 Instead, this second studio work is probably the best achievement of Nektar's career; it is curious to note that numerous reissues have made modifications to the original tracklist.

 Their best legacy is probably this "A Tab In The Ocean", from 1972, a valid blend of "sunny" progressive rock that touches more atmospheric shores.
