1970 - Nucleus - Elastic Rock [FULL ALBUM]

Elastic Rock is Nucleus' first album. Recorded in January 1970, released in March 1970, it was a pioneering work in the emerging genre of jazz-fusion.
Bandleader Ian Carr was inspired by Bitches Brew which had not yet been released at the time Elastic Rock was recorded, and according to Carr, they hadn't even heard Davis' less rock-influenced 1969 electric release, In a Silent Way.
