Tim Blake
 Caldea Music II $14.49 A true master in the use of synthetizers, Blake delivers explorative atmospheres. With Konan Mevel on Catalan Veuze & Celtic Flute.  Blake's New Jerusalem $23.99 Originally released in 1978,as this was Blake's second lp.Perhaps more polished than 'Crystal Machine' plus it seems to be more progressive and less spacy,but nearly as good.Also notice that '...New Jerusalem' has more of Blake's vocals.The top cuts here are "Lighthouse" in which Blake still plays live today while he's currently in-and-out on tour with Hawkwind and the sixteen minute well played title track "Blake's New Jerusalem".After hearing this CD,you'll most likely understand as to just WHY Blake chose to exit Gong a few years earlier.  Crystal Machine $29.49 WHY ARE ALBUMS THAT ARE MILESTONES IN MUSIC HISTORY LEFT IN THE DUST BIN AND SO MUCH GARBAGE IS CONSTANTLY BEING REMASTERED & RERELEASED? WHEN AN ALBUM SUCH AS CRYSTAL MACHINE COMES ALONG AND INSPIRES SO MANY MILLION ARTISTS, WHY ISN'T IT GIVEN IT'S DUE? PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND, WHO IS THE KNUMBNUTZ THAT LET THIS CD BECOME OUT OF PRINT? IS IT TIM TRYING TO MAKE BANK ON HIS DEBUT? CAN HE BE THAT SELFISH? I HAVE A SNEAKY SUSPICION IT'S SOME OTHER BLARNEY.(WHOEVER OUT THERE THAT KNOWS WHAT TO DO, PLEASE, BEFORE I DIE, REMASTER AND RERELEASE CRYSTAL MACHINE & NEW JERUSALEM) |
