Symphony with a 'wa-wa'.......2007-07-24
I'm glad to have this in my collection, but disappointed that my 18 year old son had no more interest in listening to anything more than a clip than I did for listening to some guy screaming quick-time. Some things never change.
"Confusion"? Not if you get the remaster with bonus tracks!.......2007-07-16
The answer is yes. Those that pose the question if I get a remastered copy of Remember The Future with the bonus single edit can I hear Roye's guitar? Thankfully, the latest version sounds the way the original album was intended for the listener.
This is one of the finest examples of progressive music ever crafted. Nektar's uncanny ability to mix their style of rock and roll with intense improvisational pieces is once again unveiled here.
Roye Albrighton's guitar-playing is stunning, Mo's bass is tremendous, Ron's drums excel and Taff picks his stops on the keys. The vocals are flawless.
Although thought of as two long pieces Remember The Future Part 1 and 2, the album has plenty of subdivisions to keep the journey exhilarating. Take a trip back in time
Life evolving growing higher
Not just space that bluebird sees
in the sea a new domain
The opening passage sets the tone for the bombardment of your senses. Lyrical and instrumentation can rarely reach this level. As we travel further the words intensify.
I was the first to see it all when the rainbow
crossed the bridge at dawn
Forty billion miles I came to tell this
Tale already told
When side two emanates from the speakers listen carefully to the section the band refers to as ""Bluebird" > "Smile" > "Lonely Roads." It's diversity and complexity is nothing short of extraordinary.
There are record albums and there are masterpieces preserved for the future to help us remember it.
Enjoy the music and be well,

Great Nektar album.......2007-05-22
Musically, the suite alternates between more "rocking" sections with hard edged electric guitar riffing atop an ostinato played in unison on the bass guitar and organ and more relaxed and spacey sections. I am reminded somewhat of the German prog band Eloy circa 1973-1974 during the psychedelic jams on Remember the Future - the group really cooks on these jam sessions.
The sound quality of this recording is excellent. This is especially noteworthy because there are a few copies of this album floating around that are pretty poor sounding. Trust me, stick with this Bellaphon release. The bonus tracks consist of two radio promos that consist of excerpts from the Remember the Future suite. Both are pretty good and do not sound like fragments.
All in all, this is a great album of psychedelic rock with some symphonic prog flourishes here and there. Recommended along with Recycled (1975) and two Eloy albums including Inside (1973) and Floating (1974).
Nektar CD - Remember The Future.......2007-01-16
WHAT?? PROG ROCK?? Incredibly Dated/Overrated !!.......2006-10-20
Seems the entertainment industry will REMASTER ANYTHING just to resell it.
DON'T get too excited about "Remember The Future".
I owned this recording in the 70's.
Purchased Recently and found it very D R Y!!
SAVE YOR MONEY
If you feel you really need this, look in the cut-out bins
and find it for $1.00
STEP BACK INTO THE 70'S
It's one of those "You had to be there" recordings,
Unless you are still living in the early 70's...
INCREDIBLY DATED!!
Period dated wah-wah guitar with tracks flowing into one another..
Every track on this recording is light, thin, practiclly hollow...
A bit TOO hollow for the high-end audio gear of the 70's!
Can't really rate this album as "Prog Rock". Can't be compaired to prog like Pink Floyd, Brand X or even "Maggot Brain".
Can't rate it as "Head Music" like Steve Harley either...
MATERIAL CONTENT
Does not contain any melodic riffs or lyrical content that would stick with you. Hippy orientated cover art is interesting however DATED.
GREAT MUSIC for pets and/or plants!
Don't play it at your party-
Will put all to sleep OR it will confuse
everyone that is younger than yourself!

Listen to the crowd, this one's great.......2007-01-21
Note: If you like the theme as much as I did, check out his score to "Just Visiting" too, the tune appears there in an earlier form, and the final track on that score album is a pop song arrangement of it that makes for a great listen.
4.5 Stars for Paycheck.......2006-01-31
Man, am I glad I did. This is action packed, joyous, heart-pounding music that's actually more in the vein of North by Northwest than The Italian Job. If you normally avoid techno scores, go ahead and buy this one, which is John Powell's finest score to date. Techno is too unfair a label to put on this one - "brilliance" is much closer.

All action, all the time. . ........2005-08-18
Basically, this is John Powell's best score to date, not counting his collaborations with Harry Gregson-Williams. There's really nothing bad on here, but at the end it doesn't come together as anything more than the sum of its parts; it doesn't really afford a terribly satisfying listening experience. This score is action music all the way through, ranging from good to great. Highlights include the staccato stringwork in "20 Items" and "Future Tense," the brilliant "Hog Chase, Part 2," and "Fait Accompli." This is distinctive, energetic stuff (that for some reason that I can't put my finger on occasionally reminded me of Morricone. Maybe I'm crazy.), and no track is disappointing, but while it's engaging the whole way through, there's not really enough substantial music to really gel it all together, and you're not likely to be humming any of this stuff after you've listened to the CD.
So yes, this is an enjoyable CD, and a fine starting point if you're looking to get a taste of John Powell's music. It's got some very good action music, but little else. Fun, but not entirely satisfying, so I'd give it 3.5 stars.
Very Distinctive.......2004-08-17
If I was in charge at MGM James Bond, I'd sack the current Bond composer David Arnold, right away and put Powell in Arnold's place. The man is terrific. Buy his stuff people :)
Overall boombastic action score.......2004-06-09
Basically, it's very much a very boombastic action score, with a few cues given during the course of the score enough time for the listener to breathe.
Some of the highlights include tracks 7 & 8, the "Hog Chase" cues. Part 2 (Track 8) most certainly gives a "Bondian" kind of feel to the overall remix of "Rachel's Theme" (Track 14). Powell basically gives a David Arnold feeling with the "Hog Chase" cues.
"Future Tense", track 11, is a "suite" of sorts, basically remixing tracks 2, 3, 4 and 7 (among others) into it's own cue, and it works out well. "Fait Accompli", the track that follows it, is more slower-paced, and works very well.
Of course, we get "The Finger" (track 13), which is the shortest cue on the entire score (:33).
The score wraps up with "Rachel's Party". A slow-paced version of the theme that dominates almost every cue before it. However, I think the placement for this track is odd, it should be a bit earlier in the score.
Also, tracks 5 and 6 should've actually been one full track (as track 5 ends, it continues onto track 6), and can be jarring to some people, especially people who listen to the tracks in random order.
Overall, if you want a very good action score with enough cues to keep your toes tapping, John Powell's "Paycheck" is for you. It most certainly compensates for the sub-par movie it's scored for.

One Song is Really Good.......2006-02-23
The rest of the songs are unobtrusive. "Way it goes" (which is very similar in style to the Wallflowers "Closer to You") is great to listen to while writing poetry. The electronic muffled beat adds a sort of "trapped emotions within the syncopated rhythm of the heartbeat's unforgivingly ordinary tempo of life" sort of a feel. Although I like this song very much, it sort of doesn't go anywhere but it's still a 4-5 star song.
Gorgeous and breathy.......2004-07-30
Que surpris!
This EP is better than it deserves to be and is so sonically gorgeous that it will melt into your brain for days after listening. I've heard people mistakenly call this brand of pop on this EP as "emo". Shame, shame.
Neo-psychedelic trappings that swirl around conventional pop mechanisms. You will hear overdubs, overlapping guitars, piano-balladry (without being maudlin) and solid melodies. Lyrics add to the melancholy, sadness, joy... (or is it the other way around?) Sharky might not have the delivery or urgency that the old Creeper provided with Ian and company, but it works as a mantra for new directions and sounds for the band. Somehow in my own brain, several tracks remind me of a better and more obtuse Brit-pop, like Coldplay and Travis.
"The Way It Goes" haunts me the most, but all tracks are solid. Listen closely and absorb well. Re...

Phenomenon- you can tell that this one was meant to be the street single, if anything.
Remember The Future- The title track is actually two songs in one. Both are good, but the 2nd one with the Rakim sample is a lot nicer.

Muy poco para recordar.......2004-03-17
El disco consta de un solo largo tema dividido en dos partes llamado...Remember The Future. La primera parte es ligeramente superior, con algunos pasajes interesantes, sobre todo hacia el final cuando entra la guitarra y el ritmo se acelera, pero en general son casi 17 minutos progresivos sin mucha invención, con una instrumentación convencional y muy poco brillo.
La segunda y más extensa parte tiene un par de minutos vibrantes hacia la mitad, pero el resto es francamente para el olvido, sobre todo el final, en el que el grupo ataca con ritmos funk absolutamente fuera de contexto. Está bien no repetirse e intentar hacer algo diferente, pero ese no era el camino.
Respecto a la supuesta y legendariamente nefasta mezcla del disco, no puedo decir mucho, ya que no sé como suena en su versión original de vinilo, y a lo mejor perjudica bastante el sonido. Pero esto no es magia, y por mucha intervención negativa que se haya hecho, Remember seguirá siendo lo que es en cien años, con todas las remasterizaciones y mejoras por inventar.
They practically ruined a great album..........2003-07-27
originally a very fine work. I'll let it be known that whoever
did this crappy remastering job turned down the guitar so far
that you can't even hear it when the rest of the band is playing,
and barely can hear it when it's the only instrument.
The keyboards and vocals are all I can hear for about all of it.
I just wish I'd have read the other reviews before I got all
enthusiastic and bought the damn thing. It's really disappointing
to want to hear a record like this (a really good one),
and then when you play it - it's been drastically altered,
for the worse.
