Nektar - Cybernetic Consumption, Recycle Countdown, Automaton Horrorscope, Flight To Reality, São Paulo Sunrise and Costa del Sol
From the English (Formed in Hamburg, West Germany by expats from England) Progressive rock band’s sixth album, “Recycled” (1975)
Whereas the band’s previous five albums had a space age science fiction theme, this album’s inspiration draws from a far more “earthly” subject. To quote Wikipedia: “It is a concept album addressing the band members’ concerns about the environment. ‘Part One’ (of the album) tells the tale of a nightmarish future in which only ‘recycled energy’ remains, while ‘Part Two’ revolves around more present-day concerns about tourism despoiling untouched wilderness.”
The songs mentioned above are in fact sub-tracks from two full songs on the album, both labeled as the aforementioned “Part One” and “Part Two”.
