I wasn\'t sure what ACROD music sounded like, so I searched and found this:

The second video you linked is the Paschal hymn, minus the tenor and bass. Perhaps that\'s why it sounds a little \\"lacking\\".
There are links to OCA tones here:

Our parish here in NY, as small as the choir is, does a fairly good run of different styles as far as we are able. Our choir director is really good at finding stuff that we can \'pull off\' and she avoids the things that our tiny choir just cannot do.
We recently returned from visiting the Monastery of St John of Shanghai - in Manton CA - where most of the hymns sung there are original compositions of Fr Martin.
[url=http://my.orthodoxcircle.com/profilefamily.php?id=OC/FrMartin&familyname=OC]Fr Martin[/url] \'s profile will open to a recording of his composition of \\"O Joyous Light\\" - give it a whirl.
