Progressive Rock found its footing in the late ’60s chiefly from UK and other European countries that championed the challenge of intricate compositions. One of them were the German band, Nektar. Formed in 1969, but they released their first classic album, Journey To The Centre Of The Eye in 1971. It was followed up by two more sets until Remember The Future (1973) was released collecting fans especially in the US. It gave Nektar the open door needed to express their talents.
On November 24, Esoteric Recordings revisits the classic with a stuffed 4CD/BD Box of Remember The Future. With its 50th Anniversary up this year, this makes the reissue a welcomed one indeed among fans. This set will provide a new remaster of the original along with new 5.1 Surround and Stereo mixes to complement the set. The Quad mix from 1973 will be included as well as a full live concert from January of 1974 from Stadthalle, in Munster, Germany. Bonus tracks are included along with a detailed booklet.
Blu-ray video content will provide promo videos, selected live concert footage from Old Grey Whistle Test as well as the film – “Wings”.
