For some people it seems confusing, but there is actually a difference between Hillsong Music Australia, Hillsong, Hillsong Live, Hillsong Chapel, Hillsong United. Some of these early albums when reissued are also tagged by the recordcompany as "Hillsong Music Australia ft. Darlene Zschech" or "Various Artists". Maybe it is up to the listener how to tag this, although scrobbling from itunes also gives various results.
Hillsong's music has become well-known internationally amongst Christian groups. Songs such as "Power of Your Love" by Geoff Bullock and "Shout to the Lord" by Darlene Zschech have become popular and are sung throughout churches world-wide. Hillsong have released over 40 albums since 1992, many of them achieving gold status in Australia. Although the music is not well known amongst the mainstream, their 2004 live praise and worship album For All You've Done reached #1 in the mainstream Australian album charts (ARIA) when many copies were sold during Hillsong's annual conference.
Hillsong is one of the strongest influential factors on Christian pop culture and Christian pop music. Hillsong United, in particular influences Christian youth of today. Marty Sampson, Joel Houston and Jonathon Douglass are considered the Brad Pitt of Christian pop culture, with their always-changing hair styles featured on the annual Hillsong United album DVD.

I think you have misunderstood what is happening.
Music is merely a tool to worship God.
The Holy Spirit does not change. The same presence is there in their newer songs.
Just because they changed the type of music they play does not mean that the Holy Spirit's presence has changed.
I understand that people have various tastes in music. And just because they don't play the kind of music I like does not mean that the presence of God is absent in those songs.
Maybe you just prefer the type of music they played back then.
But honestly, you can just easily worship with their newer songs as you can with their older songs because the Spirit that inspired them to write these songs never changed.
Be blessed!

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

Marty Sampson... The songs you wrote and/or led blessed me in my undergrad days. I am going through them one after the other. I am grateful you were a channel of blessing.
I pray, so earnestly, for your restoration in Jesus name.
