As was the advent of New Age music emerging from the late 70's into the 80's so was the emergence of new technology. Quiet Force almost exclusively was using Roland. The opening track features a symmetry between the guitars and synth lines, while the non-verbal vocals hit the mark in terms of being in key. As was other artists from the Innovative Communications label the attempt was at least to bridge the gap between the ever improving technology and the boundary of what is written music. With tracks like Flying High and High Noon, they show what would be progressive composition...that is the music gets grander with each repetitive line (chorus). This is well done and well composed.
