Mainstream is the only album of the UK band Quiet Sun.
The band had originally split up in 1972. Phil Manzanera joined Roxy Music, Bill MacCormick joined Matching Mole, Charles Hayward joined This Heat and Dave Jarrett became a mathematics teacher.
In 1975, Manzanera booked a studio for 26 days to record his first solo album Diamond Head and got Quiet Sun together again to record a studio album from their previously composed material at the same time. The result Mainstream was critically acclaimed and became the New Musical Express' album of the month, apparently Island Records' fourth or fifth biggest seller at the time, close up to Bad Company and Cat Stevens.
Reworked versions of three tracks from Mainstream – "Mummy was an Asteroid, Daddy was a Small Non-Stick Kitchen Utensil" (merged with Manzanera's track from Diamond Head "East of Echo," and rechristened "East of Asteroid"), "Rongwrong," and the intro portion of "Sol Caliente" (which also appeared on Diamond Head as "Lagrima") – were performed by Manzanera's 801 project during 1976 and featured on their acclaimed LP 801 Live.
A CD release of Mainstream was released in 1997 on Manzanera's label, Expression Records.
