This above average Christian release is quite an unknown artefact of the Australian Christian scene, released on a small (private?) Adelaide-based label in 1981, Chi-Ro records. The band seems to have hailed from Toowoomba, Queensland and were made up of members from the Lutheran Church. In terms of music, the album is one of the best of the Aussie scene and can be overall described as folk-pop full of baroque chord progressions, heavenly layers of beautiful female hymn-like lead and backing vocals (that recall Mellow Candle or Tudor Lodge at times), gentle acoustic guitars and pianos, extensive flute melodies, and songwriting that is excellently written and has the ability of sustaining the interest of the listener throughout the album.
In fact, some of the tracks are quite progressive in nature featuring progressive song structures in a progressive pop-folk vein, best exemplified on the track 'The Eagle Song' with its slow-building introduction full of string synthesizer chords and wind effects, and dual flute and moog lines. The absolute stand-out, amongst many great tracks on the album, is the unbelievably haunting 'I Can Know' which comprises of lonesome and eerie female vocals, peaceful flute and a modulating jazz-influenced chord progression played on the electric piano -- truly beautiful stuff that will appeal to psych-folk fans. Moreover, across the album, the Christian messages and themes are not always apparent to the listener; in turn the album does not have the 'preachy' and coercive lyrical content that can dominate many Christian albums and which can make the album intolerable for non-Christian music fans. Although there are one or two generic soft-rock Christian tracks, the album in its entirety has enough quality songs to make it an album to look out for. All songs involve female vocals which will appeal to those who are ardent collectors of female-led folk albums.
