"Fortyfied" showcases Nektar's signature blend of progressive rock and symphonic elements, characterized by lush, layered instrumentation and intricate arrangements. The album features a rich tapestry of sound, with soaring synthesizers, melodic guitar lines, and dynamic drumming that shift between energetic tempos and more contemplative passages. Tracks like "Cryin' In The Dark" and "Desolation Valley" highlight the band's ability to create immersive sonic landscapes, while "Dream Nebula" and "King Of Twilight" offer a more ethereal quality, with gentle crescendos and atmospheric textures. The production is polished, allowing each instrument to shine, creating a cohesive yet diverse listening experience that captures the essence of the band's progressive ethos.

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.
