Path of light (Nektar) (LP 3341)

Nektar  Remember The Future (Vinyl, Passport Records, 1974) ****  

Genre: Prog rock

Places I remember: Tron Records (Hamilton)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Remember the future part 1

Gear costume: Remember the future part 2 

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: Formed in Germany by some ex-pat Brits, this is Nektar's most successful album, both critically and commercially.

It was their fourth album and another concept album to boot. You've gotta love the early seventies!

Both sides are taken up with the title track - a continuous piece of music with a number of subtitles. It unfurls in a beautiful way and rewards repeat listens - it goes past quickly. Before I know it I'm replaying side 1. 

Where do they all belong? A good to great prog album of 1973. That's high praise!
