Das Prog-Album des Jahres ist zwar schon im März erschienen (Van der Graaf Generator - Trisector, dazu kommen vielleicht mal irgendwann ein paar Zeilen), trotzdem ist es schön, dass sich auch bei einem anderen Prog-Dino endlich wieder etwas zu tun scheint. Ich schreibe absichtlich „scheint“, denn wenn ich auf diesen Eintrag vom September 2007 verweise - in dem der Mann am Nektar-Merchandise hoffnungsvoll meinte, die neue CD werde „bis Weihnachten (er meinte letztes Jahr, nicht Weihnachten 2008) erscheinen -, bin ich natürlich vorsichtig, wenn mir irgendwelche Versprechungen gemacht werden. Trotzdem zitiere ich hier hoffnungsvoll die Meldung, die mir zum (angekündigten) Erscheinen des nächsten Nektar-Albums im Mai ins Postfach geflattert ist:
„Nektar - Book Of Days“
The Brand New Studio Album - Released 16 May 2008
Bacillus Records Catalog Nr. 9705425) affiliated to BELLAPHON records
They were known as the father time of Progressive Rock. Formed in 1970, the breakthrough for the all british band NEKTAR was not in their homeland, but in Germany (and the USA). With albums like "Remember The Future", "Down To Earth" and "Recycled" - (all 3 reaching Gold-Status) - they rocketed to one of the top acts of the 70's. Their shows back then are still talked about to this day which featured one of the best lightshows ever seen. After their huge success of the 70's/80's, the 90's were a quiet time for the band. In 2001 a new Nektar album appeared "The Prodigal Son" and since then the band have gone from strength to strength and are once again on the podium of one of the best bands on the international Prog scene.
A huge part of Nektars career can be afforded to their record company Bellaphon records who began with their debut album -"Journey To The Centre Of The Eye" including many records throughout the 70's including their Comeback-Album "The Prodigal Son". This was the starting point for the eventual release of further products from the band.
Exactly 4 years after their last album "Evolution" Friday May 16th 2008 sees the release of their new work "Book Of Days". 8 songs of full blown arrangements and intertwined with pure rock and soaring solos and beautiful ballads that only NEKTAR know how to do.
Already during their last Autumn tour 2007, parts of the new album were being performed, and press critics have hailed these as some of the best NEKTAR yet. After several changes in the bands "live" lineup, 2 of the original members remain Roye Albrighton (guitar/lead vocals) and Ron Howden (drums/vocals) together with 2 german musicians Klaus Henatsch (keyboards/vocals) and Peter Pichl (bass/vocals). With "Book Of Days" Nektar are starting a new chapter in their career.
Da freue ich mich drauf und hoffe, dass es wahr wird. Mehr zur Band unter http://nektarsmusic.com.
