Fortunately there is a compilation album just called NEKTAR (1976) which has all the best bits of the albums and is highly recommended.ĥ0 years of music, 15 studio albums, an amazing cartel of past and present musicians (some of them unfortunately "Tab in the Ocean" and "Magic is a Child" had shorter songs and were less less satisfying. "Journey To The Centre Of The Eye" is a mindblowing epic with lots of echoplex guitar and dual Mellotrons which is quite in tune with the Krautrock stuff going on around them, yet is definitely British. Each is a conceptual album that is a nice blend of melodic guitar and keyboards with a vocal story. The 70's gave them the occasion to issue some masterpieces, like for example "Remember the Future" (1973) and "Recycled" (1975). Their earliest albums were hard rock that drew heavily from the space-rock and PINK FLOYD styles of the same period. NEKTAR was formed in 1969 by Allan FREEMAN (keyboards & vocals), Roye ALBRIGHTON (guitars & vocals), Derek MOORE (bass, Mellotron & vocals) and Ron HOWDEN (drums). NEKTAR is probably the most German-like of the Seventies British bands, a fame that owes a lot to the town in which this band was founded (Hamburg) and to their stylistic approach (Assimilated to Krautrock). Founded in Hamburg, Germany in 1969 - Disbanded in 1982 - Regrouped from 2000-2016 - Reformed in 2018
