5 out of 5 stars How Jazz-Rock was Born. British anyways........2005-07-21

Nucleus's first two albums are some nice pieces of history in the field of jazz-rock. Elastic Rock is kind sounds like Nucleus rushed thought the pieces,but the album does has good rifts and solos mostly by Jenkins and Carr. Highlights on this album here are Twisted Track,an original by Speeding and Peter Brown, that features some nice country blues guitar by Speeding,Torrid Zone and Persephones Blues. Songs like Stonescape,Striantion and Speaking of Myself... are indulgent ideas. Next is a more polished,funk-filled We'll Talk About it Later. Song For a Bearded Lady is a classic and sounds a little better then Hazard Profile from Soft Machine inwhich had Jenkins and Marshall in it, but the song is a gritty funk number with some heavy distored wah-wah piano and slick guitar work. Sun Child follows the theme but with some of the most complex rhythm by Clyde and Mrshall. The gloomy Lullaby For a Lomesome Child is next with a basic rift and head but no solo. The Title Track is a disorganized piece with Speeding holding it together. The long Oasis is an odd piece,you can really get it in your head. Ballad of Joe Pimp is fun to listen to. The unknown singer and simple-minded lyrics get tedious kind of. Easter 1916 is a reprise off of Battle of Boogaloo with some gruff vocal lines making you think of Willam Shatner, but the end of the song is the best with Brian Smith and John Marshall going free-form on us, kind of like Jupiter by Coltrane. A highly recommended double set to own. Recommendation: Six by Soft Machine.

4 out of 5 stars Great Music from a Forgotten Era.......2004-09-30

This CD reminds me that the In a Silent Way did not spring full blown from the forehead of Miles Davis. The first disc is an excellent example of In a Silent Way style modal jazz. It's no wonder from listening to this that the addition of 2 Englishmen made the Miles stuff leap so far ahead. The second disc is even better in my estimation. Some amazing guitar work from the underappreciated Chris Spedding. Great themes from Karl Jenkins and terrific playing from the whole ensemble. A worthwhile purchase for anyone who enjoys the music that Miles made in this era. The fact that the band is led by trumpeter Ian Carr only makes the comparisons more obvious. There's only one Miles, but this stuff holds its weight on its own merits.

5 out of 5 stars What a sound!.......2004-08-21

Ian Carr & Nucleus is a genuine pioneer of British Jazz-Rock Fusion blending free-jazz with psychedelic improvisational rock elements. There is true spirit in their works, far from nowadays pathetic fusion music. Highly-recommended!!!

p.s.: You can see free MP3 file above on this page. Just stop trying to judge IC & Nucleus by it because it is the song of the completely different group with the same name. Amazon should correct this.
