A scorching psychedelic epic straight from a bubbling mind, Stan Hubbs' Crystal is an anomaly recorded in 1982 in a remote cabin in the redwood forests of California. A true gem of self-produced acid rock, the album connects the soaring flights of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" with domestic delusions of hallucinogenic harpsichord. A singular work, born outside of time and circuits, Crystal reflects the inner world of a solitary musician, exploring trance and mental wandering through hypnotic and saturated textures. For its 44th anniversary, this hydroponic reissue includes Hubbs' original 16-page booklet of poems and drawings — an ideal companion for the expansion of consciousness.
