Blake,Tim Crystal Machine: Remastered & Expanded Edition CD

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the classic 1977 ambient masterpiece Crystal Machine by Tim Blake. Tim first came to prominence as a member of Gong where his synthesizer experimentation and mastery was demonstrated on albums such as Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You. He would also join Hawkwind from 1979 - 1980 and from November 2007. Now regarded as a truly pioneering work, this edition of Crystal Machine has been newly remastered and includes three bonus tracks. 'Surf' was recorded in 1976 at Chateau d'Herouville studios in France and issued as a very rare single under the pseudonym Saratoga Space Messengers. The reissue also includes both sides of the rare Spanish single 'Synthese Intemporel' as bonus tracks.
