#THE STYLE COUNCIL DISCOGS FULL#
Carr himself had almost full control of the writing and it does feel very different to the previous albums. Solar Plexus features the same lineup as Elastic Rock and We'll Talk About It Later, but they're augmented by six guests, three of which play brass. (The title is a reference to the famous dancer 'Snakehips' Johnson)." CHANGING TIME and SPIRIT LEVEL explore the first theme and BEDROCK DEADLOCK and TORSO explore the second one. SNAKEHIPS DREAM tries to fuse both themes. The first theme is angular and has a slow, crab-like movement: the second theme is direct, simple and diatonic. It is based on two short themes which are stated at the beginning (Elements I & I1). We'll let Ian describe this one: "I wrote Solar Plexus' last year with the help of an Arts Council grant. To steal a line from a review of our re-issue of Roots, when it comes to anything Nucleus “it’s basically already hip-hop”. This constant evolution and revolution was all part of the continuous musical exploration and discovery that took jazz to new levels. Under bandleader Carr, Nucleus existed as a fluid line-up of inventive, skilled musicians. Regarding music as a continuous process, Nucleus refused to “recognise rigid boundaries” and worked on delivering what they saw as a “total musical experience”. In late 1969, following the demise of the Rendell-Carr quintet, and tiring of British jazz, Carr assembled the legendary Nucleus. He was a true pioneer and saw the potential in fusing the worlds of jazz with rock, just as Miles Davis and The Tony Williams Lifetime did in the US. Genius trumpeter and visionary composer Ian Carr was one of the most respected British musicians of his era. This Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows off just why this deserves to be back in press. Inevitably, original copies are now very tricky to score and, like all the Nucleus records, it’s aged ridiculously well. He also worked with Daltrey and Pete Townshend on their 2014 single release " Be Lucky." and on Pete Williams' album Roughnecks Roustabouts (Basehart Recordings), released in March 2015.What a record! The outstanding Solar Plexus, the much-loved third album from Ian Carr and Nucleus, was first released on Vertigo in 1971. In 2014, Talbot worked with Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey on the collaborative studio album Going Back Home. Talbot toured the UK in 2009 with Candi Staton. Talbot played keyboards in Galliano, on tour with Gene, and on the 1991 Young Disciples album Road to Freedom. Talbot was a member of Dexys (formerly Dexys Midnight Runners) in 1980 and from 2003 to 2013.
#THE STYLE COUNCIL DISCOGS MOD#
Talbot played with late-1970s mod revivalists the Merton Parkas, Dexys Midnight Runners and the Bureau and can be seen in The Bureau's music video for their song "Only for Sheep". He has since begun playing alongside former Style Council bandmate White and former Ocean Colour Scene bass guitar player Damon Minchella, in the jazz/ funk band the Players. He has also released albums with fellow former Style Council member Steve White, under the name Talbot/White. Since the break-up of the Style Council in March 1990, Talbot has continued to play with Weller on his solo material. In 1982, he started working with Paul Weller to form the Style Council, who released their first records in early 1983. He has been a member of Dexys Midnight Runners, the Merton Parkas and the Bureau. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Talbot is probably best known as co-founder of the Style Council. Michael Talbot (born 11 September 1958) is an English keyboardist.
