QUATERMASS is a must-have for prog rock enthusiasts, especially lovers of the keyboard-dominated style which flourished in the early '70s.
Although there are only three members of the band, their histories are just as colorful as the music they produced.
Keyboard player PETER ROBINSON and Bassist JOHN GUSTAFSON met drummer MICK UNDERWOOD while in the band EPISODE SIX, which included IAN GILLAN & ROGER GLOVER who were later in DEEP PURPLE.
UNDERWOOD was also involved with the OUTLAWS as well as THE HERD, only a few years before PETER FRAMPTON arrived.
When the band finally formed QUATERMASS in 1970, they had set their sights on a power rock format which would use ROBINSON's keyboards to shape their sound.
Both "Black Sheep Of The Family" and "One Blind Mice" were released as singles which fell mostly on deaf ears, but the band's sound was equally as moving as THE NICE's repertoire, at around the same time.
QUATERMASS' sound is far from sounding hollow, isolated, or directionless, but all of the cuts are rather rock-sturdy and instrumentally voluptuous from all points.
The string work that swoops in is encompassing, UNDERWOOD's drumming exhibits personality, and the keyboard portions are remarkably striking and distinct.
Even GUSTAFSON's robust vocals work well within the music's structure, subsiding and ascending when called for, and all of the cuts result in worthy examples of well-built progressive rock.
Following this album, the band broke up, with GUSTAFSON joining HARD STUFF, while ROBINSON found new life within the jazz-prog band BRAND-X. ~ Mike DeGagne(CDUniverse.com)
