This is the amazing third release from the worship band, Telecast. Quiet Revolution is an excellent collection of worship songs written by Josh White, the worship pastor at Solid Rock church in Portland, OR. Telecast's unique sound coupled with Josh's amazing voice make for a joyous and emotional connection with the Spirit through their music. From the upbeat "Beautiful Mystery" to the genuine, heart-felt "Infinite Worth", this disc is a must have for anyone that enjoys contemporary worship music with a purely biblical message. Thank you guys for doing what you do and may all the glory go to our King, Jesus Christ!

This CD is amazing! The songs just flow and lift you up on a pleasant and comforting ride. It's honest and beautiful and simply refreshing to hear. My favorite is the last song on the CD, Infinite Worth...finishes up with a glorious trumpet solo. I like to rewind sometimes and here it again. :)

Telecast really hooked me with their debut album and title song The Beauty of Simplicity as the Brit-pop sound blended perfectly with frontman Josh White's biblical vertical worship with other standout songs The Way and Release The Deep from the 2nd album Eternity Is Now. Fans of Coldplay, Leeland, Starfield and Phil Wickham should enjoy Telecast.

Quiet Revolution is the 3rd and most complete album by Telecast in my opinion. I was hooked right away by All Around Me and Come Down, the two most upbeat songs on this solid vertical worship album. The album then takes on a mellow feel as the title song indicates. For meditation on God's Word with biblical truth and catchy melodies I was not disappointed as nice soft songs can set a worshipful mood. The remaining standout songs for me are Beautiful Mystery regarding God's beauty in the unseen, Anchor of My Soul and The Message which is a great example of biblical truth based on 1 John 1:6-9.

Loved it and find this CD contagious; I just keep listening.

Admittedly, I've been hearing these songs at Solid Rock Church for the past many months, so I am biased, However, the songs translated to studio better than I'd have imagined. Much has been packed into this recording.

Anybody with any familiarity of Telecast knows who they are and what they sound like. If you're thinking they may have progressed in their technique or sound over the past few years, think again. While I enjoy throwing in Telecast from time to time when I'm looking for that just-right light worship to relax to, I won't find too much that will help in front of a large congregation.

With that being said, my hat is off to the band for staying true to themselves and continuing to write good (not great) music. Every track has something good to offer (something I can't say about most artists) but nothing that will knock your socks off.

If you're looking for some melodic worship to relax with, then this album will fit the bill nicely. If you're a worship leader looking for cutting-edge tunes for your congregation, you may need to look to the usual Passion, Hillsong, (and Steve Fee, Leeland, etc.) albums for inspiration.

Overall, I'd give the album a 7 out of 10 or 3.5 stars.
