5 stars 01. A Tab In The Ocean The epic begins with a typical sounds Space Rock (Space Rock), but the introduction of keyboard not mistaken, this is progressive high quality. The Nektar those bands is that almost nobody knows, but it is sensational. The track that gives name to the disc and that the opening is no shadow of a doubt absolute classic. The first part is almost military in its beat and its strange melody. Roye of the guitars are sensational, and with the voice of Derek who also were sensational, in a fake German accent, as the band is actually English (but was formed in Hamburg). Somewhat krautrock and well sharpened. The second part is the voice of Roye, who also are excellent. Along the magnificent riffs and passages. After a string dual voice, we have one of those riff ad infinitum that I love so much, bass, guitar and keyboard playing all together, and it is clear that the battery of Ron Howden accompanies all with great class. Many Vocalizations give the play sequence. Most sensational part, in this case emotional and emotive, with a cool riff. After a series of vocal very well executed, returns to the initial melody keyboard, emphasizing the beginning and end. Classic bitch!

02. Desolation Valley / Waves The second part starts triggering off with the riff of sensational start in a sequence almost jazz, to get the perfect bed for Roye sing so superb that fucking music. Line bottom of sensational Derek Mo. Waves begins with vocalizations, hypnotic drums and keyboards in check. Simply sensational voice of the party, even without equal.

03. Cryin 'In The Dark Here the guitar wha starts filling their ears with all the will (actually are 2). That voice of hell, sensational. Several unforgettable riffs, the band was a factory of them. Can I risk that reaches final dobradinha be better than the best of dobradinhas end of discs (which in my opinion is Brain Damage / Eclipse of The Dark Side Of The Moon, 1973 of Pink Floyd), this is knocking out the front.

04. King Of Twilight And there we go with King Of Twilight, the epic voice of the beginning, the dry and repetitive riff, the lyrics sung in chorus. Great chorus riff and more. For the middle front of the guitar solo is full of duplicity and bases low, keyboards, drums and guitar genius. End dry, with more I like.

This disc is without a shadow of a doubt, great! I have no words to tell how this disc is good. Hearing mandatory!
