 Topic: Moving Waves In The Ocean!
Posted: January 18 2011 at 11:49 |
Both albums are my favourite, both bands have a honorable place in my collection. Both somewhat shadowed by Prog Giants, but still excellent gems. So, whom to decide for? That´s a dilemma, at least for me.

Nektar!!! I like them very much! Also, because of Opeth (the track Nectar from Morningrise is influenced by Nektar)!

I never put the two together on cassette, but it would make for an interesting combo.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A Tab In The Ocean is an album that I'd rate *****, rounded up a bit. Splendid album that helped me get into prog.
Moving Waves I'd rate ***, nowhere near the awesomeness from Hamburger Concerto.

I'd like to give Focus the lead, but I don't know Nektar's album. No vote.

Classic albums. I prefer A Tab In The Ocean by Nektar.

Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

I haven't listened to these two in a rather long time, maybe I should and get back to this :)

Both superb, long-time favourites of mine too, from waaay back. I 'travelled' more often and further with Nektar, so there's my vote.

I love both, but after listening to Nektar, it got very boring for me, so I think Focus. But I love both albums by bits!
