CRYSTAL MACHINE

I believe that the 2000 Blueprint CD release of 'Crystal Machine' is the same as the album from 1977 as two of the tracks are live recordings from that time, but there is very little information in the booklet. Tim is listed as the only musician, but also featured is Patrice Warrener is credited with all of the lasers/effects and the impression is very much that music was only part of the show. Tim was very much into the dreamy Gong/Floyd/Hawkwind space-style of playing, and this album is a very good example of it. Again, this has to be treated either as background music or late night sounds to drift into. Dynamic excitement it is not!
