Mainstream > Quiet Sun

Artist: Quiet Sun
Label: Antilles
Catalog#: AN-7008
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1975-08
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Quiet Sun's sole album was recorded while Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera was recording his debut solo record, Diamond Head. That album included an incredible roster of musicians (and the classic track "Miss Shapiro"), but it also sought to cover the same pop territory as Roxy Music, and most certainly succeeded. Mainstream, then, was the progressive "studio twin." Manzanera returned to keyboardist Dave Jarrett, as well as Bill MacCormick and Charles Hayward: the former an ex-Matching Mole bassist, and the latter the future This Heat drummer.

Released: 1975-09
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
To record the band's eighth album, Ian Anderson assembled the crew in Monte Carlo with their new mobile studio: no grand compositional aspirations this time, but perhaps a little holiday fun. What came out was an album of contrasts and one of Jethro Tull's most dynamic records—polarized between the acoustic of the minstrel and the electric of the band. The title track kicks off quietly with Anderson literally in character; but soon the band lets loose, propelled by Barriemore Barlow's kick drum and one helluva riff from Martin Barre's guitar.
