Was openly embraced by the Contemporary Christian Music industry in the
USA for his Christian-themed music. Many of his recordings were openly
sold in Christian bookstores in the USA. This relationship soured with
the release of his album "World of Wonders". It featured songs highly
critical of US involvement in Latin American governmental affairs
(especially the song "Call It Democracy", which included the "F-word"
and lyrics accusing global corporate interests and the International
Monetary Fund with creating poverty with unsupportable debt). In
responce to the backlash he received in the US Christian media
(including Christian record distributors refusing to carry his
recordings), he wrote the song "Gospel of Bondage". He now includes
more politically-themed music in his albums.
