Another pair of Davies brothers, but a very different kind of approach. Hailing from Wales,
Quicksand played very melodius, guitar-based progressive rock, which is better than many of the sought-after rarities in this field. Though nothing on this record may reach out for the sky, the tight playing, excellent vocals and above all else the exquisite melodies, makes this a worthwhile companion to all the £300+ discs in your collection. Nothing stands really out, but then again, nothing is less than good. Recommended.
