Our Take

London, 1971: a time of floppy hats, flared trousers, and groovy tunes. Enter Ian Carr & Nucleus, a band so ahead of their time they might as well have been from the future. Their album "Solar Plexus / Belladonna" is a psychedelic journey through the cosmos, taking you on a sonic trip you won't soon forget.

The opening track, "Solar Plexus," is a mind-bending fusion of jazz and electronica that sets the tone for the rest of the album. With its complex rhythms and intricate solos, it's clear that these musicians are not messing around. They're here to make you groove, and groove you will.

But it's on "Belladonna" where things really start to get weird (in a good way). This track is like a musical acid trip, with swirling synths, trippy visuals, and a sax solo that will melt your face off. It's a full-on assault on the senses, and I am here for it.

Overall, "Solar Plexus / Belladonna" is a wild ride from start to finish. It's like taking a trip back in time to the heyday of jazz fusion, but with a modern twist. So grab your lava lamp, slip on your bell bottoms, and prepare to get lost in the funky, far-out sounds of Ian Carr & Nucleus. Trust me, you won't regret it.
