The 1986 Tuxedomoon LP Ship of Fools marked the appearance of Ivan Georgiev into the line-up, but actual recordings and tours slowed down as members spent more time pursuing individual projects.
An excellent album, very intense and symphonic. Solid flute lead work (Kollar Attila is one of the greatest flute players), lots of majestic chorus interventions (singers of Hungarian State Opera) and the strong participation of drums, bass, guitar and -specially- the electronic keyboards, makes "Nostradamus" a must. SOLARIS is one of the few bands where, despite the prominent flute role, the listener doesn't think about JETHRO TULL, because the sound is pretty much symphonic and pompous…
