Nektar's album "Recycled" is an absolute masterpiece in progressive rock imo. It is a great concept album, containing great time changes, beautiful vocals, and amazing choir. The album sounds very spacey but also down on earth alike at the same time, the feeling of being into the future and the past, sometimes both at the same time remains through the whole album.
Nektar albums are very different and each album might take a while to get into, but when you are, then they sound amazing!

1. Recycling

Here, there, new wonders gently steal,
disguised distorted like moonlit seas
...and I see
you've taken all you need,
queue up, don't fear
there's mans new fortune here...you hear.

Song-birds, recycling, the same old tune,
Still you slave onwards, 'till all is used.
...tho' I'll see
you'll get the life you need,
queue up don't fear,
it's the man who brought you here...you hear.

2. Flight To Reality

You live in stainless forts,
with glass walls around,
Fight against recourses
with your head in the ground,

A nation's urgent need
fulfils anothers greed
going down down down
down down down down
Fly across the concrete jungle
high in the clouds
Looking up to crystal mountains so proud.

No need to wonder why
nature slowly dies
going down down down
Going down down down
down down down down.

3. Unendless Imagination?

Do you see? Do you see?
Do you do you see? Do you see?
Do you see the ruins
of a life gone by?
Built upon by burning towers
lighting the sky,
Imagine you're the prince of eagles
tears in your eyes,
Do you see there's not much time
before we go
down down...
down down down down

This is great::

"song birds recycling the same old tune, still you slave onwards till all is used. In other words: nature shows how everything could work, but we choose to ignore it.

To be able to type in a name from my youth and hear memories spring back to life is an amazing thing. I never dreamed I'd hear this in my living room without hooking up a turntable. Awesome.

I remember seeing them live at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan around 1977 or 78. They were fantastic! Thanks for posting the album. It brings back a lot of memories.

Diese Texte zeigen in einer Weise das die Drogen der 70er wirklich bewusstseinserweiternd gewesen sein mussten. lol Denn wie hätten sie damals das Heute schon so genau sehen können .....

Nektar - Ihr habt viele Fans in good ol´ germany

The vocalist reminds me a bit of the Deep Purple leader singer, Ian Gillan.

But I love how the time shifts are so sudden yet pause for the necessary guitar down stroked chords.

Awesome stuff.
