TIM BLAKE


Magick, 1991
Tim Blake played in both Gong and Hawkwind and used his synthy keyboard skills in solo projects.
Well cheesy and dangerously new age be warned- but a spacey synth expedition it is. 

DEAD FLOWERS


Altered State Circus, 1994

"Hold the Bullshit! This is the real thing! Newcastle's Dead Flowers bring you their third album and indeed what a sticky fusion of in your face, slicing acid grunge, drifting hallucinatory ambience and intergalactic head piracy it is!
Altered State Circus is a state of the art trip from the campfires of Glastonbury, through sweating raves and onward to the clear mountain air of Nepal. Ride this cyberspace chill out wave through acid guitar heaven on a smoking spliff riff. Free the weed!"  Delerium Records.

SUN DIAL


Other Way Out, 1990
Absolute classic of neo-psychedelia.
Gary Ramon's first Sun Dial album was a wonderfully trippy way to bring that psych sound into the '90s. Lush and lysergic.
