Description
Nucleus's Elastic Rock, a milestone in Jazz-Rock, was first released on Vertigo in 1970. This Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows just why this album deserves to be back in press. The legendary Nucleus, led by genius trumpeter and visionary composer Ian Carr, refused to recognize boundaries and aimed to deliver a total, constantly evolving musical experience. Elastic Rock, with its blend of rock and jazz, is a perfect example of this. Originally recorded over four days in January 1970, the album stands out among British jazz albums with its explosive sound and unique tracks like "1916" and "Torrid Zone". The smooth title track and serene songs like "Striation" and "Twisted Track" add to the album's depth and appeal. Overall, Elastic Rock is a must-have for fans of jazz fusion and a timeless record that still feels fresh and relevant.
