The original two-part recording of "Remember the Future," is followed by a live rendition, although no information is provided in the album notes, concerning the date or location. The album soared through the Billboard charts amid substantial global visibility and impressive sales.

Depending on who you ask, this is either Nektar's greatest or worst album. As Albrighton explained later, it was the band's attempt to re-invent itself as someone else – like the Magical Mystery Tour. Old fans were appalled; but as the first album to get much airplay in the U.S., it brought in new fans who found it by far their most accessible work. Its progressive and funk elements are set around a demented circus theme, with the songs introduced by a loony Teutonic ringmaster.

Sunday Night at London Roundhouse was recorded on Sunday 25th, November 1973. The remastered version features an expanded release of the complete concert. The live in the studio jam that was side 2 of the original vinyl album was removed from this recording and released as a separate CD with the rest of the tracks recorded that night called "Unidentified Flying Abstract." The Dream Nebula release has been remixed from the original 16–track master tapes by Paschal Byrne, Mark Powell and Roye Albrighton. Remember The Future Part 1 was finally complete and was performed live for the very first time during this show.

New age sensation Diane Arkenstone came from a varied musical background before focusing her career on Celtic music in the 1990s. Trained as an opera singer, Arkenstone experimented with punk, heavy metal, and folk music until she co-formed the duo Enaid & Einalem with a musician friend named Melanie. While with the duo, she married like-minded musician David Arkenstone and formed the label Neo Pacifica with him. She broke out on her own to make meditative music in 2001, but several other projects developing around the time reflected her love of rock and Celtic music as well. ~ Bradley Torreano
