1995 album from the Swedish prog rock maestros that are often compared to 'Red'-era King Crimson. 'Nucleus' was the group's second album. Eight tracks. The booklet contains lyrics (in English) to all of the songs. 1995 release.

Along with ANGLAGARD, ANEKDOTEN is the most famous example of the new Scandinavian School. This trend mixes dark and gloomy influences with an extreme energy a bit in the way of KING CRIMSON on "Red" or UNIVERS ZERO. The orchestration includes Mellotron and cello (All performed by pretty Anna Sofi DAHLBERG !) and allows to turn in one second from a vaporous atmosphere to the paroxysm of frenzy. "Vemod" (1993) can be considered as a total masterpiece, and "Nucleus" follows right in the wake. A music with a rare intensity which let any listener breathless. "From Within" (1999) shows a return to a less tough and more anglagardian music, still within a wonderful melancholic tension. This is probably one of the landmarks of the decade, and that means you cannot afford to ignore it any longer !

ANGLAGARD is probably the first band of the Nineties to have become a legend of Progressive rock, and to have been considered at the same level as the Seventies giants. And this didn’t happen by chance ! It’s probably one of the best Swedish bands, and constitutes a dark counterpart to the resolutely optimistic THE FLOWER KINGS. Now mythical, this line-up unfortunately split-up, because the musicians thought they had said everything they had to say musically speaking. Its fast-track career was however built "Only" on two incredible albums ("Hybris" in 1993 and "Epilog" the following year) and some memorable tours. We’ll just mention two simply huge stage performances at the 1993 and 1994 editions of the most famous modern festival dedicated to this forgotten style, the Los Angeles ProgFest. "Buried Alive" is an album that was issued after the split-up and that consists of the almost complete show there, (About) one hour fifteen minutes of 100% instrumental and breathtaking music ! Let’s just say that the audience could feel privileged to witness such a memorable moment… And this shows on the album ! The art of ANGLAGARD can be characterized by a touch of GENESIS-like arpeggios, YES-like virtuosity, some soft flute melodies, a few bits of local folk, sudden Mellotron apparitions and unexpected, violent KING CRIMSON-like moments (Always beautifully controlled and performed). All of this also shows a paradoxically well defined personality mainly due to its quite Scandinavian and immediately recognizable melancholy. Add to this a perfect, not at all show-off musical interpretation that is subservient to the compositional skills and you can get the picture. The compositions themselves develop mostly with instrumental tracks that include sudden but always melodical rhythm changes. If ANGLAGARD had appeared twenty years ago, we could think that they could be equals to the bands that they acknowledge as influences: first KING CRIMSON, but also GENESIS and YES. How strange ! It’s then not surprising that those six musicians have now managed to influence a lot of other groups such as their compatriots ANEKDOTEN, LANDBERK, BOOK OF HOURS and SINKADUS (But also DEADWOOD FOREST in the United States of America and NeBeLNeST in France). You should then (Re)-discover the only available live album by ANGLAGARD: it will probably blow up your pre-conceived values about Progressive rock !...
