Nektar / A Tab in the Ocean

[@stefaniaarnone9595]

Das war damals die beste Musik überhaupt ,kenne sie heute noch auswendig ,damals 1975 war ich gerade mal 13 Jahre jung ,das ganze album hörten ich und meine ältere Schwester jeden Tag ,Nektar super

[@majsiewiczm57]

Yes też był dobry

[@stevenreents7218]

This is their best by far IMHO. So many great progressive rock bands from the 70's. We need more of them now to counteract the bullshit on the radio.

[@Paulo-ue5sq]

A Tab In the Ocean, entire, and Recycled side A , compete to be Nektar's masterpiece. What is not few for those who also made Journey to the Centre of the Eye and Remember the Future and still, before I forget we're 1 of the 3 bands who will leave their names as the best rock bands ever, the others being Camel and Pink Floyd. May be an accentric opinion in 2022, but within 50 100 years ... I won't be here to confirm it jbut that's the way it will be.

[@ludochem]

I m just discovering this !!! i love how cohesive and compact this 17 muinute of music is !! And the voices are gorgeous !!!! Really feel like a band playing live and jamming/improvising at times !!! irf you want to dive into the early seventies music this is the place to go !!!!

[@lennylaredo9561]

I remember buying Recycled first, the A Tab, then 14 Down to Earth, then Remember The Future. I was playing Bass then. I remember mimicking parts of A Tab and Recycled. There was nobody I could play this stuff with. Everyone was playing Allmans, Trafic, Cream, Mountain,etc. All my Buddies listened to this with me. But none were Musically adapting or progressing so as to have a partner in playing this stuff. Deep Purple was out and so was Zep and Sabbath. But Nektar, Henrey Cow/Slap Happy, Crimson, Blood Rock and some other bands were making up the rest of my collection. And I just couldn't find the people to play this stuff. So, it was me and the turntable. I thank all the forces of nature and God that helped me find this music and allowed me to turn so many others on to it.

[@jamesdunne5638]

That intro has still got to be one of the all time best prog rock intro's EVER! Had the pleasure of seeing them a few times back in the 70's. Still love em! R.I.P Roye Albrighton. Thanks for the music.

[@answartz]

A mini rock opera onto itself. Monster guitars, organ and riffs. Quiet moments too. Spectacular. One of my favorite rock works. Bloody inspired!!!!

[@lennylaredo9561]

Right Andrew Swartz? Recycled was the same way. 14 Down to Earth was the starter concept Album for them, although " Remember the Future " was like Tab in The Ocean as well. I saw them at The Palladium in NYC for Remember The Future. And in Long Island in Franklyn Square for Tab in The ocean. Each time I do not remember any other Band playing but Nektar. Tull was doing the same things at this point. And , really Floyd was as well.

[@rickc-137___]

Any album that can be played all the way through is a good album.

[@sebastienberube1157]

glorious, sweeping, magnificent, crushingly weird progressive rock. wow. brilliant. where's this been all my life?

[@MrDan708]

Not too long ago, I tried to find a CD copy of the album. Nowhere to be seen, not even Amazon at the time! This is truly a buried treasure that needs to be unearthed!

[@2e4o44]

The five eyed wing beast Soaring through my mind Giving me a glance of myself Through the eyes of mirror images Oh fifth world goddess Give me your sorrow So i can finally feel you warm-hearted Soul in my arms

[@chato1500]

tab in the ocean es una verdadera obra maestra del progresivo sicodelico de los 70s tengo 40 años escuchandolos y no dejo de admirar sus discos

[@rienrien509]

Je me demande comment de simples hommes ont pu avoir le génie de composer une telle pureté

[@johanstaelens5194]

Nektar reformed again ! RIP Roye !

[@ericdupont1326]

Thank you Roye for those 43 years of inspiring music that I have really loved since the first chords I heard in 1973 ; you've put A Tab In The Oceans of my Musics and Songs ; as I remember my future, your songs make me feel as I am always 18 y o ( not nearly 62 ) ; thanks again Roye ; be fine where you are .

[@Jpeterson7]

He had so much soul in his voice and rhythm in his guitar. The drummer was very in tune with Roye with is what made them so freaking tight. His right wrist was loose and fast like Tom Johnston of the Doobie Brothers. I know it seems like an odd comparison but I love both bands and I see the similarities.

[@deepcoldblue]

Magnum Opus...Love this Album.

[@martyn26.2]

I bought this second hand and thought it was great. I remember very well playing this being nervous as hell on the morning of my wedding - Sunday 30th April 1978.

[@kookiekingkrowthemexicanoc749]

Wow amazing art.

[@ralphmitchell1162]

Remember seeing them several times in the 70s when bands toured to small venues of 2/300 people fantastic band.

[@ricardoyclaudiamontes9659]

it´s very simple the best progressive rock song i ever heard

[@EtArcadiaego]

true nothing kitsch, its basically how supposed to be a true prog. rock as well the metal riff at the middle very innovative ,,

[@MikeFlood-oe3tu]

...good choice. It is certainly right up there for me.

[@RicardoGrion]

SUPERRR!!!...ouvia isso com 15 anos (1977)...e até hj arrepia.

[@Michael-xw4er]

Good prog music takes you on a journey and thats what this does good time. The psychedelic era produced such good music. Now where's my pipe?

[@andythomas706]

I saw them in '73. They were supporting Zappa. I was impressed!

[@ericpeets7919]

Awesome! Didn't expect them to support zappa, but at the same time doesn't suprise me.

[@andythomas706]

It was the London give on the Overnite Sensation tour!

[@shamoodave]

Nice one, good gig !!

[@metalred74]

This Nektar sounds so very sweeeeeet!!! The true "nectar'' of the Prog GODS!!!

[@jenssturm2319]

Very nice music! Nice to get to know - after over 40 years!

[@Max-ro7sz]

3:30 and 11:30 are pure magic.

[@vd266]

❤❤️‍🔥🎸🎇

[@MikeFlood-oe3tu]

and at 8:09 begins what might be the greatest rock riff, ever.

[@leandrolima5412]

sublime

[@professorronaldofaria6290]

Adoro esse álbum!

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

very very well all.................................................................

[@ralphmarrone3130]

From 14:45 to the end...sheer, unadulterated bliss...

[@brianwhite5264]

RIP Roye Albrighton...

[@jacksonfritts2988]

The riffage at 8:10 is fucking heavy! Probably one of the best riffs I've heard. Love this song, and I love that this band has grown on me.

[@sebastienberube1157]

it sounds very death metal, for a prog-rock band outta the '70's, that's for sure!

[@jacksonfritts2988]

I know Iron Maiden isn't Death, but apparently Steve Harris liked this band enough to cover a track from this album. Bad ass! Think these guys were hugely influential.

[@westrig180]

No, it goes this way: DM sounds like this, as Nektar was long before it.

[@Uranverein]

Wake up! Take a chance! Climb aboard!

[@alrune5668]

Eu amo tanto essa msc 🥺🥺🫶

[@theprocastination9697]

Really good, I like this more even than the most of pink floyd´s songs

[@malloysfootagearchive8919]

This song is better then every pink Floyd song imo, who doesn’t like this lol

[@winfriedgareis9551]

💓💓 prog rock -Nektar als noch junge Band spielte bei Uns in Darmstadt zum Schulball 70 oder 71 im LGG 🔥 🔥

[@Huija]

All this record is a marvelous trip, but Waves is such a sonic delight

[@ricardoleivam]

Sube a bordo, olas imaginarias De pensamiento bajo los velos de color verde azulado, Caballos blindados con brillantes ojos al atardecer, Dale una mirada pasajera. Divertidas criaturas con divertidas vidas plásticas, Los tronos morados se encuentran disfrazados, El mundo de Neptuno a nuestro alrededor miente. ¡Despierta! arriesgarse, subir a bordo, La vida está cambiando el suelo de los océanos, El tiempo está cerca, cuando nada está claro, No queda nada! Cayendo, solo estoy cayendo A la respuesta, a cada pregunta, ¿Es real o solo un engaño? Prueba, toca y encuentra, Lo que es, eso está en tu mente. La verdad puede ser tuya Así que déjalo venir Justo como lo hizo antes. Dolor, no hay mañana Y la respuesta, a cada pregunta del hombre, ¿Es real o solo un engaño? Prueba, toca y encuentra, Lo que es, eso está en tu mente. La verdad puede ser tuya Así que déjalo venir Justo como lo hizo antes. Pronto ahora Mientras la noche se convierte en día, Y las mentes salen a jugar En el sol. Siempre, Este sentimiento será tuyo Una sensación que no puedes ignorar Es el Has esperado Es el Lo has visto antes.

[@olivierbourdin5160]

Qu'est-ce que j'ai pu écouter ce morceau à l'époque ! On a dû user le vinyle !

[@marcinperlinski8932]

Ależ panowie potrafili połączyć piosenkowe granie z progresywnymi akordami. Pięknie się tych dźwięków słucha a jeszcze lepiej nuci. Bajka.

[@teedruide]

nektar. in bremen. in 1971. it was a great listening under dope.

[@KevinLopez-hg7zi]

12:05 One of my favorite parts of this album!

[@manueltfigueiredo1716]

Opera Rock, grande Banda Monstros do Rock

[@soqquadrocaos1018]

masterpiece

[@trangiepublic]

After Dark Side of the Moon it's the next best space album of the early seventies. Absolutely wonderful!!!

[@VoidPhantom0917]

Holy shit. 8:10 is the part that defines this song for me.

[@Elcaradverga2005]

how about 3:30?

[@aleandrei5841]

Un capolavoro!

[@ralikirsch]

Hard rockin' band, this one.

[@shamoodave]

This listen is for you, Sherman Hemsley.

[@trangiepublic]

Amazing prog rock track.The tab kicks in at 8:10 and peaks at 14:20

[@ianmacreth7906]

......unless you took it ahead if time......a Head of Time......Head......Time......Timehead.........uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@luizsergio6721]

How could they sound like a band that only appeared twenty years later ?

[@nyiar9599]

9:38 epic voice.

[@luizsergio6721]

It just can be the other way around ...

[@alistairhouston4655]

Musicianship, with egos reasonably in check

[@massimomarchesin8708]

Un po' di GENESIS era peter gabriel ,un po' di Pink Floyd Atom Heart mother,Meddle!!!!!!! Queste sono le fonti di ispirazione per questa straordinaria suite dei NEKTAR!!!!!

[@StefanReich]

9:27 !!

[@EtArcadiaego]

the riff of 8:10 sounds like the Death metal band Amorphis

[@VFella]

+EtArcadiaego In fact, Chuck Chuldiner was himself a great fan of Prog Rock and used a lot of the riffing and songwriting techniques in Death, and Prog Rock on their side, had taken these from Jazz.

[@abrahamgueret3014]

Enric Martinez theaD grateful Proga Rock andth used

[@MrSedaki]

A tab of what, exactly? Heh...

[@Colddeed]

Acid

[@Myanleader]

I hate the term progressive muziek, Lets keep it by symphonic

[@officialProject-X]

No. It's progressive
