crystal

A blazing example of deeply personal psychedelia, this work feels unearthed from the farthest reaches of a private inner world. Recorded in an isolated cabin among the California redwoods, Stan Hubbs’ 1982 mind-bending creation Crystal stands as a strange and fascinating bridge between the grandeur of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and lo-fi, homegrown harpsichord-driven hallucinations.

This “hydroponic” 44th anniversary edition expands the experience even further, including Hubbs’ original 16-page booklet filled with poetry and doodles—an intimate companion piece designed to gently guide the listener through altered states of consciousness and creative exploration.
