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. Recycle

Call me down, the time is here
reminding you to slow the wheel
now, nearing the end of the day,
look, never a moment too soon, or late.

Count the hours, the weeks the days,
forcing natures' slow decay
here, as we look down on you there
you, fall on into your web of despair.

Man! You had it all your own way,
Now, salvaging blocks of decay. Clean the scene; Change machines!

2. Cybernetic consumption

3. Recycle Countdown

Talk away, the die is cast
all the day, the reasons last.
Just look what is happening here
see, never a day without fear...It's here!

Calm me down, I have to share
before the world I stand declared.
Hear these words at the end of the day
come never a moment too soon. or late.

Man! You had it all your own way,
Now, salvaging blocks of decay. Clean the scene; Change machines!

4.Automation Horrorscope

Webs of concrete giving off waste dust that marks the search of an age of a thousand vast empires, Sweeping away legends untold to human ears. While shafts of steel clutch the stars, natural supplies...once numerous..now lapse into eerie silence. Recycled energy becomes the only form of life as it was... now new forms are molded from patterns already used in a struggle to survive!

You had me thinking that I lost my mind
but no, it was you.
Thought you'd make it to a better time
'til now, but it's through.

Your castles made of sand
hold out your helpless hands
going down down down
down down down down
They take it all
then take much more...today,
no man could ever realize
his mistakes,

They will help you one step down...
sit back... and watch you drown
going down down down
Going down down down
down down down

Mono ???

[Anirml]

You are right! even when you add &fmt=18 to end of url it doesn't give you stereo -_-.

All 4 parts is in mono it seems. Thanks for telling me! Something went wrong with the upload, maybe. Atleast you can hear it at Nektar's webpage (link in description) in HQ stereo!

[gerrick456]

Way ahead of there time,I got to see them live in Allentown Pa in 74,All i can say is wow where has the music gone thanks for bringing them back

[Anirml]

Must have been amazing seeing them back in the day! As you said, Nektar is very unique and doesn't sound like many other bands!

Im a black guy, born in 77, I like nektar lol. Brothas down with nektar!!!

[kipptumor]

I have this in my cabinet somewhere still! Oh I see - The vocals - You only get the effects track on this upload - It was a great album though - The 70's - How do you describe that vibe to the kids today? It sucks HAVING real freedom and then watching it disappear. Definitely was a different world back then.

[codematrix]

OMG - it's been so long and still remember every twist and turn.

@Anirml I saw them at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ and they did this album from top to bottom with the light show (Joe's Lights, Joshua Light Show or Pig Lights, don't remember which). this album remains as my brother once said, the closest thing to a perfect album, especially in its flow. Great stuff.
