THE REVIEW
Quatermass: we're in the '70s, and progressive is in its era of splendor. This is one of the bands that unfortunately disappeared, but their album remains in history and is always visible, but most importantly, listenable... It's a brilliantly conceived work, edgy yet reflective... The uniqueness of the band is the trio formation, typical of progressive, composed of bass, keyboards, and drums; already, the guitar is missing. I understand that for those not deeply familiar with progressive, the absence of the guitar is something unpredictable, but ask Van Der Graaf Generator how essential the guitar is for them... My advice is to listen to it, and you'll be pleasantly satisfied with your purchase...
P.S. Be careful not to purchase "Quatermass II," a posthumous project without pretensions...

Summary by Bot
Quatermass's 1970s debut album stands as a timeless piece in progressive rock history. The band's unique trio setup without a guitar sets them apart. The album is described as both edgy and reflective, recommended especially for progressive rock enthusiasts. Caution is advised to avoid the less acclaimed posthumous Quatermass II.Tracklist Videos

Quatermass manage to offer original music adorned with excellent arrangements.
Place 'Post War Saturday Echo' on the player’s turntable and let it spin… and you’ll have achieved the goal and feel freer inside.

A metaphor for the music contained in the album: ancient yet at the same time projected into the modern.
Finding [albums like this] by chance and rediscovering them is always a wonderful emotion.
