Este
álbum es definitivamente un punto culminante en la discografía de
Nucleus, y el primero en que Ian Carr tiene un control completo sobre
las composiciones. Este álbum fue escrito bajo una subvención del Arts
Council y según el propio Carr, se basa en dos temas indicados al
comienzo del álbum. Marshall, Clynne, Spedding, y Jenkins todavía tienen un papel destacado en todo el álbum. Como se dijo antes, la primera pista en el lado uno, introduce dos temas que se repetirían más tarde en el álbum. Keith Winter hace una aparición con el sintetizador VCS3. "Tiempos de Cambio" es quizás mi pieza favorita del álbum; es muy cobarde, optimista, y pegadizo. "Bedrock
Deadlock" cuenta con la gran participacion de Jenkins en el oboe (tengo una debilidad
por su forma de tocar el oboe) y Clynne en el contrabajo. "Spirit Level", que incluye un interesante solo de clarinete, cierra la primera cara.
Este álbum es una pieza imprescindible para todos los fans de Núcleus.
En este disco Carr escribió todas las pistas, su sello es la factura en este tercer LP. Más experimentación, menos rock, que en el esfuerzo anterior, sobre todo en el lado A, que es de lejos el mejor de los dos, gracias a la instrumentación.Lado B es mucho más común y los temas son demasiado débiles para poder apoyar lo largo de las pistas.

SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog Folk
Ian Carr was working on this project even before the birth of Nucleus,
as this was some kind of musical grant from England's Art council and
under the patronage of Keith Winter (who incidentally will toy away with
a VCS3 on these recordings). But as Carr was composing on a piano, it
became clear to him that only Nucleus musicians could play what he was
writing. If Ian Carr had only written 5 of 18 tracks over the two first
Nucleus albums, he writes all of the material here
The project was to have two totally different themes, toy/expand them and then fused them altogether in the final track. However ambitious this was (especially for the times), this is only partially successful (IMHO) but also produces some great moments. The two themes are presented in the first tracks as Elements I & II, than the first one becomes very funky jazz rock in the second track and in the fifth track and the other element is developed in track 3 (with a great bowed double bass to start of and very subtle eastern music influences to follow) and 4 (Spirit Level is close to Free Jazz but fear not, nothing as Harsh as in KC's Moonchild or Providence, as it stays relatively wise).
But both elements are to be fused into Snakehips' Dream to last for the 15 min+ with an eerie ending on the afore-mentioned VCS3. There are some lengths in the developments and some repetitions, but overall this is yet another great Nucleus recording.
