Formed in Germany in 1969, Nektar favored extended compositions and concept albums over the constraints of pop. They were among the leaders of the progressive rock movement of the 1970s as well as the jam-band scene that arose in the late 1990s. Their sound traveled well to the States, where they enjoyed Top 40 success with \u201cA Tab in the Ocean\u201d<\/em> (1972) and \u201cRemember the Future\u201d<\/em> (1973). Nearly 20 albums later, the band\u2019s artistic and personal charisma has earned them masses of devoted fans along with their album \u201cThe Other Side\u201d<\/em> (2020) which was Number 1 on Amazon Progressive Music. For over half a century, Nektar has been the guiding star for countless fans, leading them on mesmerizing expeditions through the vast expanses of the cosmos and the depths of the ocean. With their unique fusion of progressive rock and stunning visuals, these trailblazing prog-rock legends have ignited the imaginations of generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nektar\u2019s latest release, Mission To Mars,<\/em> is the first in a trilogy and the first to feature new drummer, Jay Dittamo, alongside longtime members Ryche Chlanda (guitars, vocals), Kendall Scott (keyboards, synths), Maryann Castello (vocals) and original founding member Derek \u201cMo\u201d Moore (bass guitar, vocals). Nektar melded those aforementioned traits with the soothing mellowness and adventurous jamming of Camel, the Grateful Dead and Caravan. Nektar\u2019s knack for thought-provoking concepts and entrancing music has rarely wavered and is just as evident on Mission To Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c… Pink Floyd, alongside Hawkwind are typically seen as the top two artists when it comes to fusing prog rock with psychedelia and space rock. While it\u2019s hard to argue against those associations, it\u2019s equally tough to refute that fellow English ensemble Nektar… are close behind them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– <\/em>Jordan Blum, Loudwire.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe band\u2019s special brand of progressive, psych and blues rock, mixed with their legendary psychedelic-laden visual show during live performances, has been unmatched, even by legendary peers such as Pink Floyd, YES, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and many others who fall into the band\u2019s similar vein.\u201d

\u201cI will start by saying that Mission To Mars has got to be one of the best studio album recordings released by any legacy rockers this year, hands down.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band has just released a lyric video for the beautiful \u201cI\u2019ll Let You In,\u201d and as Mo and Ryche state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis song came to us very quickly and organically. It captures \u2018that\u2019 moment when you decide to share with someone your true self. How having the courage to be vulnerable can lead to deeper relationships and bring you closer to your higher power.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
