Progressive Rock Reviews

Quarkspace
QUARKSPACE

Quarkspace are Darren Gough on Guitars, Chet Santia on Vox, Bass Guitars and Percussion, Jay Swanson on Keyboards and Paul Williams on Drums, Keyboards and Percussion and special guests Richard Fox on Guitar and Dave Wexler on Guitar.

The CD was produced by Quarkspace and was recorded at Eternity's Jest Studio except for  2 track's which were recorded live during a performance at Gambier, Ohio.
This CD is a mix of Space Rock, Psychedelic Rock and Progressive Rock.

The CD contains 14 tracks 'Dancing Swan', 'I Feel', 'I See The Water Wash Me Away', 'Youthful Breeze - Space', 'See the City', 'Stereotypes For breakfast', 'Oklahomo', 'She Was', 'World Through Your Eyes', 'Teton Range - Space', 'Air', 'On A Beach', 'Fade To Black', 'In my Lost Mind'.

The quality and production of this CD is superb throughout.

One listen to this CD reminds me of Gong, Hawkwind, Clearlight Symphony and Grateful Dead. And even though the tracks on this CD are more song orientated than the tapes that Quarkspace have now produced (Spacefolds I,II,III).

This CD contains dreamy vocals from Chet, atmospheric keyboards and some outstanding guitar work, the drumming is excellent and at times with an ethnic style to it. This is one of those   CD's  you liten to and you can get lost in it.

If you like Psychedelic Rock music then take a listen to Quarkspace. I'm sure you will not be dissapointed.
This CD is released by ETERNITY'S JEST RECORDS, 1487 W.FIFTH AVENUE, SUITE 212, COLUMBUS, OHIO.
