Bridges of Kukuriku (2010)
Space Rock band that is most often compared to Ozric Tentacles. And for a reason, as Quantum Fantay features a similar blend of spaced out synths, flutes, driving basslines and rhythms. But then, Quantum Fantay, if anything, is even more intense than the Ozrics. They also have their own individual sound, based on their obvious Space Rock influences of course. Some of their tracks are completely or almost completely electronic and have been compared to Jarre and Vangelis, among others. Quantum Fantay consists of Pieter Van den Broeck (synths), Wouter De Geest (bass), Gino Bartolini (drums) and Charles Sla (flutes, groovebox).

Space Rock band formed as "Quark!" in 1984 in Columbis, Ohio. Jay Swanson, Kevin Wherry and Darren Gough made up the initial lineup of the band. Later Chet Santia and Paul Williams joined and the band switched from cover tunes to more improvisational approach to music, doing lengthy jams mainly. Williams and Santia left in 1986 and the band adopted a new singer and drummer and became known as Quarkspace, releasing their first album a decade later. The music of Quarkspace is mostly improvised and flowing Space Rock, often with a strong Electronic Music influence and is at times similar to classic Tangerine Dream, Schulze, Tim Blake and such. Some of their works feature vocals. The 'Spacefolds' series consists of completely instrumental compositions.

After being a radio host for several years with his own EM show "Kosmofoon" (where, among other artists, some of his own works were featured), he issued his first LP in 1988.
