Recycled is the sixth album from English progressive rock band Nektar. It is a concept album addressing the band member's concerns about the environment. The songs on side one tell the tale of a nightmarish future in which only "recycled energy" remains, while the songs on side two revolve around more present-day concerns about tourism despoiling untouched wilderness.
Allmusic gave the album a mixed retrospective review. They criticized the album as lacking the instrumental prowess, enthusiasm, and band cohesion that the players had shown on Nektar's previous albums. However, they acknowledged that "What does hold strong is Nektar's ability to conjure up a science-fiction atmosphere through the unorthodox application of percussion, guitar, and keyboards."
All songs written and arranged by Nektar.
