Still under the name Ian Carr's Nucleus, this is a much better album than its predecessor. With an altogether more cohesive line-up (although further changes lay ahead), the foundation of the group was set, Ian Carr will use the name Nucleus from the next album on. With Bryan Smith the only mainstay from Labyrinth and MacRae (who had guested on Belladona) , Nucleus found a superb bassist in Roger Sutton and Jocelyn Pitchen as a very apt fusion guitarist. Drummer Clive Thacker is also known amongst progheads and fusion freaks, but will only remain for this album.

Opening with the excellent title-track, but unfortunately followed up by a mediocre sung-jazz track (I am not a fan of vocal jazz except in the Fitzgerald-Armstrong genre) , the third track is clearly a wink at Soft Machine (remember Ban Ban Caliban) now filled up to the brim with old Nucleus-members , now that Nucleus is finding itself in a much better state than in the previous years. Superb guitars (Soft Machine had no guitars at that time) and superb brass underlinings, Sutton is the man in charge. Clearly my fave track on the album.

Side 2 starts off good with Whapititi, and then slows down somewhat with Capricorn, but clearly the last two tracks are the main course. Odokamona is surprisingly hard-sounding (since their second album, we had not heard such hi-energy music) and ends in a superb chaos and the finale track being the apex of the album making you reach ecstasy, but with a hunger for more.

The LP is an original VERTIGO pressing (the Spaceship design), Cover Art by Keith Davis, number 6360100, UK 1st Press 1973, and is very RARE!  THERE ARE NO OTHERS ON eBay!!!
