Biography

Nektar were originally a group of British musicians living and working together near Heidelberg in Southern Germany during the early to mid seventies. They had massive success both with their albums and their live shows, which were famous for an adventurous mixture of good live-sound and vision, due to the light show covering the band during their live sets with psychedelic motifs. The connection between their music and the art of Helmut Wenske, who also designed three of their most successful album covers made them unique and still remembered to this day among those who saw their early shows or know their records. Reformed in 2000, and disbanded upon Roye Albrighton's death in 2016, the band regained several founding members in 2019, and recorded a new album of unreleased and new material dating back to 1978. This album again features the artwork of Helmut Wenske. Current line-up (August 2019): Derek "Mo" Moore - Bass (1969-) [Founding member] Ron Howden - Drums & vocals (1969 -) [Founding member] Mick Brockett - Liquid lights (1969-1979, 2019-) [Founding member] Randy Dembo - Bass and 12-String Guitar (2004-2005, 2019-) Ryche Chlanda - Guitars (1978, 2019-) Kendall Scott - Keyboard (2019-) Former members: Roye Albrighton - Lead vocals & guitars (1969 - 2016, deceased) Allan "Taff" Freeman - Keyboards & vocals (1969 - 2004) Tom Hughes - Hammond organ, keyboards & vocals (2004 - 2006) Dave Nelson - Guitars & vocals (1977 - 1978) Peter Pichl - Bass & vocals (2007 - 2012) Dave Prater - Drums & vocals (1980 - 1982) Carmine Rojas - Bass & vocals (1980 - 1982, 2006) Billy Sherwood - Producer & multiple instruments (2012 - 2013) Klaus Henatsch, - Keyboards (2007 - 2018) Lux Vibratus - Bass (2011 - 2013)

LYRICS

Climb aboard, imaginary waves
Of thought beneath the veils of bluey-green,
Armoured horses with sparkling sunset eyes,
Give a passing glance.
Funny creatures with funnly plastic lives,
Purple thrones are set in deep disguise,
Neptune's world around us lies.
Wake up!! take a chance, climb aboard,
Life is changing the oceans floor,
The time is near, when nothing's clear,
Nothing's left!!
Falling, i'm only falling,
To the answer, to every question,
Is it real, or just deception?
Taste, touch and find,
What it is, that's in your mind.
Truth can be yours,
So let it come,
Just like it did before.
Sorrow, there's no tomorrow,
And the answer, to every mans question,
Is it real, or just deception?

Taste, touch and find,
What it is, that's in your mind.
Truth can be yours,
So let it come,
Just like it did before.
Soon now,
As night turns into day,
And minds step out to play,
In the sun.
Forever,
This feeling will be yours,
A feel you cannot ignore,
It's the one,
You've waited for,
It's the one
You've seen before.
