Quicksand videos
It's time to take a deep breath and plunge head first into the Quicksand now to The original album featured eight songs, with two moreīonus tracks added for the later CD re-issue. We've now unearthed that rare commodity for review here. The band were in existence just longĮnough to mine one album of precious ore, "Home is Where I Belong" (1973), during their brief shining moment at theĬoalface. Picks and shovels beneath the Welsh mining valleys just as quickly as they'd emerged.

QUICKSAND were an obscure and short-lived Prog-Folk quartet from South Wales. Mellotron on three tracks, with small string parts on "Sunlight Brings Shadows" and "Overcome The Pattern/Flying", with more strings and brass on "Seasons/Alpha Omega" no surprise that the 'Tron comes in on the longer, proggier tracks. The rest of the album veers between boring and vaguely adventurous, although QUICKSAND were never really going to be front-runners. "Hideaway My Song" is typically uninteresting mid-'70s 'rock', although "Sunlight Brings Shadows" ups the ante a little by bringing in a faint GENTLE GIANT influence, would you believe. OK, it doesn't they basically bordered prog without really immersing themselves wholeheartedly in the style, having much in common with other proto-prog outfits such as CRESSIDA or SPRING, although less interesting.

Hailing from South Wales, the cover pic makes them look like a rare form of hippy miner, which vaguely describes the music herein. The rear sleeve of their sole album, "Home Is Where I Belong", actually has a band bio, along with a bucolic view of a classic Welsh valley, complete with a sheep, although it obviously neglects to give any useful instrumental information. QUICKSAND are one of those bands about which little seems to be known while the band members' names are easily found, what they played is another matter, although it seems they had a fairly standard guitar/bass/keys/drums lineup.
