4 stars 'Down To Earth' is an original mix of such an intelligent German "Space Rock" with the melodic "unplugged" touch you can recognize within the works of the early Genesis... a melodic bass guitar - as well as the jazz-oriented drum set - enrich the sound, which is particular accessible and soft. The horn section regarding the keyboards is interesting, but the guitar driven tunes are the most inspiring part of the whole album, even though (talking about their melodic pop approach) the influence of Beatles is evident here...at the end in my opinion "Down to Earth" is not the best album by Nektar, despite of giving us the right feelin' about their personal music imprinting; and such imprinting is probably better visible than their best albums, like for instance "Remember the Future" , "A Tab in the Ocean" and "Recycled"... but probably, especially if you don't like the psichedelic approach of their most famous albums as indicated above, you will choose the present one...make your own choice as usual or erase an half star at least from the final score!!
