Nektar + Brainticket + Huw Lloyd-Langton

An English prog-rock band originally based in Hamburg, Germany, Nektar never leapt to the top of the art-school heap, but its best material from the early ’70s (like "A Tab in the Ocean") still has a solid kick not unlike that of Genesis of the same vintage. Joining the group for its latest celestial excursions are Brainticket, a vaguely inexplicable European space-rock combo, and long-departed Hawkwind founder Huw Lloyd-Langton.
