It's funny to see how Remember The Future always comes out as one's
favourite album. I always liked Recycled and Journey To The Centre Of The
Eye better (both concept albums - one long track).
Recycled is about, as you might have guessed, Earth pollution (in 1975!). A
pure progressive rock album - which is why many Hawkwind fans might like RTF
better.
Journey To The Centre Of The Eye compares a journey in space to a journey on
the inside of the eye. The lyrics fit the music - 1971 Krautrock. More
psychedelic than Recycled. I think HW fans who like RTF should take a listen
to this one as well.
Last thing I learned about Roye Albrighton, Nektar's guitarist, is that Roye
thinks Recycled is Nektar's best album. He loves RTF, but Recycled is
marvellous...
