ELASTIC ROCK

Now if you have not heard Nucleus' Elastic Rock then you have clearly not lived man. Imagine taking the creative energy of Miles Davis and the space vibes of Embryo and mixing in some Soft machine then you might have something close to this album ! Pure fusion land kids ! IMHO this is one of the great fusion albums to own! With a high degree of improvisation and creativity this album mixes it all. Ian Carr's trumpet and flugelhorn mixing with John Marshall's complex drumming, Chris Spedding fret work, Jeff Clyne's tireless bass work, Brian Smith's Sax and Flute and Karl Jenkins oboe and piano make this an extra special album. The album pretty much runs straight together from the start to the finish and is one of those albums that end far too soon. IMHO Nucleus never got better than this album and for me stands out as a magical piece of work.
