01. Quicksand - Quicksand, 1990 CD EP      Revelation Records - Revelation 18 02. Quicksand - Slip, 1993 CD Album      Polydor - 517 685-2 03. Quicksand - Manic Compression, 1995 CD Album      Island Records - 526 564-2 04. Quicksand - Demos 1998, 1998      mp3 From the NYHC scene percolated several world-class gems like Into Another, Life Of Agony and Quicksand : heavy, catchy, groovy, zer. Then the NYHC is forgiven for Bold. While most were metalizing their sound, Quicksand recycled Gorilla Biscuit personnel into a superb Fugazi-inspired rock machine that is sticky, greasy and warm. They should have been much bigger, but what do I know, the universe is cruel. Or stupid. Slip is contemporary to Metallica's nadir, there was room for good stuff. The unreleased 1998 recordings are mp3s borrowed from I Hate The 90s (thanks, killer blog). This material is less exciting than the previous releases, but still worth the time. Now do not bypass the magnificence of the first three and rock until you drop! Remove brackets and unzip: [le courrier du] !ZER Quicksand ZER!
