Nektar Kickstarter Campaign

[Toothyspook]

My recall's not great, but was Roy wossifaced involved in the "Mirage" (Camel/Caravan) debacle in which no members were paid, and iirc prompted the writing of "Liar"?

Yes that's the guy. I did get my mirage cd off him after a long wait. But loads of promises went unfulfilled

[mochester]

Mo, was Mick involved with the lyric writing? I know he contributed in the past, but many never realized it.

Mick was always involved with lyrics, he and I wrote most of the lyrics. Remember the future the entire Take a trip back in time etc was Mick with minor input from me. He is fully integrated with this band and a very happy camper

a good 4 minutes of bits from the new CD. If your on the fence this might put you over. They still need about $8,000 to make this happen.

Just woke up to find this on their Facebook page.
I was amazed how they captured the early 70's vibes on the recording and performances. Good stuff, hoping they reach their goal. I'm in for the vinyl.

Wow!!! That's simply awesome!

[Kanukisbrave]

Looks like $6,000 in 10 days is still needed. Hope they make it.

[Kanukisbrave]

$5572 still needed, listen to the link (message #33), and be the judge. It would be nice for the bands morale I would think if this didn't have to come right down to the wire...

[mochester]

Glad you liked the clips. It will sound even better when it is mixed properly. Hope to do that in September if the kickstarter funds us. Note we will get nothing at all if it does not completely fund the $28,000 we need $5547 to fund it. What do you think guys, let all of your friends know. We have to make this happen for all of our other plans to fall into place. You, our fans, will be the beneficiary. We will bring a great show to wherever you are. We intend to tour everywhere including small 100 - 200 seat venues to make the experience even more intense. Mick is ramping up his lightshow - some of it digital some of it liquid but moving over to digital slowly. If you are coming to Progstock, hold on to your hats, you are in for a great ride. Love you guys, thanks for keeping the fan light burning - you are what this album and tour are all about

I'm on a budget, but just HAD to get the vinyl version, it just seeeemed right. And I dream of the day of holding the actual album in my hands, admiring the artwork and knowing I helped just a little bit makes the journey even sweeter.

Hey Mo (nyuck, nyuck, nyuck) I am totally psyched about this. Really looking forward to it, and the tour.
