Formed in Lancashire in 1969 around the nucleus of three brothers, John, Lea and Neil Heather, Quiet World was a studio recording project perhaps best known for being the first album to feature future GENESIS guitarist STEVE HACKETT (and with a guest appearance from Steve's brother, John). Signed to Pye Records' progressive imprint, Dawn, the band's sole album was The Road, issued in August 1970. An impressive concept album, Quiet World's sole LP is now a hugely in demand collector's item. Shortly thereafter, Steve Hackett left to join the progressive rock group Genesis as lead guitarist.

Concept albums are risky. Done right, they can become a classic work of art; The Who’s Tommy, The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Pink Floyd’s The Wall, and Neutral Milk Hotel’s In The Aeroplane Under The Sea are concepts that will be lauded for decades to come. However, if done wrong, they can be seen as pretentious, self-indulgent, and can be the ruin of a band; nobody’s making a case for the greatness of the KISS album Music From “The Elder,” Styx’s Kilroy Was Here, or Pink Floyd’s Animals. (Of course, who hasn’t laughed at the most hilarious example of conceptual album pomposity, Spinal Tap’s Jack the Ripper opera, featuring the song, “Saucy Jack?”)
British progressive folk group Quiet World’s sole album was a conceptual record, and though not a masterpiece, it isn’t nearly as bad as those dreadful records. Formed in 1969 by two sets of brothers; John and Steve Hackett and John, Lea and Neil Heather, and augmented by over a half dozen other members (encompassing strings, percussion and brass), they quickly composed the seventeen-track concept The Road, an album in part about the life of Jesus Christ, with a subplot dealing with living through and dealing with the turmoil and tumult of 1968.

The Road is well-produced; listening to the album on headphones, one can really fully experience the lush, colorful arrangements. Several songs are superb, too; “Children Of The World” is an upbeat number that transcends the concept, offering a message of peace and love and unity, while “First Light” blends slow balladry and rock groove together quite nicely; the tempo changes along with the song’s harmonies makes for a lovely listen. Yet most of the songs are inexorably linked to each other, and the concept gets a bit heavy, making piecemeal listening confusing. It doesn’t help that there are a few spoken word passages that occasionally are giggle-inducing in their overt earnestness. The Road is a beautiful sounding record, but it’s not a record that can be appreciated in half-measures; it must be taken as a whole, and while it has its merits, creatively, it has winsome moments and generally doesn’t inspire multiple listens. It’s not surprising, then, that the record came and went quickly, and the group soon parted ways.
