Nektar is a 1970s English progressive rock band formed in Hamburg, Germany in 1969, members included Englishmen Roye Albrighton on guitars and vocals, Allan "Taff" Freeman on keyboards, Derek "Mo" Moore on Rickenbacker bass, Ron Howden on drums, and Mick Brockett on lights, special effects and other miscellania. Songwriting was always considered a group effort.
The band's early albums such as Journey to the Centre of the Eye, Sounds Like This and A Tab in the Ocean were obscure psychedelic rock albums that won the band a small but growing cult following, based largely on word of mouth. The last of those albums was the first Nektar album to be released in the U.S., on the small Passport Records label.
The Journey to the Centre of the Eye is a concept album with a huge influence of the psicodelic/progressive/space music that was growing since 1968-1969,and there are many complex songs in this album that show the influence of the band on the psicodelic(like countenance)
