Recycled - Remastered & Expanded

This new 5CD edition features a newly remastered version of the classic album "Recycled" by Nektar, which was originally released in October 1975. The album, a conceptual work addressing the concerns of pollution and environmental damage, 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 synthesizer player Larry Fast (of Synergy, who was later to work with Peter Gabriel).

The message of the album is arguably more pertinent now than it was at the time of its original release and remains one of Nektar's most highly regarded works. This digitally remastered and expanded edition includes 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 album "Recycled" was a commercial success, becoming another hit in Germany and the USA and spawning a long US and Canadian tour. This new 5CD set is a fine celebration of this progressive rock classic, featuring an illustrated book that complements the musical content.

In summary, this comprehensive 5CD set offers a meticulously curated collection that allows fans and newcomers alike to fully appreciate the artistic and thematic depth of Nektar's "Recycled." The remastered audio, rare mixes, and live recordings provide a rich and immersive listening experience, while the included book adds historical context and visual elements to this landmark progressive rock release.
