JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EYE

"Although my mind is gently weeping" cries NEKTAR from their absolutely stunning Kraut-Rock'ish materpiece of 1971. "Journey To The Centre Of The Eye" is just that and lands with perfection in my opinion carrying some of NEKTAR most treasured musical moments. "Journey..." is in a slightly different vein from later NEKTAR albums, delivering more of a psychedelic/underground flavour. "Journey..." is a wonderful conceptual work of art which really feels like you are on a journey to the centre of an eye. As usual musicanship and song writing is superb with a nice compliment of instruments including the beloved Mellotron! "Journey..." has amazing guitar playing on it throughout and I love the spacey grooves that they get into... some very memorable treasures here. Countenance is the 3rd tracks and in my opinion is one of the greatest prog rock pieces they ever wrote! In my opinion "Journey..." is essential progressive rock...!
