REMEMBER THE FUTURE

The opening of this classic 1974 concept album is particularly catchy and powerful; it's one of my favorite pieces of prog. The rest of the record doesn't disappoint either -- far from it!

This is truly essential progressive rock, with the emphasis more on the "rock" side of the equation. If you don't know the terrific music of Nektar, you should, and this disc would be a great place to start! DOWN TO EARTH and RECYCLED (also concept albums -- see my reviews) are also enthusiastically recommended.

Warm up the lava lamp, crank up the hi fi, and TURN IT UP!
