“There were individual pieces, rather than one long piece, on the album, but the storyline still linked them together. We had a bunch of songs that we wrote, and we liked the idea of the circus. We went to ‘Circus Krone’ in Munich to take some of the pictures”: that’s how NEKTAR bassist Mo Moore outlined the gist of the band’s 1974 album in our interview earlier this year. Indeed, the musicians abandoned their previous space-based ideas for “Down To Earth” and made it appropriately warmer, with the help of such fellow travelers as P. P. Arnold and Robert Calvert. Recorded at Chipping Norton Studios in England, where its predecessor had been laid down too, it lacked the scope of 1973’s "Remember The Future" as a result, and fans didn’t value it as high, so now the time came to reassess the classic.
