Post Description

UK outfit QUIET WORLD was a band project set up by brothers and composers Lea, Neil and John Heather; with a line-up including Steve Hackett (guitar), John Hackett (flute), Gill Gilbert (vocals), John Heather (guitar, vocals), Sean O'Mally (drums), Eddy Hines (flute, sax), Dick Driver (bass) and Phil Henderson (piano, trumpet, organ, recorder, vocals).

Their debut album "The Road" was issued in 1970; but with Steve Hackett joining Genesis shortly after this was to be the sole production of this band. 

If there was an album influenced by the MOODY BLUES "Day's Of Future Passed" then QUIET WORLD's "The Road" would take honours. However, let me be clear that this album is not a plastic replica nor does it come across as a rip off. In a similar fashion, "The Road" makes effective use of short narration and orchestration which is nicely juxtaposed with the 5 piece band. "The Road" features a very young Steve HACKETT on acoustic and electric guitars and for GENESIS fans is quite a collectible album to find. QUIET WORLD wrote some highly imaginative and memorable classic tunes here which are quite tasty. This is a wonderful concept album and sounds superb on a Sunday morning with your coffee and newspaper
