NEKTAR Recycled (2019 US 11 track reissue of the 1977 release pressed onSplatter Blue /Yellow On Clear, picture sleeve w fold out illustrated lyric insert picture sleeve. Still in factory shrink with hype sticker, vinyl NM condition. The cover is pure vintage prog: a surreal, dystopian industrial landscape packed with machinery, smokestacks and bizarre futuristic imagery — artwork that perfectly matches the album’s concept of overconsumption, pollution and a world literally being “recycled.” It’s the kind of gatefold-era artwork you can stare at while the record spins and keep finding new details. Musically, Recycled is Nektar at their most ambitious — spacey progressive rock, psychedelic guitar, swirling keyboards, heavy riffs and long interconnected passages that play almost like one continuous piece. Think Pink Floyd atmosphere meets Yes-style prog with a heavier, cosmic edge. Features the fan favorite “Recycled” suite and the second-side “Sao Paulo Sunrise” sequence.
