Description
Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered edition of “Caldea Music II�, the 2002 album by Tim Blake. Tim 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�. He would also join Hawkwind from 1979 – 1980 and from November 2007. After departing Gong in 1975 he teamed up with French lighting designer Patrice Warrener to form Crystal Machine, pioneering the use of lasers & synthesisers in a live setting. Balke’s debut solo album, “Crystal Machine�, was originally released in 1977 on the French experimental label Egg. Tim followed this with “Blake’s New Jerusalem� in 1978. Unlike his previous work, the album featured songs and the lengthy title-track would dominate the album’s 2nd side. Tim Blake joined Hawkwind in 1979 and remained with the group for just over a year before returning to France & moving away from music. In 2002 Tim recorded & released “Caldea Music II�, a work especially commissioned by the Caldea Spa centre in Andorra. The album saw Tim return to his purely instrumental roots, cited by some as a modern equivalent of his classic “Crystal Machine�. Unavailable for many years “Caldea Music II� has been newly re-mastered and features a booklet with a new essay and fully restores the original album artwork.
