Nektar were an English band who were noticeably more successful in Europe than they were in the UK, particularly in Germany. They got together in Hamburg at the end of the 1960s apparently and worked and recorded in Germany, particularly on their earlier albums, which are pretty good examples of spacey prog. They continued to record and tour until the 1980s, I think and reformed in 2002, releasing a few albums and playing at prog festivals.
The band's original line-up was;
Roye Albrighton – guitars, vocals
Allan Freeman – keyboards, backing vocals, mellotron
Ron Howden – drums, percussion, backing vocals
Derek Moore – bass, vocals
A Tab In The Ocean was their second release and it came out in 1972.
Here it is in all its progtastic glory;
A Tab In The Ocean
Desolation Valley
Waves
Crying In The Dark
King Of Twilight

this sounds cool Carole, but I couldn't get "Waves" to download/play.....
Yeah, my player by-passed Waves too, Carole. Don't bust a gut on my behalf to fix it though, the whole thing was just TOO proggy for me. I could enjoy a track every so often I think, but otherwise ...
Waves works now, I cut off the first "h" of http.
It is only about 50 seconds long though.
thanks Carole. not sure how often i'll go back and listen but this worked beautifully with a rainy afternoon working from home today, proggy for sure but not TOO proggy for me....
