The Death Of Quickspace is the third and final album released by Quickspace.[9] It was released in 2000.[10]

Production[]

The album was written in the studio, and recorded live.[11] It was produced by frontman Tom Cullinan.

Critical reception[]

NME wrote that "it seems Tom Cullinan‘s Krautrock disciples have hit upon a motorik El Dorado – a place where tedium is transcended by zealous determination, and glacial repetition becomes a thing of hushed and haunted beauty."[4] Ox-Fanzine deemed the album "a really good record with a pop character here, occasionally spiced up with sawing guitars."[12] Billboard wrote: "A bizarre semi-song cycle of fuzzed-out guitars and warbling strings that loops back on itself on multiple occasions, The Death Of Quickspace is anything but easily digestible."[2] The Sunday Times called the album "weird but wonderful," writing that "the smothering bass and protracted noodlings give way to something more fractured, culminating in the ceilidh-in-a-Munich- bierkeller brutality of the gloriously brusque closer, '4'."[1]
