A member of both Gong and Hawkwind, Tim Blake's slow-moving keyboard style has too featured conspicuously in his possess work. His Crystal Machine throw of the mid to late '70s was among the first term of enlistment acts to feature major optical maser light shows. Often compared to Tangerine Dream, Blake has continued to record into the 2000s, with his up-to-the-minute act upon, Tide of the Century, continuing to build on his experimental keyboard style.
Tim Blake was natural on February 6, 1952, in Hammersmith, West London. At dramatic event school day, he became interested in perusing sound. He became mired with the experimental psychedelic mathematical group Gong in 1971. At first he was supposed to be the group's sound valet de chambre, only the job was interpreted from him. He and then briefly served as keyboardist for the mathematical group, only his make for did not please Gong drummer Pip Pyle, and Blake was get go. Far from discouraged, Blake founded the Crystal Machine studio in the south of France. There, he made a demonstration cassette of his act upon on the EMS synthesiser. He and then rejoined Gong in 1972 as the band's keyboardist under the name Hi T. Moonweed. He remained with the band until they bust up in 1976. Meanwhile, with Patrice Warrener, he formed Crystal Machine, which toured behind prima light shows throughout the late '70s. Crystal Machine (1977) is an compartmentalization of tracks from assorted live shows. 1978's Blake's New Jerusalem was the keyboardist's first studio solo phonograph recording.
After a quislingism with Hawkwind's Nik Turner, Blake coupled Hawkwind in 1979. However, he was dropped unceremoniously by the group in 1980 and Blake would perform very minuscule throughout the succeeding decade. He returned with Magick (1991), simply outside of diverse reunification concerts with Gong, remained smooth until 2000's Tide of the Century.
