Op verzoek 1 CD van Nektar - A Tab In The Ocean


The four Englishmen who formed the initial incarnation of Nektar met in Germany and formed the band there in 1969. For a little while in the early to mid-'70s, it seemed like they might take American rock by storm, but that was mostly hype, and by 1975 their big moment had already passed, although they lingered on until the end of the decade and have re-formed in the new millennium, recording several new CDs and appearing at various progressive music festivals.

Allan Freeman (keyboards, vocals), Roye Albrighton (guitar, vocals), Derek Moore (bass, Mellotron, vocals), and Ron Howden (drums) all came to Hamburg from England in 1965 as members of different bands. They met in 1968 at the Star Club, where they discovered some common ground in the Beatles as well as early rock & roll, but were drawn to the more experimental sounds just beginning to emerge on the rock scene. A year later they formed Nektar and began working at combining these influences into an effective whole. By 1970, with a light show (designed and operated by unofficial fifth member Mick Brockett) added to their stage act, they began attracting a growing following in Germany.

They were signed to the Bellaphon label in 1971 and released their debut album, Journey to the Center of the Eye, a year later. Their second album, A Tab in the Ocean, followed later the same year, and achieved a cult following as a direct import. Their extended songs, usually involving extensive variations on the same theme, found a growing audience in an era dominated by the sounds of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes. Nektar's sound, built around guitar, electronic keyboards, and bass, was far more gothic, with dense textures that didn't always reproduce well on-stage — but the fans didn't seem to notice. On radio, however, their music filled in large patches of time and attracted listeners ready to graduate from Iron Butterfly and Vanilla Fudge, and seeking a re-creation of the drug experience in progressive rock.

Ik sta open voor verzoekjes, maar reken daar een paar uur tot één week voor, soms iets langer als het er veel zijn. Lees mijn reactie óp jouw reactie en je krijgt het te weten.

Vraag niet het onmogelijke! Iets 'nieuws' uit 'Piratestan' of andere bagger, want dat heb ik niet.
En ik krijg ook verzoekjes die iemand anders net gepost heeft, dus kijk eerst zelf of het er al op staat!

Ik doe alleen in MP3 en met posten zet ik de bitrate altijd op variabel omdat ik geen zin heb om uit te zoeken wat voor een bitrate bepaalde files hebben. De btr is bij mij tussen de 192 en 320 en soms verschilt dat binnen een CD dus dat is onbegonnen werk waar ik niet zoveel zin in heb. Wees blij met wat je krijgt of laat het staan.


Met heel veel dank aan eerdere posters, spotters, uploaders en de uitvinders van internet en usenet.
