As Tim himself declares: "It's interesting to note that we are now 40 years on from 'Crystal Machine's' release, and 45 Years of me working on electronique creations outside of GONG and HAWKWIND". This UK born keyboardist based himself in France as a sound and light artist at the start of his career way back in 1970. Some associate him most for his numerous work with renowned bands GONG and HAWKWIND. He first came to prominence as a member of GONG where his synthesiser experimentation and mastery was demonstrated on albums such as: 'Flying Teapot', 'Angel's Egg' and 'You'. After departing GONG in 1975 he teamed up with French lighting designer Patrice Warrener to form Crystal Machine, pioneering the use of lasers and synthesisers in a live setting. They performed under this moniker numerous times, enchanting and enthralling audiences. On occasion, French keyboardist Jean-Philippe Rykiel participated in these concerts, particularly in his formative years. Tim Blake then joined HAWKWIND from 1979 - 1980. However, it is as an electronic music solo artist that TIM BLAKE made a name for himself. The first solo album: 'Crystal Machine' was released in 1977 using the name that keyboard and light effects aficionados first knew him for after his work with lights expert Patrice Warrener. In 1978 he followed that up with his second solo effort, the classic: 'Blake's New Jerusalem', and Jean-Philippe Rykiel made contributions to that album on synthesizers. The 1980's was a barren period as far as solo recordings from Tim Blake was concerned, but in 1991 he returned with his third full album effort: 'Magick'. Another nine years would pass before the fourth solo effort: 'The Tide Of The Century' saw the light of day when issued in 2000. The final regular solo album by Tim Blake came in 2002, in the shape of: 'Caldea Music II'. Blake's career was put on hold in 2004, when he suffered serious injuries in a car accident, but in 2007 he had recovered and decided to hook up once more with long time associates HAWKWIND. TIM BLAKE: CRYSTAL MACHINE 'Crystal Machine' features the original cosmic crusader with an amazing Remastered re-issue packed with his brand of Cosmic, Psychedelic Electronic Music featuring the swirling synthesizers, guitars, sequencers some vocals and the other electronic effects he became famous for. This album and it's follow-up LP: 'New Jerusalem' influenced many other future artists and bands who delved into the realms of space rock, as they took on influences of Blake's ultimate and groundbreaking style of cosmic music that he took off into a new dimension in the late 70's. 'Crystal Machine' was originally released on vinyl LP in 1977 on the Egg label, then on CD for the first time in year 2000 by the French Mantra label and again in 2002 on the UK based Voiceprint label, but this 2017 edition in the first properly Remastered version to be released on CD, and with 3 Bonus Tracks. 'Crystal Machine' originally featured two pieces recorded live in the UK and in France. Now regarded as a truly pioneering work, this edition of 'Crystal Machine' has been Newly Remastered and now includes 3 Bonus Tracks: 'Surf' was recorded in 1976 at Chateau d'Herouville studios in France and issued as a (now very rare) Single under the pseudonym Saratoga Space Messengers. This reissue also includes both sides of the rare Spanish single 'Synthese Intemporel' as Bonus Tracks. The accompanying booklet features a New Essay and fully restores the Original Album Artwork. Track List: 01. Midnight (7:40) 02. Metro / Logic (8:07) 03. Last Ride Of The Boogie Child [Seasalter Free Festival - 1976] (9:43) 04. Synthese Intemporel [Le Palace Theatre Paris - 18/02/1977] (19:30) 05. Crystal Presence (3:11) 06. Surf [A-side of Single - Credited To Saratoga Space Messengers] * Bonus Track * 07. Synthese Intemporel I [A-side of Single released in Spain - Previously Unreleased on CD] * Bonus Track * 08. Synthese Intemporel II [B-side of Single released in Spain - Previously Unreleased on CD] * Bonus Track * TIM BLAKE: NEW JERUSALEM 'New Jerusalem' was originally released on vinyl LP in 1978 on the Egg label, then on CD for the first time in year 2000 on the French Mantra label and again in 2002 on the UK based Voiceprint label, but this 2017 edition in the first properly Remastered version to be released on CD, and with 3 Bonus Tracks. Now regarded as a truly pioneering work, this edition of 'Blake's New Jerusalem' has been Newly Remastered and includes 3 Bonus Tracks that are Previously Unreleased on CD: 'The Woodland Voice' (B-side of the 'Generator Laser Beam' single) plus 'From Outta Space' and 'Jupiter To Jerusalem' - home demos recorded at the time of the album and released on the cassette: 'Waterfalls From Space'. The accompanying booklet features a New Essay and fully restores the Original Album Artwork. The original 'New Jerusalem' album is regarded by many as 'classic', and it's rightly deserves that accolade, because it is a truly great album, albeit that two thirds of it happens to be of that ilk! It starts with Blake extolling the virtues of the 'new age' over a backing of strummed acoustic guitars and synthesizers, then we enter nearly seven minutes of: 'Lighthouse', a track later to become a stage favourite during his times with HAWKWIND, and a track that, for the first three minutes, works superbly with swooping synths, shimmering glissando guitars and oodles of cosmic music. But then his almost spoken word vocal begins, and things take a bit of downward spiral, giving you the sense that if only he'd shut up you'd be listening to a space synth masterpiece! The short: 'Generator' is a pop-synth crossover piece with bouncy rhythms, swooping synthesizers and a sort of punk-synth vocal that leads into this rather cheesy lead keyboard mid-section. This first-half is salvaged, or as good as, by the seven-minute plus instrumental: 'Passage Sur La Cite? {Des Revelations}' which, with its strong sequencers and truly immaculate cosmic synths flowing all over the place a se! ries of lead melodies and soundscapes that, for the first time on the album really are seriously uplifting. Then, the 'piece de resistance' comes in the form of the title track - an eighteen-minute masterpiece where synthesizers, vocals, sequencers, space synths and sheer cosmic atmosphere meet in one spellbinding melting pot! Working its charms, it blissfully melts the hardest of hearts with vision, wondrous amazement and unbridled enjoyment of psychedelic seventies, GONG-influenced, new age synth music at its finest. Fellow French synth man Jean-Philippe Rykiel lends a hand and plays a vital role, as the two musicians create heaven on a CD. So, a classic on two thirds of an album? You better believe it!! Musician line-up: Tim Blake (keyboards / guitars / vocals) and Jean-Phillipe Rykiel (Mini-Moog on 'Passage Sur La Cit?' {De La R?v?lation}' and 'Blake's New Jerusalem'. Track List: 01. Song For A New Age (5:13) 02. Lighthouse (6:46) 03. Generator {Laser Beam} (3:34) 04. Passage Sur La Cite? {Des Revelations} (7:43) 05. Blake's New Jerusalem (16:12) 06. Woodland Voice [B-side of Single - Previously Unreleased on CD] * Bonus Track * 07. From Outta Space [taken from 'Waterfalls From Space'] * Bonus Track * 08.

And lo it was there. I'd signed up for an account with them when trying to get hold of an entirely different album (_Subkraut: U-Boats Wilkommen Hier_ by Vespero, which is excellent), but it turned out to be easier to get by other routes so I never went any further. This time I did, and I kind of cleaned out on several things I've been after for a long long time, including a 7" of ICU's `Paradise Beach' and, holy of holies, DarXtar's _Darker_. Well, at that point I had two thoughts. The first of them, and meaner, was that when I saw DarXtar play in London and I afterwards talked to the Commander about the unavailability of that album, I encouraged him to re-release it as a CD-R so he could actually see some money out of it, and he said no, he thought it was good that there should be some rarities. Well, now I have a copy and he got nothing from it, so I still think he would have done better to do it my way. But then, a quickly following second thought, this CD is rare than hen's teeth; if it's available, that probably means someone's collection is being sold off.

I return... Hopefully there's still some people out there and you're all OK! I return because I recently had something of a collector's score, after finding myself led to Discogs.com by Googling for Magic Muscle's _The Pipe, The Roar and the Grid_, the only one of their albums I didn't have. And lo it was there. I'd signed up for an account with them when trying to get hold of an entirely different album (_Subkraut: U-Boats Wilkommen Hier_ by Vespero, which is excellent), but it turned out to be easier to get by other routes so I never went any further. This time I did, and I kind of cleaned out on several things I've been after for a long long time, including a 7" of ICU's `Paradise Beach' and, holy of holies, DarXtar's _Darker_. Well, at that point I had two thoughts. The first of them, and meaner, was that when I saw DarXtar play in London and I afterwards talked to the Commander about the unavailability of that album, I encouraged him to re-release it as a CD-R so he could actually see some money out of it, and he said no, he thought it was good that there should be some rarities. Well, now I have a copy and he got nothing from it, so I still think he would have done better to do it my way. But then, a quickly following second thought, this CD is rare than hen's teeth; if it's available, that probably means someone's collection is being sold off. Which left me suddenly feeling guilty and wondering: is everyone on BOC-L OK? Have I missed someone's final departure into space in my absence? And, well, I thought I'd sign back on and check...
