Reviews
heavy album .. outstanding musicians .. shame theres a price tag .. miss the reissue and you're at the mercy of an empty wallet- Edited 15 years agoAs Carr wrote all tracks, his name is top of the bill on this 3rd Nucleus LP. More experimentation, less rock, than on the previous effort, especially on side A, which is by far the better of the two, thanks to inventive instrumentation. Great flanged guitar on ''Spirit level'' and there we find subtle even soothing dissonance too. Side B is much more common and the themes are too weak to be able to support the length of the tracks. The closing ''Snakehips dream'' is the longest and thus the worst.
