5.0 out of 5 stars this cd rocks, May 30, 1999

although this cd is not long enough to be worth this much. It is a great cd. It has a song on it that is not on any other quicksand cd, and you'll probably never hear them play it live, but it rocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Noise for the 90's, April 3, 2000

Although the CD format was released in 1994, the original version on 7" vinyl came out in 1990. And let me tell you, this was truly a revolutionary recording, both for the label it was released on (Revelation Records) and for the audience it was marketed to (SxE Hardcore Scene). Quicksand set an entirely new precedent with this 7" and in the process changed our definition of how hardcore music could sound. With slow tempos, progressive rhythms, elaborate guitar solos, and melodic vocals, Walter and company constructed a style that was unlike anything else. And yet they managed to capture an intensity that equaled, if not surpassed, any of the traditional hardcore outfits of their day, which is precisely why my friends and I were so enamored with them. Quicksand proved that it was possible to play innovative, challenging music and still maintain the energy that made bands like Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuits so captivating.

It is to this day one of my favorite records, and in my humble opinion it is Quicksand's single best release.

Simply said, this band rocks! It has a more raw sound than Manic and Slip, but it is nevertheless it's the sound of the band you love. I'm sad to say that there are only 4 tracks. If you're a fan, pick it up!
