The third and best-known release by this English group who spent their most popular years in Germany, and are usually thought of as a German band. This was a hugely popular release in the mid 70's, selling hundreds of thousands of copies! Really!
Kinda jammy, definitely somewhat Pink Floydy, Nektar were a quartet of vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass and drums. This includes a bunch of extras.
“First released in November 1973, the album was a conceptual piece comprising a musical cycle divided into two parts and was recorded at Chipping Norton Studios in England. ‘Remember the Future’ became the band’s most successful album, being a chart hit in Germany, but also reaching number 13 on the US Billboard charts without the band having ever touring America. It was a pivotal album for the band and broke them to a wider audience and remains one of Nektar’s most well-known and highly regarded works.
This 50th Anniversary edition comprises 4 CDs and a multi-region Blu Ray disc and features a newly remastered original stereo mix of the album along with and additional two CDs featuring a previously unreleased concert recorded at the Stadthalle, Munster, Germany in January 1974 and stunning new 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo mixes of the album from the original multi track tapes. Also included on the Blu ray disc are the original 1973 Quad mix and additional video content comprising of the rare ‘Remember the Future’ promotional film, the film of ‘Wings’ shown on BBC TVs Old Grey Whistle Test and a live performance of ‘Desolation Valley / Waves’ for the same TV show.”
