Among Nektar fans, Remember the Future is regarded as their creative peak.
The album certainly creates the grounds for making that argument. Indeed, it is an ambitious work that is essentially one composition divided into two parts. The whole is performed in a very seamless and competent manner. Still, many critics just plain didn't get it. The juxtaposition of the two opinions makes this album to Nektar much like what Tales From Topographic Oceans was to Yes. The bottom line is that this is a fine progressive rock release that should please not only fans of the band, but fans of Yes and Genesis equally well
Side 1: Remember The Future (Part 1)
Side 2: Remember The Future (Part 2)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with moderate spindle traces - played but very well cared for
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and are unmarked apart from wispy light hairlines which have no audio consequence
VINYL Audio: MINT
Immaculate audio reproduction throughout with no imperfections of any kind - crystal clear and exceptionally clean sound - deep, rich, warm and finely detailed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
Crisp, sharp and fresh with little wear to speak of - just a soft bend to the back gatefold corner and a little back record impression but none of the heavy ring so common on this untreated cover
UA COMPANY INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
Again, clean, fresh and unmarked with no seam splits
