.

In 2006, with the help of another friend, I got an original Pantrax Records copy on CD with the original liner notes and everything.

So....who here is a fan of the band's music? For me, I really loved the title track, The Word Stands Forever, and Burning Bridges.

On a side note, I heard Peter Pankrat'z testimony on Youtube from back in 1987, and it was something. Check it out if you have about 45 minutes to spare.

I remember liking this, but I must be honest that not much stands out in my memory about it. I have MP3s of this, but it just isn't something memorable for me. I far preferred the Legend and Legend Seven stuff.

I actually met those guys a few times. My wife is a huge fan and I have not been able to find a copy of that CD would it be possible to get a copy from you?? The only thing I currently have is an old cassette tape that I recorded to a mini Disk so I would have a digital copy that won't wear out.

I saw them in concert at a local Christian college way back in '88 or '89.....not a very good live band.

He has a copy in his shop, and I can vouch for him. His service is excellent, and he always makes sure to communicate with you.

Yes! Use Brent! i've done several trades with him and he's just the coolest guy.

I like the CD. I always thought it sounds like Petra if Andy Denton was the lead singer. I haven't listened to it awhile so may have to go back and revisit it. Me getting it was just an absolute surprise. I frequent the store Half Price Store and they have a lot of cd's for like $2. So I'm looking thru their $2 cd's one day and what should I happen to find....yep. Needless to say I bought it and I had never heard any of the songs but knew of them.

Come Alive wasn't the only album Ruscha did.

Before they were Ruscha, they were "The Russians" - (melodic 80s pop/rock)

I love this cd. I was saved in 88 and when I found this cassette I wore it out. It really did minister to me. I remeber seeing them on a monthly show that came out with blaine bartel called Fire By Nite!! I have always wanted to get it on cd. I have a copy a friend made but not an original.

Awesome Band!!

I saw them at a youth convention in Feb. 89 (then saw Amy Grant/Gary Chapman/MWS that evening). I liked the music, the concert was kind of blah though.

There is also the testimony of some of the members, or perhaps Andy Denton only. I don't remember. I just remember that when I heard it I was blown away about the depth of their faith when faced with intense oppression. I have it on CD, or I had it, I will have to see if I still have that and give it another listen.

For their testimony, check out the following link:
