New_World_Man Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Nektar are a band who were a fairly well known underground band in the seventies with some degree of brief commercial success as well. They are mostly known as a prog rock band but also had more rock elements and sometimes psych elements as well. They are sometimes considered Krautrock probably because they had some of that sound but also because they lived in Germany(the members were all originally from the UK though). They are still together to this day. They also used to have a good light show/visual show as well. If you are a fan of Yes or Pink Floyd there's a good chance you would like them. They didn't rock as hard as Rush but they weren't exactly easy listening all the time either and did have their moments when they could rock out. I really think more folks on here would enjoy them. While I don't know all their albums I think Tab in the Ocean, Remember the Future and Recycled in particular are classics and well worth looking into. Recycled is probably my favorite though and has some really cool moments. Turn off the lights and crank it up.

Chronos Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have Recycle, and I truly can't remember the last time I listened to it. I think it's time to dig it up and give them another try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 ... just ordered A Tab In The Ocean What format? Vinyl, cd or mp3? Just wondering. I can definitely see them being a band that vinyl people would like but not only vinyl people of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to get my turntable back up and running, but it's still in the attic I ordered the Japanese SHM CD from a seller on eBay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes, great band. They just did a covers record a few years ago. One of the songs was SOR. Allright.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 How rude of me not to respond. I own every NEKTAR album ever made. All the Japanese cardboard sleeve cds.All of the UK remasters. "RECYCLED" is EPIC. "RECYCLER" by ZZTOP is not. LOL! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
