NEKTAR
The four Englishmen who formed the initial incarnation of Nektar met in Germany and formed the band
there in 1969. For a little while in the early to mid-'70s, it seemed like they might take American rock
by storm, but that was mostly hype, and by 1975 their big moment had already passed, although
they lingered on until the end of the decade and have re-formed in the new millennium,
recording several new CDs and appearing at various progressive music festivals

A Tab in the Ocean mirrors Nektar's first album, but only to a certain degree. While their sound still
basks in lengthy keyboard passages and fantastic lyrics, the psychedelia is traded in for
a more directional and established approach, with longer tracks and a tighter progressive
structure. There's an obvious cohesiveness between the guitar and keyboard tandem,
with an attempt at shaping a concept through the album's five tracks. Both the title track
and the 19 minutes of "King of Twilight" are Tab in the Ocean's best examples of Nektar's
maturing process, with sleek instrumental runs that taper off into the lyrics as opposed
to a more improvised feel that surrounded their last album...(AllMusic)
