 KN> Nektar - Remember the Future, Recycled, Down to Earth 
 
 CR> Those first two you mention are fantastic.  _Recycled_ is my favorite. 
 CR> _Down To Earth_ is good, but it's lacking something. 
 
        But it's not as bad as many would lead one to expect. 
 
 KN> Shadowfax - Watercourse Way  - totally excellent album 
 
 CR> Wow!  Damn, I'd better check these guys out!  Stuart, you've got some, 
 CR> right? 
 
        Yeah, this album would be right up your alley, blow you 
        away and all that..... I guar-rohn-tee it, as Mike would 
        say, if he were pretending to be from Louisiana. 
 
 KN> However, their stuff on Windham 
 KN> Hill when they reformed in the 80's is, except for one 
 KN> track on their first WH album, mawkish crap 
 
 CR> Yeah, probably something similar to Pete Bardens' solo albums in the 
 CR> 90s, eh?  Or Focus' album from the 80s. 
 
        Not quite that bad, but the horn player does most of his 
        stuff on a lyricon, using that real supersweetened New 
        Age lyricon sound which sets my teeth on edge. And the 
        music was more like Muszac, a combination of music and 
        Prozac. Blech! Stick with the original band from 1976. It 
        came out on Passport Records. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
