"Book of Days" showcases Nektar's signature blend of progressive rock with rich sonic textures and intricate arrangements. The album features a dynamic range of instrumentation, including lush keyboards, soaring guitar solos, and rhythmic bass lines that create a vibrant soundscape. Tracks like "Over Krakatoa" and "King of the Deep" exhibit a driving energy with varied tempos, while "Lamorna" and "Doctor Kool" introduce more contemplative moments, allowing for atmospheric depth. The production quality is polished, enhancing the clarity of each instrument and vocal harmony. The dual tracks "Book of Days (Between the Lines)" and "Book of Days" serve as a thematic anchor, weaving together the album's explorative spirit with a cohesive narrative.

Artist Background: NEKTAR is probably the most German-like of the Seventies British bands, a fame that owes a lot to the town in which this band was founded (Hamburg) and to their stylistic approach (Assimilated to Krautrock). NEKTAR was formed in 1969 by Allan FREEMAN (keyboards & vocals), Roye Albrighton (guitars & vocals), Derek MOORE (bass, Mellotron & vocals) and Ron HOWDEN (drums). Their earliest albums were hard rock that drew heavily from the space-rock and PINK FLOYD styles of the same period. The 70's... Emerged in the 1960s era.
