With every new album, Nucleus Torn open
new vistas of sound in the realm of avant-garde rock music. We are talking of a
musical project that has grown out of dimensions. This is no surprise when one
knows that Nucleus Torn (Switzerland) is led by Fredy Schnyder, who, not
unusually, takes in use about twenty instruments.
Andromeda Awaiting, Nucleus Torn's
third full-length album, is an ethereal work of progressive rock clearly
inspired by medieval music, and sometimes jazz and oriental melodies. All is
mellow and dreamy, yet never monotonous. These masters of innovations had better
be experienced than described and couldn't be recommended more to those in
search of a rare gift of music and change of mind.
