And, the part that shifts to majors Chord and the repeated theme shine. And, unexpected effective development of 13/16 rhythms and 11/12 rhythms will call impression.

The guitar that there are exhilaration one feels in a steady rhythm of eight rhythms twines round "The Winner". And, the chorus who completely has harmony twines round the rhythm of 7/8 and 9/8. Exhilaration one feels for the keyboard and the melody of the song might have originality. The progress of Chord is calculated well.

The guitar and the keyboard with expression of feelings are taken an active part to "Friends Of America". Perhaps, the sound of the drum is processed by all programs. Part of rhythm and melody that develops one after another. The tune freely manipulates intermittently the rhythm and the tempo while repeating eight rhythms and six rhythms.

"Union Jack" starts from the song processed by the effect. Part of song in close relation to piano and keyboard that plays grand melody. The melody in close relation to 16 steady notes might be splendid. The element of Yes and ELP might be included as atmosphere. The flow of the rhythm that develops one after another puts out good atmosphere. Development advanced as the rhythm of the odd number is multiused also has the tension.
