Prog Synch Listen, Nucleus - Split

[Spock!]

Reminiscent of the vibe of the In A Silent Way band.

[C]

Loving John Marshall even more on this song, he's really holding them all together - so often the drummer is the most important member of the band.

John Marshall is one of my top 3 favourite drummers - he was amazing

[He is still playing with Soft Machine Legacy alongside Roy Babbington who appeared on Nucleus' later albums]

Yes I can hear that

Ian Carr wrote and performed music on a Miles Davis film I seem to recall





.

[Spock!]

Majestic.

Lovely guitar - full of feel and atmosphere

Didn't know that, though I've read Carr's biography of Miles.

Oh yes, and the groove building and building. I think this sort of music has the effect that a track like Kashmir has for others. Picks me up and carries me on in a relentless tide.

Yes, yes , yes

Brilliant stuff

Oboe is gorgeous again.




Perhaps a touch more Weather Report than Miles. Has there been a Weather Report synch listen? Perhaps not enough rockist touches though.

I am never sure which is my favourite Nucleus album

The first three are all superb but this one probably has the edge

I concur. A close run thing though!

Has there been a Weather Report synch listen?

Yes. [I love Weather Report]

We Have doen three WR PSLs: Black Market, Night Passage and Heavy Weather

Perhaps it is getting time to add another to the list...

Yes. I think it has the edge on the first Elastic Rock but posssibly not Solar Plexus....

Some tasty wah wah on this album

[Spock!]

Mysterious Traveller or 8:30 perhaps?

[C]

Ballad Of Joe Pimp - a bod to Zappa's Willie.

It always reminds me of Manfred Mann's Chapter 3 Painted Lady

[Ian Carr appeared on Mike D'Abo's album D'Abo]

8.30 I saw them on that tour- superb but may be a bit long for a PSL. (with Jaco)

MT is a good call

Yes - tasteful is apt. Spedding isn't flash but I rate him highly. Tim Renwick is another I hold in high regard, his timing and ability to serve the song is spot on.

Got the reference to Willie, haven't heard D'Abo. Worth it?

[C]

Such a wonderful sax solo!!
