    Classic hymns, performed in a manner which prevents congregational participation!
    Ancient chants, sung in a way that -- well, it inspires me to want to go forth and teach people how to sing ancient chants!
    New compositions that -- well, they're devotional, not liturgical.

    Actually, I've heard worse pop-singer hymn recordings: the singers on Beth Nielsen Chapman's "Hymns" album needed Latin pronunciation lessons.

    The worst part of it is now young church musicians will expect to do it that way at mass and adoration.

    OK, let's give 'em credit for knowing that chant is good, and for doing what they're doing with obvious good faith and devotion. They just need to learn more from good example and instruction, especially about the distinctions between liturgical and non-liturgical religious music.

    Actually...I know one of the nuns...who was organist for a TLM group, which explains the chant.

    Silly sounding. But I'm reminded of the Lutheran rock band Lost and Found. They did a very popular CD of punk-rock versions of traditional hymns. Despite all their rock songs and their popularity among contemporary church-goers, the band members are rather devout traditionalists. The hymn CD wasn't to promote punk music, but rather to bring to the attention of younger audiences the classic hymnody. Though few heed their request, they constantly insist that their music is for entertainment and devotion, and that churches should make use of traditional hymnody and liturgy in public worship.

    So maybe it's something like that, and the person making the CD just wants to bring to the attention of Catholics the songs that they SHOULD know.

    Another story about the band, which I heard from a fan: They performed a concert at a parish, and the pastor took them to the church and showed them the new projector screens, enthusiastically telling them how he can prepare a powerpoint with graphics and the words of any song he wants. One of the band members said something like, "that's very impressive, but the church I grew up in had something even better! We looked through 2000 years of tradition for the best hymns, put them in a beautiful book with the words AND music, and bought so many copies that we could have them in the pews for every single person!"
