Nektar - Recycled [5CD] (CD Box Set)

First released in October 1975, Recycled was a conceptual work about the concerns of the impact of pollution and environmental damage to the earth, and was recorded at the Chateau d'Herouville in France and at AIR Studios in London with sessions engineered by Geoff Emerick.

The album was also significant for the guest appearance of synthesiser player Larry Fast (of Synergy, who was later to work with Peter Gabriel). Recycled became another hit in Germany and the USA and spawned a long US and Canadian tour. The message of the album is arguably more pertinent than it was at the time of its original release and remains one of Nektar's most highly regarded works.

This new 5CD edition features a newly remastered version of the album along with two rare single edits, a discarded early mix of the album by Geoff Emerick and an additional three CDs of live recordings from concerts at Massey Hall, Toronto and Calderone Concert Hall in Long Island on the band's 1976 Recycled tour. The set also features an illustrated book and is a fine celebration of a progressive rock classic.
