Nektar - A Tab In The Ocean (Remaster)
Review by Gary Hill
When I first discovered Nektar, my favorite album by them was without a doubt Remember The Future. The thing is, the only copy of A Tab in the Ocean that I ever had was an LP that was scratched almost to point of total unplayability.

Nektar - Fortyfied
Review by Gary Hill
I’ve been a big fan of Nektar for many years. They have always been one of the better obscure bands out there and I’ve always wanted to see them live, but I’ve yet to have the chance.

Nektar - Live at NEARfest, 2002
Review by Stephen Ellis
I had never had an opportunity to see this band before even though I have been a serious fan since 1972. It seems they never toured in the southern states for some reason! I had "tripped" to every one of their CD's (well actually LP's back then) and when reading of their show, lights included, I could only dream of what such a musical adventure would be like.

Nektar - Magic Is A Child
Review by Gary Hill
1977's Magic Is A Child was never considered by fans to be among Nektar's best, because it is a lot more accessible and less prog rock-oriented than the majority of their catalog. The album's low esteem is really less about the quality of this album, though and more about the incredibly high quality of the rest of the band's repertoire.

Nektar - Man In The Moon
Review by Gary Hill
In the 1980's hair metal and new wave were king. It must have been really hard to be a prog band in those days because so many of them felt the urge to jump on the pop bandwagon to try to stay afloat.

Nektar - Recycled
Review by Gary Hill
Recycled is arguably the masterwork by this fairly obscure progressive rock band. Basically an epic piece divided into 11 movements, Recycled utilizes the tools of progressive rock (both unique and reminiscent of other bands) to create a very interesting piece of work.

Nektar - Remember The Future

Nektar - Remember The Future (Remaster)
Review by Gary Hill
Another classic album from the progressive rock cult legends Nektar, this is part of their series of remasters of their back catalog. This album, a concept one consisting of two extended pieces (technically one piece, but limitations of the vinyl LP time format necessitated their splitting it into two sections) is one of the most impressive pieces of work from the band, and arguably the genre in general.
