This was the second album released by this English-by-way-of-Germany spacerock band. It was recorded in 1972 and features Taff Freeman (mellotron, pianos, organ, vocals), Roye Albrighton (guitars, vocals), Mo Moore (bass) and Ron Howden (drums).
Despite my fondness for the pure psychedelic progressiveness of Journey To The Centre Of The Eye, A Tab In The Ocean is the first release where they really gain their very unique sound and sense of self. Another excellent spacerock release.
"Deluxe double LP pressing in gatefold jacket. A expanded reissue of the epic 1972 prog rock masterpiece that remains a landmark of the genre and one of the most popular albums of Nektar's illustrious career.
The second LP contains 4 excellent psychedelic bonus tracks from 1972-1973, which have remained unreleased on vinyl until this release.
The band formed in Hamburg, Germany in 1969. Throughout their early existence the band's songwriting was credited as a group effort. The band's early albums Journey to the Centre of the Eye (1971), A Tab in the Ocean (1972) and... Sounds Like This (1973) were obscure psychedelic rock albums that won the band a growing cult following, based largely on word of mouth."
