01 Recycle
call me down, the time is here
reminding you to slow the wheel
now, nearing the end of the day
look, never a moment too soon, or late
count the hours, the weeks, the days
forcing natures' slow decay
here, as we look down on you there
you, falling on into your webs of despair
man! you had it all your own way
now, salvaging blocks of decay
clean the scene
change machines!
02 Cybernetic Consumption
[instrumental]
03 Recycle Countdown
talk away, the die is cast
all the day, the reasons last
just look what is happening here
see, never a day without fear... it's here
call me down, I have to share
before the world I stand declared
hear these words at the end of the day
come never a moment too soon, or late
man! you've had it all your own way
now, salvaging blocks of decay
clean the scene
change machines!
04 Automaton Horrorscope
"Webs of concrete, giving off waste dust that
marks the search of an age of a thousand vast
empires, sweeping away legends untold to
human ears. While shafts of steel clutch the
stars, natural supplies... once numerous...
now lapse into eerie silence. Recycled energy
becomes the only form of life, as it was, and
now new forms are moulded from patterns
already used in a struggle to survive!"
you had me thinking that I'd lost my mind
but no, it was you
thought you'd make it to a better time
'til now, but it's through
your castles made of sand
hold out your helpless hands
going down down down down down down down
they take it all, then take much more... today
no man could ever realize his mistakes
they'll help you one step down
sit back, and watch you drown
going down down down
going down down down down down down
05 Recycling
here, there, new wonders gently steal
disguise distorted like moonlit seas
and I see... you've taken all you need
queue up, don't fear
there's mans new fortune here... you hear
song-birds, recycling the same old tune
still you slave onwards, 'til all is used
though I'll see... you'll get the life you need
queue up, don't fear
it's the man who brought you here... you hear
06 Flight to Reality
you live in stainless forts
with glass walls around
flight against recources
with your head in the ground
a nations urgent need fulfils anothers greed
going down down down down down down down
fly across the concrete jungle
high in the clouds
looking up to crystal mountains
standing so proud
no need to wonder why, nature slowly dies
going down down down
going down down down down down down down

The Best of the Best!!! When the magic of the music was the Rock!!!!!
One night when this album was released I was sitting with a close friend drinking a bunch of beers in Kingston Ontario Canada listening to the radio at two in the morning when the DJ puts this on. I couldn't believe what I was listening too. This just blew me away. Next day went out and bought the album. Years later bought the CD. I have been playing this off and on ever since. Never ever got tired of this. I am so thankful to that DJ that I heard this that night. Most of all, thank you Nektar!!
Bought a case of 8 Track tapes from someone in the mid 70s and it was loaded with prog rock this was in there...listened to em all and this one was a gem...
Man I discovered a vinyl of this at a antique shop one day and I swear to God this shit is amazing
Masterpiece!!!
very good...................................
Fucking epic! A mind-blowing prophetic masterpiece. This needs more recognition and respect.
roye albrighton....RIP
love the art work the music is awesome also.
Mind blown. 1975? Crazy
My best friend had heard Nektar's Remember the Future album one night on WNEW and then bought the album and played it for me. We were then permanently hooked on Nektar. That was the summer of 1975. The 2nd concert we ever saw was Nektar's Recycled tour in White Plains NY in June of 1976. We've been following their tours ever since including the last one in 1979 and the regrouping at the Nearfest in 2002. We've saw every show during the early 2000 start up and hung out with them several times. We still go to see them and we just saw them again 2 weeks ago. Long live Nektar and their music. RIP Roye. You were great.
I bought this new in 1975 at Kelly`s records on Granville St. Vancouver B. C. Still `gotta luv` this album, Their best release.
My brothers and I staged our own version of this album, upstairs in my bedroom complete with smoke, props and colored lights. Along with Genesis, Nektar set the tone for my early teens music trends.
An incredible, ahead of it's time piece of music!
I had the great pleasure of meeting these guys in 1975 when they played Calgary, AB. Mt friend and I were producing a local (read cablecasting) music program at the time and Nektar and Mr Fast were gracious enough to come in to be interviewed. Very nice bunch of gentlemen.
Man, a blast from the past. I feel like I'm 16 again.
Killer. Nektar. First lp i got into cause i was born in 70 n tab in ocean. But im metal head as well of course
My favorite Nektar album and one of my favorite albums of all time. A prog masterpiece from start to finish.
I first stumbled on Nektar in '76, "Remember the Future". I was hooked, went out and bought everything I could by them.I was lucky enough to see them live about 7 or 8 times,in N.Y.C. and Long Island. When Recycled came out, I bought It site unheard it blew me and a few friends away. That is how I discovered Synergy (Larry Fast) he is great too. They played a Recycled show on long Island and the light show and music were so good that the local "head paper' said and I quote...."their music is of such power grace and substance that they deserve to be playing to much larger audiences"!! It is a shame they never got much bigger than they did. I consider myself lucky to have seen those shows. They are 'head ' music and their early recordings are good too.his comes from a 61 year old ex-stoner who how listens to Enya she has good stuff too, Wild Child being a good song to hear. Her CD "A Day without Rain" is really good. One of her best songs is "On My Way Home" is mellow but very beautiful worth spending your $$$ on.
Also saw them in NYC and several times at my fathers place on Long Island. The recycled show with Larry fast was killer. Unreal
Nektar started in my birth-town Hamburg. I saw them and sat with them in Neumünster in about 1970. That night the band was introduced to the "bee sucking the headless man with the skeleton guitar. I do not understand why they got so little recognition... Still LOVE every (memorized) note! Dedicating this to my brother in arms Sean Tzu!!
A. v. Gimbut yeah they never got the recognition but this is amazing I'm 63 and NEVER tire of this. Epic album
Wow and I do mean Wow , I havn't heard this album for over 30 years I had it when i was kid.. O man it brings back memories Thanks for putting it up,This was one of my favorites
Total flashback! This and McKendree Spring and Olias of Sunhillow. What a trippy summer that was...
Yeah, a weird film plays in my head of how insane life must have been 1975/1976 compared to now. I feel as though you could just go to a park in 1976, bring an acoustic guitar and write some trippy music. The vibe/energy is all wrong these days. Really wish I could have seen the mid '70s. Just reading your comment freaks me out. Olias is weird, Moraz' "Story of I" was also another psychotic album around that time.
But McKendree Spring, I've never heard. I'll have to look it up. Thanks for mentioning.
Wow is right! Thanks for posting. I remember seeing them in some theatre in White plains back in the 70's. After watching HBO Rock and roll hall of fame I started reminiscing, but couldn't remember this band for the life of me. It took a few days and a few glasses of wine before it finally clicked. Like others have said, it has been like 30 years.
That was the RKO theater. It was the last show ever played there because one of their pyrotechnics cut a girls neck. They must've got sued. It was a cool little place to see concerts.
I just saw them tonight at BB Kings in NYC, was fun... nice long jamming version of Recycled... got a nice foto with Roy and Ron is still with the band too.
an album for the ages....immortal!!
bringing up old memories
I just picked this album up yesterday at my local vinyl shop for $8.
Very happy I did, a master class of prog rock.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
Nektar sounds a lot like their contemporary Genesis at about 9:53 for a few minutes, and Roye and Peter Gabriel sound very close.
one of best albums ever
This creepy part 6:48 always reminded me of Future Legend, from Bowie's Diamond Dogs.
The first side of this album ("Recycled, Part One") is 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7. It's a continuous suite, and part 7 is missing here
Like people who read the paper for pictures or playboy for the articles; I listen to this album for the computerized voice in Minute 12! I have loved it since 1977. Even more now!
Saw this done live when it came out with Larry fast on the big polymoog.in NYC fantastic
If you sync this album with the animated movie "Fantastic Planet" it's even better than 'Dark Side Of The Rainbow'
The perfection of Boston's first album is here. The songs, licks and production are incredible!
Wow.. Overdosed on Through the Ears back in the early 70's, Great band. Elmer Dinse turned me on to this form of genius. How totally weird that I was just thinking of Cher on Letterman and the column to the right has it featured on "Try something new" . . . Does anyone remember seeing Tommy Smothers on Letterman/Cavett/? with Tiny Tim and getting weirded out?
Searching for the best to ad to the collection. I'll ad a wow.. WOW! What can you say that's not a trite superlative??? Masterful musicians. Why doesn't google / you tube improve their sound quality????
a great recording
thanks
One of my favourite of all times. This is one of the most challenging drum orchestrations and I challenge all my children to learn it as it really develops skills and endurance. Cool! Thanks alot for the post. Really brought back memories.I might actually start using the tracks I developed to build endurance in some students.
this and drugs changed my life(well fucked up a good bit of it tbh) but wow awesome memories
Smoking and tripping on this is not user advised. A total brain reset might happen. We listen to this during bayonet training!
far 0ut :) QC
Thank Christ. The original mix! All other versions of this prog masterpiece posted currently on BoobTube are sacrilege. One is summed to MONO and has God awful phase coherency issues. The other is the WORST, MOST F*CKING CLUELESS REMIX I have ever heard in my life. It's like the Helen Keller remix. No really. Shameful.
