Sadly I only hit one on Sunday.......Record Surplus. Was simply too busy to make room for others, and since it was Father's Day I had to go to one. I did find 3 records (will post pics later). Genesis-Abacab Genesis-Invisible Touch Nektar-Time Machine Nektar was wrapped new on the Purple Pyramid Records label. The Genesis albums are VG+, excellent condition and help finish out my Genesis vinyl collection, plus they were priced really well at like US7.00 and Nektar was at USD12.00

I never heard that Nektar album, let me know how it is
You just described the 1 PA star about those Genesis albums, "for completionists"  |

^ I love all Genesis, they are my #2 band all time. That era is where they made their money, and they deserve it. Just like PG made his money with So...He deserved to make money so yea maybe more pop oriented rock but I don't care, it's great music.
Being prog did not pay the bills...... I may listen to Nektar tonight, I have the digital download version.....for sure the vinyl version will sound better
 . The band have said it is their better album, lyric wise not, music yes... |

I was never able to like their 80's music, not even when a few months ago I saw a Genesis and PG tribute band that only played their 80's stuff: it was painful but not as painful as when the band arrogantly said the best thing PG did was leaving Genesis (which is stupid since they were linking both on their show)... that's when I left
 Nektar's music has lyrics? I never noticed...   |

Beware of some new vinyl pressings, they are cut from CD masters and are not genuine vinyl masters - it's like in the early CD days when they used vinyl masters to make CD's, only now it's the other way around.

So this is my new favorite Nektar album, the band is right, somewhat, on the lyrics....Not so much the content as the delivery. Its not bad but you can tell they are long in the tooth  . For an older band its really not bad...On the other hand the music is brilliant! I agree that it is some of their best work, next to RtF, it's very tight playing with a super nice flow.What I did not realize until reading the liner notes is Billy Sherwood plays bass on this album, he also engineered and helped mix the album. Which by the way is fantastic on vinyl.... Side 1 is about 28min long with maybe 6mm leadout space, Side 2 is about 27min.....The low end does not suffer at all, and I have the digital version, supposedly nothing is lacking on digital, but the vinyl version is as good if not better sounding, no sibilance at all that close to the end. Bass guitar, kick bass and synth/organ sounds are nice and deep, full sounding mix too. There are some nods to RtF in the songs Tranquility and Diamond Eyes, along with Juggernaut make up two of the bright spots on the album. Diamond Eyes is the longest track at 10min+ complete with hammond organ.... I like it very much.....

 One of my other finds, yes this helps complete my Genesis vinyl catalog. The main reason I bought this one is that it is a Charisma label issue (CBR-102), not a US Atlantic label issue, also has the embossed cover and Brown, Yellow, Pink, Blue color scheme. The US version is Yellow, Red, Grey, Green.....picky I know, but hey it's my vinyl collection!!! . |

Great album indeed, especially since they (allegedly) left off some of the 'weaker' tunes for the vinyl issue. Nothing wrong here, as far as I'm concerned - superb album. Pretty much faultless, for me, although I don't think much of that lyric " One day, you may find, life's not, what you had in mind "...... Sounds a bit nasty to me......But they're only lyrics...... |

It is a good album (3 stars). But this is Genesis, and regardless of one-eyed Prog fetishism, it is a good album. Early 'cross-over' is an apt description, but cross-over of what ?? I'm starting to be part of the anti-label crowd...... |

Good to know it's a decent album, the reviewers didn't seem very optimistic about it... they probably listened to the full CD version Edited by Meltdowner - June 30 2015 at 14:27 |

^ Great website, thanks for sharing
I can't believe I read the entire article, I only listened to this album once Curiously, I saw a quite cheap copy of Wilson's remix the other day, good to know it's a very decent one... I might return to buy it  |
