However ambitious this was (especially for the times), this is only partially successful (IMHO) but also produces some great moments.
The project was to have two totally different themes, toy/expand them and then fused them altogether in the final track. If Ian Carr had only written 5 of 18 tracks over the two first Nucleus albums, he writes all of the material here But as Carr was composing on a piano, it became clear to him that only Nucleus musicians could play what he was writing.
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).
