New album from one of my favourite groups is awaiting now to be realeased .Unfortunately it`s gonna take some time due to the release of the covers album. Considering that their last studio effort "Book of days" was prematurely published on the stage of being practically a demo, that the prior to this one, "Evolution", was so much better (a good album indeed) and word from Mr Roye Albrighton who says it`s their best album ever (what else should he say, anyway
) I think we may be in for a real treat this time around!
"After completion of their latest studio album, Legendary Nektar announce it's name.
Mr Roye Albrighton informed press today that during an evening celebratory dinner with the Cleopatra Records team last night, they settled on the new name for what Roye has described as the "best album we have ever made".
It is only after much deliberation that they come to this accord. Originally, during the concept phase, Roye has called it Juggernaut (track 9), then they were contemplating using the first track's title "A Better Way" as the whole band felt that it better describes how they all feel about this new era of renown for them.
But in keeping with the ancient themes of the well loved Time element in Nektar's catalogue (their previous production being a massive covers album with huge guest stars called "A Spoonful Of Time" - release date Sept. 9 2012 - Cleopatra Records) they came to the conclusion that the whole album centres around the track entitled fittingly "TIME MACHINE".
Now that Nektar has a new lease of life it seems that the fan base is hungry for as much as they can get, screams for tours are endless on their website at http://nektar.us where you will find a old style forum, quaint but efficient.
So look out for the release date for TIME MACHINE according to the band and Cleopatra Records it is a stonker.
